June 25, 2025Went in expecting a simple drink and got out hours later with two bottles of rum after a great cocktail experience with the bartender Ivan. Loved the atmosphere and all the drinks were top notch, Ivan walked us though the history of the Crab Island rum and really left me wanting more ( had to look for more Guarapo also when I went back) 😂 greatly recommended.

July 18, 2025Un lugar bien bonito y fresco, el ambiente es super chill y los tragos están en la madre! Tienen que probarlos todos, cada cual tiene lo suyo. El servicio muy profesional. Si buscas refrescarte con un buen trago hecho con ron de aquí este es tu spot!

July 30, 2025Beautiful place, great rum, and perfectly crafted cocktails my favorite was the Ginger Pacha. The atmosphere is lively and it’s just steps away from the beach. I highly recommend it as a must-stop spot on the island!

May 24, 2025What a great experience… Really love this distillery. Their staff are very well trained and knowledgeable. I highly recommend their coffee infused rum as an perfect after dinner drink. The orange infused is perfect for mixing… Check out their steak tacos… My favorite cocktail is the ginger parcha… Try it, you will thank me later…
