    Where to start! It was an amazing experience, from the hospitality to the cocktails! We had planned to visit and our good friend Glo accompanied us. I did the 4 shot sampler, then we sat at the bar where our bartender Alfonso fixed us up some drinks. I tried their piña colada, pain killer, and Crab Island Punch, all three were excellent. We also ordered a food sampler and I was very honored to have gotten a picture taken with the founder Ivan 🙏🏽 After our drinks we purchased some rum and my wife got herself and Glo some earrings. We were gifted some stickers and neck keychains as well. We definitely will be returning on our next visit. If you’re in Vieques visiting the Crab Island Rum Distillery is a must!! They also offer tours of the distillery, don’t miss out!

    Tips on ordering and contacting the venue. First, what a beautiful experience with friendly bartenders and delicious rum. I thought it would be interesting to take a tour and was wondering why tours were not offered, until I arrived and saw that it is a boutique operation. Quite small, and a tour would take about five minutes. Instead, we were treated to local live music; we purchased two rum tastings, and then we ordered some exquisite cocktails. Keep in mind it was a Saturday, and their hours are later on a Saturday, as they stay open until 8 PM. The vibe is local and friendly and again, boutique. We did not try the food truck, though I am reading reviews here that it is excellent. The food truck seems to have a porch and patio, so it looks like more of a permanent installation. I had been trying to email the venue with no success and ask for a tour, because it was really hard to tell from the website if tours were offered. Though it appeared as if they were not. I finally called them and somebody answered the phone right away. Tips on cocktail ordering: try some of the drinks you cannot find anywhere else. My husband ordered a Mojito, and it was OK, but you can get a Mojito anywhere else. Not a great order. My daughter ordered the chupi, and it was excellent. So creative with the rosemary syrup. Really well balanced, and a beautiful drink. If you’re looking at the photos, it’s the one with the pink swirl. I ordered the ginger parcha, and it was one of the most refreshing and interesting cocktails I have ever tasted. And we live in a town known for their craft cocktails. The ginger and the lime balanced beautifully with the passionfruit. I ordered a second one, because it was just too delicious not too! If you are looking at the photos, it is the one that is orange. As far as the rums, we took home a bottle of crab orange and a bottle of crab coffee. Both of these rums were delicious on their own, and would be excellent over ice. We bought a big bottle of each and are excited to share them with our friends on the mainland (or maybe not. Maybe we will keep them all to ourselves! It will clearly depend on how well our friends are behaving!)

    Live music on Saturday night with the rum tasting and legit food. Piña coladas were great, both virgin and with rum.

    My family and I was just there and took a trip to the distillery. The people at the bar were amazing and definitely brought a great vibe to the experience!! I purchased a couple bottles of rum and got home and tried it and now I was wondering how can I get some more?? I was gonna buy online but didn’t see a way to do that. If you could help me out I would greatly appreciate it and again we had a wonderful experience. Staff was top notch

  • We visited Saturday April 6th. They had local musicians playing, and great food. They have a full bar. There are horses grazing in the fields around the distillery. If you can, go on a Saturday 4 to 8 pm I highly recommend. I believe they have local musicians most Saturdays.

  • Orange infused rum was the favorite. Teens were good with horchata and coconut ice. $10 tasting with 4 rums was delightful. A lovely patio. A lovely view.

    The best drink in town with the best Made in Vieques Rum. What a great distillery. And the staff is amazing. Come visit the distillery, grab a different Rum Flavor and say hello to Ivan, the owner. On the weekends they have great live music and La Tabla food serving delicious Pastelillos, tacos and crab sandwich It is an amazing way to enjoy Vieques😎
