Roatan Island Brewing Co — Restaurant in Roatán

My family stopped here at Roatan Island Brewing Co last month while on the island during a cruise stop. We did not have an excursion booked but ended up renting a taxi and while driving around saw the sign for the brewery and asked the driver to stop. We were so happy that we did. My husband loves trying different craft beers so when we travel we try to stop at a brewery. I personally do not like hoppy beers so will drink light beers or ciders. I ordered a flight with various ciders and I wish I could remember what I ordered but enjoyed them all! The owner was there and even offered our daughter some fresh hibiscus juice they had just made but was not ready for purchase. They had a shadow box with law enforcement patches and we left one for him to add to the next box. All of the staff was friendly and will definitely stop here again if we have the opportunity to come back...

Depending on where you're coming from, it can be a bit of a trek to get here. But it's worth going as they're situated near the best water on the island. The beers are tasty and they rotate their offerings quite frequently so there's usually something new to try. I really liked their Pina Hefe. The food is quite excellent as well. We tried their special of the day which was a BBQ pulled chicken sandwich with homemade kettle chips and it didn't disappoint. If you can, try to get a tour from one of the owners, Mark. He was very knowledgeable and really funny. If you got a driver to take you out here, it's worth negotiating with them to wait for you, as it can be hard to get a cab out there. If they're waiting for you and you can afford the stretch, it's good form to buy...

We went on a rainy day and it was packed with cruise ship tours, we would have gone another day but they’re not open Monday and Tuesday. We hear going on the weekend is actually better because there are fewer or no cruise ships. Service lacked because of the tours and because it was rainy there were a lot of bugs. Besides our not great experience the food was fine, and they had options for kids. They have a limited beer menu depending on the day but a lot of options to try when we were there, including some seltzers and their homemade kombucha. We tried a flight and they were good. If the weather was nicer they have a lot of outdoor seating and absolutely beautiful grounds. Worth checking out for somewhere to go and chill, when...
