Where to Buy Beer in Grand Cayman

Liquor stores, supermarkets, bars and restaurants — here's where to buy beer in Grand Cayman, plus where to find fresh, local 19-81 craft beer island-wide.

Where Beer Is Sold in Grand Cayman

Beer is widely available across Grand Cayman. You'll find it at licensed liquor stores like Jacques Scott, at most supermarkets, and on tap or by the bottle at bars and restaurants island-wide. A few things worth knowing before you shop: the legal drinking age in the Cayman Islands is 18, and retail alcohol sales are not permitted on Sundays — so it pays to stock up by Saturday.

If you'd rather skip the imported lager and drink something fresh and local, Grand Cayman has its own craft brewery: 19-81 Brewing Co., brewing beer and cider in George Town since 2017.
