Description: "The gastropub movement is well-represented on South Padre Island at Padre Island Brewing Company. Rotating draft selections include several styles of handcrafted suds; Texas Long Board Lager, Tailing Red Amber, and Speckled Trout Stout are among my favorites, when available. If you can’t make up your mind, get the “Sampler Tray,” a tasting of all five beers currently on tap. The menu is extensive—“peel and eat” shrimp, spicy wings, and fried calamari are popular appetizers, as are the chips-and-guacamole combo, ceviche, and nachos. The bar has won an award for its pizza, but I recommend the burgers. If you’re really hungry, order the Texas Burger, a double-patty, one-pound monster topped with jalapenos, mushrooms, and cheese. From the seafood menu, beer-battered shrimp is an obvious choice, and the tuna and flounder are also excellent." From Texas Highways Magazine, June 2015

Dropped in for a quick beer over the noon hour. Service not stellar, but the beer was great!

I got the Tidal Wave Wheat and my husband got the Padre Island pale ale. Both were very good

The first time we ate here we had their pizza and Tidal Wave wheat beer. Both were so good we decided to go back 2 days later for happy hour. We chose the pick 3 appetizer platter and the Tidal Wave beer. Delicious.

I'll start with the fact that they had good beer, pizza, and fries. The staff was ok. That was about the only good thing. My drinking glass had FRESH pink lipstick on it (I wasn't wearing any) and the cost is high for the quality of food. It's one of the better options on the island for someone who doesn't eat seafood, but it's not enough to make me come back. Outer waiter was nice and accommodating but everyone else had a bit of an attitude

Oysters are inexpensive and good. The Quality of beers were surprisingly good from a guy who sold beer for over 20 years. Quite the compliment. It is probably too family friendly for me but the menu is huge. You won't go hungry or spend too much money. The staff is very attentive to all of your needs. If you like beer it's a must stop in South Padre Island.

Nice having a place in SPI that brew their own beer, hubby had the Pale Ale which he enjoyed. Food was good and the happy hour menu has a few items to enjoy a nibble with your beer.
