In Corpus Christi, when you want to find a superb glass of whiskey, visit Rockit's. Conveniently located downtown, the bar offers several Texan whiskeys such as Balcones, Garrison Brothers and Red River brands, just to name a few. Rockit's also has plenty of flavored whiskeys, some of which include Fireball, Piehole - which has an Apple/Pecan touch - and the happily spiced Jeremiah Weed Sarsaparilla. Oftentimes, in addition to great bourbon, the venue also presents live music.
A Corpus Christi original, this fast-food chain has expanded all across the southern states, from Arizona to Florida.

There are various locations around the city, try the one on North Shoreline Boulevard, just steps from the ocean.
Part of the Landry's Seafood Restaurant chain, the Corpus Christi branch is a treat because it is located on a renovated passenger barge at the end of People Street T-Head. The location makes for a unique dining experience that few other restaurants in town can offer.
