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

Happy hour late lunch with hubby was a bit of a disappointment. First time there, so didn’t know what to expect. One large noisy room, packed with wall to wall customers. Ordered bottled beer with lime and Bloody Mary, nothing special. Food was their happy hour selection appetizers (all fried and probably frozen, not good), fish tacos were super dry and on Red (food coloring yuck) corn tortillas. The service was poor and we were rushed out to free up our table. Probably won’t return, too touristy.

Stopped by for the beer mainly. I had the Stout and my wife had the blonde, both very good. We split the supreme nachos which were surprisingly good. The owner/manager was walking around talking to everyone there, but never said anything to us.......not sure why. Regardless the beer was great and the food and service was excellent.

This place has GREAT beer and GREAT food! Loved their Blond and Wheat beers!!
I had a spinach salad with grilled chicken. They make a pesto dressing which was delicious. Husband had a burger and onion rings which he really enjoyed.
The best part about this place was the servers. SHOUT OUT TO CARLEY who remembered where we said we were going next, and she called that place to let them know that I had left my purse in the chair. Needless to say, she made what could have been a huge headache, no big deal.
I highly recommend you try this place next time you're in South Padre!!

This Brewery is a popular spot. We just supposed to be there during happy hour 2pm-6pm. They had pitchers of beer for $10, pints for $3 and margaritas $3. They also had some food. We did the pick 3 and it was fried appetizers. We also ordered the blackened fish tacos. Everything was good, Their drinking water is really good. The waiter said they have especially good water because they use that in their beer. We had a very helpful waiter and good service.
