Fantastic beer but the girl bartender there is a total b____. We thought that the first time on our last trip that she was having a bad day, that is why she was so rude and condescending,... so we tried again another day....NOPE, same attitude and b____iness So we tried one last time before we left....SAME THING. It was almost... more

The brewpub for St. John Brewers is a hidden paradise among Cruz Bay's Mongoose Junction. If you have had the Tropical Mango, Summer Ale, or Liquid Sunshine before going to The Tap Room, it will do the imaginable, and taste even better at the source. Also enjoy the Green Flash (much better than red bull, especially a flash bomb), Root... more

Hidden paradise. It's not often you find someplace where you can relax in cool air conditioning and enjoy a tasty fresh on-site brewed beer with great lively bartenders at your disposal. I had been a fan of St. John Brewer's beer for a while, but when I tried out the tap room I was hooked for good. Had Meaghan behind... more

The Tap Room is a great place to try a variety of beers on tap. The locally created Liquid Sunshine is to die for, and the free wi-fi and air-conditioning are nice touches. There seems to be a lot of locals there judging by their "Mug Club" and also tourists. I'd definitely go there again the next time I'm in... more

I first discovered The Tap Room a couple of years ago, and make a point of stopping there a few times whenever I'm back on St. John. After a hike or a day of swimming, diving, or laying out on the beaches, the cold, fruit-infused lager, home-made root beer and rum concoctions cooked up by the owners are spot-on. Located... more

The Tap Room may be one of St. John's best kept secrets, though not for long and certainly not to locals. Great beer, and oh so pleasant place to pass a little time in a friendly and fun environment. Great staff and lots of special events to keep you coming back . more

We first got wind of this brewery during our stay at Maho Bay Camps on the far side of the island. After partaking in Happy Hour there, and trying both the Tropical Pale Ale and Island Summer Ale, we were convinced that we needed to find the source. Under the guise of "shopping" we went to Mongoose Junction and stopped... more

We came here several times over the last week of our vacation. Mongoose Junction has a great selection of shopping and dining options. Stop in here first for some great local microbrews and please have a B&B. I think that's what they called it...it's their own brew Root Beer and Rum. sounds weird, but the coconut rum was awesome in... more

If you are looking for an air conditioned beer bar, you found the right place. Great local Virgin Island Brewing Co. beer, great service, 2 flat screen TV's to keep up with sports. $1 off during happy hour and you can even bring your own snacks! Great place for the men to pass the time while the women are shopping... more

Airconditioning. Super friendly bar tenders. Wonderful, original brews. Sports or movies on the tube. Good tunes. No drunks, just friendly beer tasters. Not to mention the bevy of lovelies who seem to always be present. Look for Meaghan behind the bar........she will keep your glass full and your spirits high. Make this stop when its hot and you are thirsty.... more
