Fantastic burgers and fried mac ‘n cheese. Their local beers are great as well. Very nice place in Cowes.

Horrible food, burnt chips and 24 dollars for a little burger. Small roll, chicken dry as. Tourists I'm a local and I'm telling you. Don't waste your time here.
Our timing again proved poor in Cowes as we completely missed this spot last visit! But as we arrived to sample the goods the crew were packing up for the night but the lovely staff member said come on in! We had to pick a...good one and settled on the Porter, which proved popular. A fair selection available to try and with more time I always go the paddle! Well suited to a quiet afternoon in the outdoor area on a sunny day, we will hope for fine weather when next in PI? And a longer visit to fully sample the wares!More
Only had a drink and some snacks, but appreciate the waitress standing up for use when the table became free people walking past pounced, she asked them to get up and get in line. When you have young kids, I love that she had the...backbone to do that for us. Plus the wine was really nice. 10 stars!More
Blooming brilliant burgers! I had the Gluten free version of one and my partner had the super size chicken and beef patty burger. Honestly the best burger I've had since I dont know when! And the other got a similar rating! Get onto it!
This brewery is a great place to enjoy good beer and a really good burger. Sitting outside is best, especially in the hot weather. The staff are very helpful and you can enjoy a taste of any of the beers before ordering.
Cheers for stopping by! Great to hear you enjoyed your experience. Cheers
Great beer, lacking atmosphere. We tasted all 10 tap beers and were impressed. Although 6 of the 10 were IPAs we enjoyed them, but thought more variety would be nice. Our favourite was the hazy pineapple IPA. Only thing lacking was atmosphere, we didn’t quite...know why. Maybe lacking a bit of personality or character. Still had a great experience and would recommend the beer.More
A recent visit to Cowes saw us book a table at the venue. The beer sampling started with a couple of paddles of their craft beer selection. Some really good beers! The weather outside turned a bit nasty so we settled and planned a couple...of burgers, which after a previous visits we were looking forward to. Power outage! No burgers. Our host managed to ensure we finished our range of beers and provided us with a few nibbles under the light from our mobile phones. As mentioned, not our first visit and certainly not the last. Extraordinary service given the situation and greatly appreciated. Highly recommend Ocean Reach to anyone visiting the Island in need of a decent beer or burger.More
I love a good burger and a craft beer so I was very happy to be here. Staff were also very friendly and service was good. The only drawback was the atmosphere, as I felt it was lacking. There weren't many people there, the small...interior layout didn't feel comfortable and there was no buzz.More
Good choice of burgers, not too many choices so it made life easy with kids. We had our dog there which as easy. Nice beers on tap, very friendly and helpful service. Would recommend to a family. Could put lights outside
Was passing by and was drawn in. Had a tasting paddle, here you get to choose the beers. Great beers and some good beer food to accompany. Staff friendly and knowledgeable.
Tasty burgers and beers especially the pale ale. The additional outdoor seating is a real bonus post covid.
Love a good craft beer and what more could you ask for the a juicy burger, chips and bay views on the side. A must visit spot on the island.
Ocean Reach is a popular spot in Cowes. I tried several times to secure a spot for one, but Covid-19 restrictions meant they were at capacity (23 people). Having tried some takeaway beers and some from the IGA, I was lucky enough to get a...spot on my last day in Cowes. These are SERIOUSLY good beers. The owner is a gracious host (I only discovered she was the owner after stepping in to stop two entitled customers from abusing her for not allowing an extra person in to join them (a $10,000 fine under Covid). She knows her beer and hops and all that. It's a family run business and in my opinion makes some of (if not the best) IPAs in Australia. The burgers looked amazing, however, I did not eat. I did however, over a period of a few days, try the IPA, the Private Idaho IIPA, the White IPA, the Onslow ESB and the Hazy Pineapple IPA. They were all amazing. They also do a line of sours, but can't comment on them as they are not my thing. I have a new favourite brewery.More
Found the place 2 years ago and returned again to watch Superbikes. Thankfully still as good. Loved the beer especially the Pale Ales. Cant comment on the food, but looked good.
