As with any brewery, Naked Iguana has some good beers and some ok beers. The 1839 IPA and Bolivar Beacon are real winners. The brewery is very comfortable for hanging out and watching a match on the big screen. read more

Great atmosphere. Lots of various types of seating (bar stools, couches, tall tables, booths) and a beer garden. A healthy variety of brew types to chose from, as well as seltzers and wine. The Bolivar Beacon Kolsch at 5.5 ABV has a clean finish with just a touch of hop. The Cien Raspberry at 5.5 ABV is a Top 3 Raspberries I've all I have had. It's perfection. Not too heavy or sweet. Just a good pour. Get to The Strand and make your way to Naked Iguana read more

This place is cool, very chill, the bartender was nice. Lots of good beer to choose from. They don't have food but the place across the street is good and delivers it. read more

I stopped by here yesterday with my family for some afternoon drinks. We decided to head to Naked Iguana Brewing on a whim as we couldn't decide where we wanted to eat. I had marked this as a place I had wanted to stop at on vacation and the fact that you could order food from across the street at Coastal Grill and have it walked over sealed the deal for us. The inside of the beer garden consisted of a number of picnic tables and high-top chairs with several TVs mounted on the walls. There was also a playhouse with toys that kept my twins entertained the whole time we were there. I also liked that they had hot dogs, nachos, and chili with cheese available for tips only, which was a nice touch. On this evening I decided to go with the Checkered Past WCIPA while my wife went with the Don't Be a Karen tangerine hard seltzer. The guys working were friendly, and we quickly had our drinks in hand and found a spot to sit. My Checkered Past had a solid beer flavor through the middle with the bitterness coming on the finish. It was a nice sipper with notes of pine. My wife's seltzer had tangerine flavor from start to finish with a good tartness throughout. My son and daughter both had one of the hot dogs from the snack area, and I have to admit they were really good hot dogs. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I'm a little sad I only got to try one of their beers, but I was happy with what we had and liked the relaxed, family-friendly setup. read more

Great beer. Great service. Cool spot! You can order food from across the street. Will be back! read more

Great spot for laid back and comfortable beer-sipping good times. All different types of areas to sit in and you can order food from Coastal Grill across the street. This was my second time here and both times, the service has been fantastic. They're all so relaxed and happy to help you find exactly what your tastebuds need. The beer is good too! Not my favourite around but still definitely tasty enough to stop in for a flight or pint. read more

I came in on a Tuesday night at 6:30pm. There's a few parking spots in front, else it's parallel parking along the street. I was provided quick service by Christine. I got two flights which is around $12-$14 per flight. I really enjoyed the Cien (Stout) and Bad Memory. It's a pretty cool place with merch and alcoholic desserts. You can enjoy your beer with popcorn or food from the Coastal Grill across the street. read more

Naked Iguana Brewery - Top Flight: Phat Lucy, G-Town Brown, Loch Ness and Bad Memory Bottom Flight: For Whom the Belgian Tolls, Bolivar Beacon, Chuck Norris, Cien - Beer Bar Near Me - Galveston, Texas

We were recommended this place by a local and we are glad we went! The bartender was so sweet and tentative. It was very evident this is where the locals go to drink! Everyone was so friendly. We didn't have much time so we only ordered a flight of 5 of their beers. So many options and everything we tried was great. Will return on our next visit to Galveston! read more

This is one of the newest drinking spots on the Strand and if you're a fan of good craft beer, this should be one of your destination points. As someone who's worked in the craft beer business for 30 years, I can tell you these craft beers are actually on point. Their IPAs are solid, their Scottish ale was good and their brown ale is one of the best I've ever had. I do recommend starting out with a flight of four of their beers for just a mere $10. If you're not in to beer, they do have a significant wine list as well which is fairly affordable. As for the interior of the place, there are 20 seats at the bar, three 8 top tables, five booths and two cozy corners. There are also 5 flats screens, a popcorn machine, a dartboard, and a shuffleboard. It does have a clean industrial modern feel to it, but it does have two intimate corners for families or friends. They also have a table in the back where you can choose from a number of boardgames to play. The only downside to this place is that parking can be problematic, especially during tourist season and they do not serve food of any kind. They remedy the food situation by having a menu from a restaurant called Coastal Grill which is directly across the street and they will gladly deliver to the bar. And before I forget, the place is dog friendly and you won't be hit with the tip screen when they run your card. read more

Didn't try their food but the beer was great!!! Have only been open since the Spring in Galveston Strand District. Great location on the corner. Large tasting area. Service was great and very friendly staff even though I was last arriving. Nice table or bar seating. Staff was wonderful. Explained their brew methods in and were willing to share samples. Some places get tired quickly of tastings. No here!!! They helped me choose a beer I would like!! read more

Good Beer, a good variety Ales/Lagers to IPA's and Stouts. The Staff was great. The Atmosphere was fun. The name was the first to catch your eye brings you in. read more

Great new addition to the downtown Galveston Strand district. Super friendly folks behind the bar serving up ice cold amazing beer and seltzers brewed locally right here in GTX. Beer is great, and the food delivery from the place right across the street is an awesome convenience also. Definitely going to be one of my go to spots in Galveston. Cheers read more

Naked Iguana Brewery - Iguana Style - Beer Bar Near Me - Galveston, Texas

This brewery/taproom is exceptional. They have a terrific variety of craft beers to suit all tastes. Also offer seltzers brewed in house plus wine and soda pop. Carry out food is welcome. The taproom is dog and kid friendly. Many screens to watch sports. Plenty of room to find your best spot for meeting up or making new friends. Much has been stated about the special vibe here that reflects the island and current season. Small but mighty - my favorite taproom in TX. read more

Wow, what an amazing brewery experience in an area that I didn't believe would be THIS good. Almost everything we tried in our flights was spectacular and I found it cool that they make their own watermelon seltzer. The IPAs were all stellar and the bartender was wonderful. My brother tried some canned cocktails before I could give him any warning and when she saw that we didn't drink them, she refunded us. Delicious brews, great vibes. Total surprise! read more

Visited Naked Iguana Brewery for the first time yesterday. We really liked it. The atmosphere was chill and the beers we tried were very, very good. There's free popcorn, decent music (and in June they'll have live music), and it's dog friendly, probably iguana friendly too! If you're hungry for more than popcorn, Coastal Grill is right across the street. My takeaway -- check this place out. You're probably going to like it a lot. read more

The best folks on the island! We frequent often. I even got a NIB Hazy IPA at Vide Agave restaurant. Both places are awesome!!!! read more

Full disclosure, this is my friend's business. However, I want to give an accurate and truthful review. I owe it to my friend and you Yelpers. The Naked Iguana Brewery (NIB) is new and hasn't had the Grand Opening to the public. I saw it before the renovations and updates that turned it into the new and up and coming place it is now. My friends, the owners Richard and Tracy, have really put in the sweat equity to transform the space into a fantastic brewery and place to spend time with friends and family. Richard has definitely honed his beer making skills. I am not a beer aficionado; however, I know a quality beer when I taste it and the NIB has some excellent beer on tap The wife and I went to the founders (Investors) appreciation gathering on 11/25/2023. What a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the custom beer menu selections, spend time with friends, or just relax after strolling on the Strand. You can sit at the L-shaped bar, table, high top table, booth, or in a couple comfy areas for a more intimate setting. If you're not into beer, theres' other options for you too, like wine and canned cocktails. What a fresh new space! I love it. The only humbly suggested improvements would be low background music appropriate for the audience and reduced lighting in the chic pendants over the booths. Other than those minor adjustments I thought they hit every element of a successful business startup. Thank you Richard and Tracy for following your dreams and bringing us along. Please stop by and say hello to my friends, grab a delicious beer and enjoy your experience at the Naked Iguana Brewery. Bon Tiempo Yelpers! read more

Great microbrewery in Galveston. They make a wide selection of beers. All the ones we tried were good. Richard Rennison, the owner came over and talked to us, and told us about the history of the building which was interesting. He also gave us a tour of the back of the brewery. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in trying good local craft beer. read more

This place is the newest little gem on the island. Right off the Strand I spent the day in there recently. Richard and Tracy the owners are down to earth and generally enjoyable people to be around. Crazy that this is the result of their joint efforts and believe it or not a second career. Both are recently retired from their first career. They had 13, yes 13, different beers on tap.. I still cannot believe that Richard put the whole brewery together by himself with the help of a couple of friends. It is dog friendly has great food and live music from time to time. I would highly recommend this place to anyone living on the island or if you are just passing through. It is literally a block or two from the cruise ship terminals. FIVE STARS!! Thanks for making my trip to the island more enjoyable. Thanks Coby read more
