Visited whilst enjoying a nice visit to the islands. Everyone's very friendly and the drinks are decently priced and very well made. The outdoor atmosphere is nice and everyone was very welcoming! Definitely will go again!
Had the most amazing time here! Jeremy gave us an experience we’ll never forget!!! not only is he handsome and available but he also knows how to sling a drink and have a good time!
Great place to just sit and relax. Enjoy an ice cold beer 🍻
Rum Island Pub is the place to be! Whether you’re looking for a spot before you hit the airport, a drink after shopping on waterfront, or any time any day good atmosphere, you’ve found the right spot. Owner Ryan has great recommendations, and bartender Amy makes awesome drinks. Try the Rum Island Punch or Mermaid Water.
Three words. Homemade. Jalapeño. Tequila. Rum Island pub is such a great bar with good vibes and great bartenders. Jeremy made us feel welcome, made a fire spicy margarita and chatted with us! Recommend 10/10
Fun little bar in the Alley - had a Caribbean flare to it. The bar tender was very friendly, Willoughby and another dog played for a while. Many locals after five after cruise ships have departed. Bushwhackers and Rum Punch were delicious
Watched a basketball game and enjoyed the Blueberry lemonade. It was really good! The bartender was a little annoyed that we asked him to change the channel haha but the drinks were great and you can’t beat the location.
My husband and I were on our way back to a cruise ship when we spotted the Rum Island Pub in St. Thomas USVI & I'm so glad we did! We stopped in for just a short visit and had the best rum punch ever! 🧉 We met the owner, Ryan, and enjoyed talking with him! The pub was in a great location and had an atmosphere & decor that draws you in. I wish we had seen it sooner & spent more time there, but hope to go back again someday. Definitely worth stopping in and a highlight of our trip! We had a little fun with one of the photos. 😊
Ice cold beer and atmosphere tv... what more do you need
Check this place out in St Thomas. Great painkillers and located just inside the Drakes passageway!
*EDIT* I changed the review to 5 stars since they corrected the wrong charge on my CC. I wasn t expecting it but they did acknowledge the mistake and fixed it.
So fun and cute!! Jeremy was so sweet and fun! Great experience
No food here just fantastic people and the best drinks
Stopped in for drinks. Jeremy took great care of us. The beer is cold and the Pog is tasty.
Jeremy is the best!! Great drinks and recommendations !
Jeremy is an amazing bartender! So excited to see another person from NC!

Chill place to stop for a drink in an alley near the waterfront. Great drinks. Good prices.
Great bar tucked in off the street. Good drinks and super nice bartender. What more do you need?!
Casual spot in an alleyway to stop and have a cold drink while shopping around downtown St.Thomas. Food is not served here but the staff was friendly.

Love RIP. It is a bar in Drakes Passage. Nothing fancy but cold beer. Park you spouse here or at the Greenhouse if you are shopping.
I have a question. Would it be possible for me to buy a run island pub hat?
Best drinks in town!!!!! Friendly service!!!! Stopped in for one and ended up having three and a couple of tee shirts!!!!! I will definitely go back there next time!!!!
Friendly, local atmosphere. Service was great and the drink menu was surprisingly extensive.
excellent atmosphere, best pizza on island! hands down.

Enjoyed a rum cocktail and a Leatherback Island Life Lauger. Ryan is the best bartender/owner! We had a good time and great afternoon drinks.
Great drinks on my trip
Cash only but awesome run drinks
Best Pain Killer on the island, owner & locals are friendly, definitely a great experience. Will be stopping more before we leave.
Friendly bartender/owner. Nice pour on the rum drinks.
Fun time very welcoming vibe from the bartender
The rumpunch was good! And as promised, strong.
Love the location and the service
Cute place in Old Town with view of the water and great drinks. Ryan made the perfect St. Thomas bushwacker and then took me home with an Alabama bushwacker. My friend had the rum island punch and the painkiller and says both were great. Will come back when we return to St. Thomas.
The owner Ryan is a homie. He is usually there ALL the time they are open. 10:30-11ish until 6-7ish. It is outdoor seating only and a great view of waterfront. If you want to support an independent bar with an owner who truly believes in reasonable prices, service and has inventive local inspired drinks and house made liquors then come here! Shout out to snark snark and Kenny beans! I didnt think you would want me to put your names on blast.
loved it
Good drinks, reasonably priced. Good service.
Awesome little spot. Great prices right in downtown. Bryan the bartender is awesome and very personable. The spicy margarita is probably the best Ive ever had. The tequila is included with jalapenos and habanero. Have to stop by
Great little stop in St. Thomas. Bartender and owner Ryan is a real pleasure to sit and just BS about the island with. If your looking for the inside scoop on St. Thomas this is the place to be.
Owner was nice. Rum punch was good!!
Great pub with a nice view of the water. The owner was nice and has some house infused liquors for drinks. I would definitely go again if we get back to St Thomas. Try the rum punch or two!
Great drinks and super cool bartender! Highly recommend. Will be back every year to say hi and tilt back a few. Cheers!
Super cool alley bar, Nick Snarski bartender is the best. Only there a few days here and there unfortunately... Place has history and super local support.
Got RIPd. Great place, great people!
Its an Amazing little spot tucked into downtown with good prices and atmosphere.
Great bar, fun games, yummy drinks and awesome prices! Not to mention the owner and bartender are great guys!

KENNEDY WAS THE BEST EVER. WHAT AN AMAZING BARTENDER. FUNNY, POLITE, IMFORMATIVE. MUST GO WHEN IN St. THOMAS.
Super nice place
Met some great folks at RIP, great drinks and cool people. Mix of tourist and locals, very friendly outside pup. We frequented the pub a few times and were made to feel very welcome.
Wonderful friendly little bar that caters to locals & tourists alike. Located in the heart of Downtown Charlotte Amalie. Thanks to owner Ryan & locals who made this our favorite spot in town! Keep up the good work & we will definitely see you again!
Quaint little place with awesome service and great prices.
This is a great spot to swing into if you are informally walking around St. Thomas during a cruise stop. The vibe is great and the staff is super friendly. Although they dont have any food, it is an easy spot to stop and try some different rum drinks before getting back on board. If you follow them on social media, they will give you a free shot or floater. Great experience during our short stop here. I would recommend the Rum Punch!
Really do it!!!
Im not normally the type to leave a review, but these folks deserve it. My family stopped here while looking for a bathroom and wound up staying for about two hours because the atmosphere is so great! Cheap drinks, a fantastic view of the beach, and some of the nicest bartenders Ive ever met. If Im lucky enough to wind up back in the USVI, this will be at the top of my list!
Excellent food and service.
Coolest little bar in the Caribbean. Great drinks and great people with a view of the harbor. You will go for one and find yourself there for hours.
Great drinks and great atmosphere
Cute little place. Bartender was very friendly. Cash only. Drinks are good, but expensive. However, they all are in that area. No bathroom. You have to ask for a key to one if needed. We enjoyed it and would go back.
Awesome visit. Christine is the best. Make sure to stop bye for a drink and say hi to her!
Great place must stop!
A must do! This little bar is named THE HUSBAND DAYCARE and is ran by the 2 nicest people in the town. This couple made the trip and our drinks were awesome. Close to the flea market and walking distance from the ships!!!! Get a few beers while the wife shops.
A place for men to sit down and drink rum whilst the wives shop
In the Caribbean what more can I say..
Great little spot and perfect for a quick stop while visiting downtown. The bartenders were super friendly, just be aware that this place (like many others!) is cash only!
Wonderfull hostess. Knows how to make excellent drinks.
Love this place. Dont miss it!

Very good location, however the attitude with which the bartender treated me was awful! If like an American that is customer service, she is doing the wrong business, because apparently she is partner or owner..

Melissa is bar owner, love the service. Excellent service. You have to stop by, great place to enjoy.
The owner, millissa, is fantastic she will take care of you. The bar is very small but the service will keep then make up for the limited chair space. Everything is priced reasonable for the island. There is a house game, roll of the day, very fun and worthwhile for the $3.

Quant little pub. Good to stop for a drink
Michelle is the best bartender in the world probably
Love this pub
Great little place with a relaxed atmosphere, tasty drinks, and funny, friendly bartenders. If you sit in the right place, you might get free excess from the drinks they mix.
We had a great time! Left my husband in the daycare while I shopped. Great people great fun!
Ive been to multiple pubs on the island. This one is by far my favorite. The live music was fantastic with many people singing along and the rum punch was to amazing. This place is a must for those visiting the island.
Roll tide Sea mass!!!! Had the best time!!!!
