"South Padre Island’s stop for brewed-on-site beer also has a vast menu. However, those expecting a traditional pub menu will instead find fresh snapper filets, beer-battered shrimp, and entrees like Texas quail and pizza topped with smoked ham and bacon. Padre Island Brewing Co. offers various dietary substitutions for plant-based eaters and those avoiding gluten, like a cauliflower pizza crust, Beyond Burger, and vegan mozzarella, all provided without an extra charge. The inside of the brewery is quite the scene — it’s loaded with nautical decor, decorative growlers on the walls, and barley bags on the ceiling, but be sure to also check out the rooftop patio, which offers unique views of the surrounding neighborhood." - Lane Gillespie
