Step into a nautical retreat that marries old-world elegance and contemporary fare. Rum cask lids line the ceiling and a maritime mural sits over the sleek, modern bar. A wall of rums (including rare and vintage), complete with your own rum specialist, is situated next to the ceviche bar. Outside, you can relax by the large outdoor fire pit with serene waterfall and lagoon views from the breezy patio. With tapas-style dining options and delicious rum tastings, this is an exceptionally cool and stylish watering hole in the heart of an island jewel.

Great place to eat. Tapas style menu is well priced and can easily satisfy as a main meal if you don’t want a huge meal. Highly recommend the goat curry with a side of rice and the banana bread pudding. Drink menu is massive.

We went here for a bite and drink. The mixed drinks are very strong. The rum was very strong. It overpowered the drink. We ordered 3 different foods. Jerk chicken, chicken tacos and the beef empenadas. Food was very good and were small portions. If your hungry order extra. The empenadas were barely warm. I thought they were frozen. They weren’t baked long enough. Their not fried. I give the food a 4. It was a good meal though.

Great dining experience! Drinks mixed to perfection and top quality cuisine. The new churro with ice cream dessert was a great end to the dinner.

Good atmosphere. Most of Tapas that we ordered were good. We particularly like the grilled beef on skewer. However, curry goat is way too salty. Could barely taste the spice, instead the salt. Banana pudding taste good..would prefer to tone the sweetness down.

My fiancée and I have had the most amazing time here at Strong Water Tavern. We had such a delightful time on Friday night, we came back again on Saturday. Even without reservations, the hosts were able to seat us right away (although other reviews do suggest reservations during peak times). The staff are all so friendly and the service is exceptional. Our server Kathleen took amazing care of us and shared some fantastic recommendations for the tapas we should try. What delicious food! Portions are tapas style, so we got to enjoy plenty of variety in the dishes we tried both nights. The rum selection is extensive so I opted to try their rum flight option to sample some different varieties. The rum captain Elizabeth came over to our table and was so knowledgeable as she guided me through the history and character of the different rums I was sampling.

Food arrived cold and the portions were poor. Tables around us left unattended with dirty dishes and had to change our chairs upon arrival as they had food on them.

The food was delicious. We ordered beef empanadas, curry goat, arroz con pollo, the tuna ceviche, a kids meal and a coquito cheesecake. Our server did inform us that the portions are smaller so she recommended two items to equate to an entree portion. The reason for the one star deduction is the pricing. It’s quite expensive. If you are ok with splurging on the price then I’d definitely recommend.

I had the pleasure to try the food and drinks at Strong Water Tavern in December 2022. Kathleen is a very attentive server and made great suggestions. Tapas were portioned well. The Ropa Vieja was very flavorful and I had it with a side of coconut rice. The Grilled Octopus was delightful; It was cooked perfectly! And the Banana Bread Pudding dessert was huge! It was served with a delicious rum raisin ice cream. The vibe was relaxing. I saw families dine here as well as some conference goers get a drink or a bite or two. There is indoor and outdoor seating. If you plan to stay at Sapphire Falls or plan to visit Universal Resorts, definitely consider Strong Water Tavern.
