Back River Brewery

4.8(503 reviews)

About

Back River Brewery serves Hilton Head Island as a pub whose reputation rests on a 4.8 out of 5 average across 503 reviews, one of the strongest showings for a drinking spot in the area. That volume of feedback suggests a loyal following rather than passing trade, and the score has held up across a large number of ratings. Its address at Upper, 402 1st St, Tybee Island, GA 31328 sits well away from the island's resort core, so visitors coming from Sea Pines, Palmetto Dunes or Forest Beach should plan the trip as a deliberate outing. Reaching it from Bluffton or Harbour Town involves a drive, which makes it a choice rather than an incidental stop.

The pub format means drinks are the focus, with a setting that suits groups and casual evenings. Nearby Coligny Beach and Shipyard Plantation sit within the broader Hilton Head area, though the venue itself stands apart from the main tourist strip.

The brewery's own site, http://www.backriverbrewery.com/, carries further detail about the location. Opening the map before setting out helps, given how the address sits relative to the island's main concentrations of visitors.

English is the main language across US islands, so ordering and asking directions pose no difficulty for most travellers. Seafood dominates island menus in this part of the country, with shrimp, oysters and local catch featuring heavily alongside pub fare. Island life in the United States spans a wide range of settings, and each destination keeps its own rhythm of seasons and crowds.
