Brewery with beer, wine, spirits, food trucks & live music
"More than a brewery, this is Nantucket’s daytime social hub where refreshing, summer‑crisp IPAs share the spotlight with live bands and a dancing crowd. The food truck rotation is stacked (167 Raw, Millie’s, Lemon Press), and while it’s not walkable from town, a free shuttle runs all day between the venue and Federal Street. Expect flirty, serendipitous energy—yes, even in line for a blueberry vodka lemonade—and know the party wraps by 7 p.m. (6 on Sundays). Its popularity has spawned satellite outposts in Boston’s Seaport and Fenway." - Alex Erdekian
"Nantucket’s most famous brewery has three bars serving Cisco craft beer, wine, and cocktails, and is an essential island hang. There are plenty of picnic tables and food trucks like Big Hug Dumplings and the Lobster Trap Truck. Cisco gets crowded at the height of the season, but it’s pretty much the perfect vacation day drinking situation. Just know that it’s sort of in the middle of nowhere, right off Hummock Pond Road." - tanya edwards

"Cisco Brewers was founded on Nantucket in 1995 and the on-island original location still maintains a unique feel. Visit the brewery to grab a local beer, listen to live music, and snack on bites from a rotating food truck selection. During the season, the brewery runs a continuous shuttle bus from the downtown area to the brewery further inland." - Celina Colby
"Included as the afternoon brewery stop on a Nantucket itinerary—part of an island loop that pairs casual drinking, biking, and coastal dining." - Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel is a writer with more than eight years of experience editing and writing for both brands and online publications—with a particular focus on travel, fashion, and lifestyle.
