Crab Island Rum Distillery Kitchen

Your afternoon plans just got a little more spirited. Crab Island Rum Distillery brings together rum made right here in Vieques, tropical cocktails, good food, and an open-air setting that invites you to settle in.

As the island’s first artisan rum distillery, Crab Island offers a taste of local craftsmanship beyond the usual beach-bar pour. Explore aged rums alongside orange and Puerto Rican coffee infusions, try a tasting flight, or let a cocktail introduce you to your new favorite. There’s something especially satisfying about enjoying a drink where its story began.

Come hungry, too. The kitchen makes this a place to spend an afternoon, with visitors praising dishes such as churrasco tacos, crispy chicken sandwiches, and pulled-pork nachos. Gather your crew, order something to share, and enjoy the relaxed surroundings.

Live-music gatherings add another reason to visit, bringing residents and travelers together over food, drinks, and a distinctly Viequense sense of hospitality. Before leaving, browse the gift shop for a bottle to take home—an island souvenir with excellent dinner-party potential.
