Boojum and Snark in Isle of Wight

Small brewery doing their stuff in old shop. Definitely worth the visit if you like craft beer

Excellent real ale bar, ales brewed on premises, friendly staff. Entertainment as well.

Fantastic micro brewery hosting a range of community arts projects.

Quirkly little craft beer bar. Shame there was no cask on when we visited. Has a rather "unfinished" look to the interior. Worth a visit.

Great place to visit: phenomenal beers and ciders, and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended!

Craft beer and cider in the High Street, with brilliant knowledge and service whether you drink in or take away. A great addition to Sandown's attractions, commemorating author Lewis Carroll's connection with the seaside town and the building which houses Boojum & Snark.

A cracking craft ale bar with a good range of IPAs, stouts, pilsners etc. Very friendly and welcoming staff. The whole concept is great, a cooperative based on beer and art to help regenerate Sandown High St. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic venue, great beers and great people running the place, super friendly and a highlight to Sandown

Boojums offers the best selection of craft beers on the island consisting of both guest and in-house brews. It's friendly, comfortable and regularly hosts quizzes, art events and Dungeons & Dragons nights. A great addition to Sandowns high street and the island as a whole.

Beautiful place run by a lovely couple. Dog friendly and offers a community place for the locals too. The beer brewed here was very tasty , smooth and delicious. Lewis Carol used to live across the road!

Last weekend I visited Boojum and Snark for the first, but not the last time. What a gem of a place. Really friendly, knowledgable staff, great selection of beers and wines and a tremendous atmosphere. This must be the jewel in Sandown’s crown. So nice to see someone getting everything right. I will return!

Great micro brewery/bar. Friendly atmosphere, wonderful quirky interesting place to while away a few hours. Excellent, knowledgeable service. Well worth a visit, not to be missed.

The beer offered at this establishment can be described as satisfactory but lacks any standout qualities that would make it particularly memorable. However, the real disappointment lies in the service provided by the staff. During our visit, we observed that they appeared quite disinterested and were often preoccupied with their phones rather than attending to their duties. For instance, there was a delivery driver unloading kegs of beer, and yet none of the staff offered to lend a hand or provide assistance. They simply watched, glued to their phones, displaying a lack of initiative and motivation. This level of complacency suggests a concerning lack of enthusiasm and dedication, which may very well lead to the downfall of this establishment in the near future.

Wow! A micro brewery and a bar 😁 Tracy was wonderful and welcoming and needless to say the range of ales was a delight 😍🌀🌷🌀

I have given stars to food which means ale 😁 Have been in a few times after walking down from Culver Down, particularly enjoyed the sours... I hope your business continues to do well. Thank you 😊

Very nice place. Great atmosphere and nice beers. The owner was very friendly and helpful.

This great little taproom is absolutely worth a visit - the lady we spoke to was really lovely and talked us through all of the beers available and took plenty of time with us to find something that suited our tastes. Was a shame we weren’t staying closer by so we could sample a few more but were able to take a few away based on her recommendations also. Thank you!

Great craft beers and cider. Friendly, knowledgeable staff.

What a great place. They sell lovely craft beer and wine in a very cool establishment. Lots of local art has also been displayed to make this a great place to hang out. The staff were ultra friendly and helpful. Which is a good thing as there's a great choice on the menu. For all you guys on a trip to Sandown on the Isle of Wight I recommend that you pay Boojum and Snark a visit.

Lovely lovely lovely. Amazing selection of beers. The ale tasting board is the one to go for. Friendly bar staff as well :)

Excellent craft beer microbrewery and taproom. 6 keg lines and stocked fridge with cans. Nice chat with the friendly and knowledgeable co-founder. The beer was excellent. An absolute gem and massively recommend a visit as they deserve to be packed out.

This is a go-to place for us now. It's a really cool, arty place with friendly staff and a niche selection of always-changing beers, ales, stouts, ciders, etc. Great place for a catch up and a game of cards!

My favourite place for co-working. Super friendly space, great NY style coffee, excellent wifi. It's done me and my productivity tonnes of good. A highlight of my working week :-)

Smallest brewery I've visited, a must for craft beer fans

Have popped in for drinks a couple of times this week. Lovely house brewed beers, with a great relaxed vibe. Worth a visit if you like craft beers.

fantastic micro-brewery- the best beer on the island! Particularly loved the rhubarb sour and black IPA. Tracey was charming and knowledgable, and kindly gave us a lovely mini tour of the brewing kit and the extensive collection of old bottled beers. I'm sorry we didnt stay longer but will come back next time we visit IOW.

Rhubarb sour ale was absolutely the best! Small, cozy place with good choice of beer

Absolutely excellent venue, well worth seeking out. Tracey is very chatty, helpful and interesting, whilst the head brewer (sorry didn't catch your name) certainly knows his way around a brew kit - a great selection of beers on tap - particularly the black I.P.A. Look forward to returning next time I'm on the island.

A great bar/taproom with lovely friendly staff who have a good knowledge of the beers and the local area. I thoroughly recommend checking them out when you can. They also have art installations, which is a good way to spend time with your friends and a few beers. I have no doubt we will be back next year (or sooner).

Satisfactory highly recommend you above all peace of mind

Great little place good ciders and ales

Very pleased to have tried this place. Unexpectedly now does some cask ales alongside the keykeg beers. A good range, excellent quality and a lovely welcome. Recommended.

A friendly micro brewery with good ales. I am not allowed alcohol so missed tasting the in-house offerings, although my family rated them highly. I enjoyed the imported non-alcoholic beer which treated like the real thing.

Good beers. The gose was refreshing.

We read about the local cheese and local ale festival @ Boojam & Snark so booked a table and went along on Friday It was our first visit to this wonderful craft ale bar. We had a very warm welcome and had a short talk through the ales and cheese on offer We decided to order two paddles of 1/3 pints , of six real ales from 3 breweries . We also had a cheeseboard each , showcasing six local cheeses from two suppliers The whole combination was delightful Such a wonderful experience and so enjoyable. We then decided to have a final pint of barista stout and Smoky Mountain Indian pale ale. Superb condition and served in their bespoke beautiful beer glasses The selection of crackers and home-made chutney complimented the cheeseboard perfectly & the background music was spot on What a great place ! Friendly staff , interesting artefacts & wall art on display, as well as a small photography exhibition Boojam and Snark is definitely a place we would recommend to visit. It puts Sandown well and truly on the real ale trail ! Great owners. Great atmosphere. Great place

Top notch vibes and beers. Many thanks and worthy a visit.

Love this place! Me and my husband called in on our way to dinner and wish we could have spent longer. Excellent local beers, reasonably priced and a friendly atmosphere. The staff were so welcoming and offered samples to help us decide. Sandown, and the Island, have long needed a place like this. Will definitely be back!

A lovely bar. Came here for an event and had a wonderful night. Great staff and really tasty ales brewed on site.

Amazing little bar, brewery, and cultural centre. Owners are amazing! Definitely worth a visit. Love this place xxxx

Excellent craft ale bar in Sandown friendly staff and great choice of ales.

I've been meaning to visit this bar for ages .As far as I'm aware you won't get a better selection of craft beer anywhere else on the island. I was lucky enough to have a chat with the brewer his knowledge is amazing. Just sit back and enjoy the ale 🍺

What a find. This micro brewery is full of quirks and the owners are awesome. The beer is also sensational. Our next visit will be for longer!

I love this bar, there’s a great selection of beer along with a lovely rustic, warm and friendly atmosphere. Julie and Tracy are highly knowledgeable and always push you to taste their products on tap before you try; a great touch! As well as this, they clearly love the local area, focusing on showcasing local artists and holding local events to enrich the lives of the community.

An absolutely brilliant night out! best beers, people and dancing

The best bar in Sandown in my opinion, always greeted with a very warm welcome by Julie & Tracey, always a brilliant selection of unusual beers, ales & ciders both in cans, bottles or on tap some of which are brewed on site

Nice craft beers brewed on the premises.

I felt like to back in the past. Nice people, atmosphere and wide range of crafts beer. We were hungry and we could eat our food. Thanks good people

Highly recommended for beer, art and fun. Boojum is an unexpected gem on Sandown High Street run by friendly and knowledgeable people. Would give way more than 5 stars if Google would allow it!

I struggled with this one. I wish I could have given 4.5 stars. It's a really nice place, please visit and I'll be back but... I want an ale. I like ale, craft beer is great but there's so much more to life than IPA and I honestly feel it's got to the stage that it's limiting the beer scene.

This is mine and my partners favourite place to come and drink when we visit Isle of Wight. We were so happy to find this place as we are craft beer lovers. The ladies are super friendly, they know their stuff about beer and brewing. They have a great selection of fab beers on tap and also in the fridge. Love it! Thank you! 😊

Five stars for the Boojum & Snark team - great beers, lovely atmosphere and cool interior with superb art. The customer service is excellent, very welcoming and always with a great sense of humour. A joy to spend time here.

What an experience. A fantastic find on our holiday. Very welcoming. Friendly staff. A first class micro brewery/ pub.

Fantastic unique Sandown Bay gem. Run by a passionate team, full of art, inspiration, quirkiness and of course, excellent beers!

Congratulations on your second birthday....still remember my first Covid parcel, some great bottles of beer, a B&j glass and a roll of toilet paper. But seriously...great beer, constantly changing changing, home brewed and imported and more, but a GREAT addition to Sandown

A great range of beers, ales, and ciders, plus a micro brewery creating exciting things. A creative, welcoming space, highly knowledgeable staff. A great place to chill out on an afternoon and taste a whole range of beverages. TOP TIP: don't drive! Enjoy the slow ebb of day time drunkeness wash over you, whilst you laugh and chat and learn about beer!. Good alcohol free options too though!

Really lovely place, great beer, good music and knowledgeable host. Definitely want to visit again.

Love this bar. Great craft ales & relaxed atmosphere. Warm & funny owners. Lovely artwork by local artist. You can book a table on FB - recommended if you want to get a table in the window

Fantastic venue, friendly staff and great ales and ciders. Most recommended!!

A cracking little place, a great variety of beers and ciders. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely arts based bar with craft and real ales and lots of other drinks as well. Friendly owners and a very pleasant all round vibe 🙂

Really relaxed atmosphere, great selection of beer. A very pleasant way to spend an evening.

Lovely micro brewery with a great selection of craft beers, ciders and other alcohols. You can get a flight with 1/3 pints to try different ones, definitely recommend. Ladies running this place are lovely, so helpful and welcoming! I enjoyed the artistic installations as well. So happy we found this place on Google Maps on the first day of our holiday, returned a few times and would definitely come again in the future!

Brilliant little craft bar and brewery. Staff (owners) are very friendly and we had a great time!

Again, excellent ales and good times had. Going 3rd time next Friday

Great beer and cider! Lovely atmosphere.

Amazing craft beers surrounded by an interesting collection of modern art.

Beautiful beer 🍺. Lovely owners! Thank you so much for having me

Great place if real ale drinker

Don't be fooled by the exterior, this place is a little gem. The owner was so friendly and knowledgeable! Great choice of beers and a couple of ciders. They do tastings too so you can try a selection. Want a local beer? They brew theirs ON SITE! Doesn't get much local than that! Great atmosphere, would definitely recommend!

Excellent craft beer selection, served by attentive staff in ''quirky'' surroundings reflecting the bars name! I will be back..🍻

Great local craft beer, really friendly atmosphere, definitely worth a visit

Ever-changing selection of craft beer, lager and cider on tap and more interesting choices in can form.

Very nice place, 5 good local (crafty) beers on tap and loads more good ones in the fridge.

This place is like its own tiny little biosphere. By which I mean a tiny little bubble away from the world. The music is phenomenal the service spot on just the perfect place on a Sunday.

Had a fabulous evening at Boojum and Snark. The warmest welcome, tastiest beer and very safe following distancing rules. Well worth visiting. We will be back!

Very friendly and easy place to relax and enjoy the interesting choice of micro brewed drinks on offer.

Love different kinds of ale and cider and quizzes. Love the atmosphere xx

Great choice of ale and cider, right music for real ale bar. Lovely freindly staff.

Really friendly, warm bar with staff that do all they can to help and advise.

Quirky Tap Room for Dedicated Beer & Cider Lovers

Very nice unusual small bar, a little bit different to the usual

Get real ale and craft beers. Very friendly staff. And added bonus of you can takeout the draught beers in cans 👍

Great bar, something different and unique for Sandown. Great selection of craft beers. Lovely service.

Great little micro brewery, craft beer pub and gallery space. The staff were super friendly and the selection of craft beers and ciders was great. Not to mention a friendly atmosphere from the patrons and great decor. The Isle of Wight has long been waiting for a craft beer tap room and I'm happy to say that you can see the real heart and passion put into Boojum and Snark. Also they do take outs of what's on tap, you can get a can made up just for you, a 2 pint carton or even a beer box. Great if you're not staying in Sandown but still want some great beer. I'd highly recommend coming here, I'm sure I'll be down again.

Really really love this bar. Me & my dad went around Christmas time & enjoyed some excellent ales & ciders. So couldn't wait to get back on my next visit this week. It did not disappoint they've improved the decor & the staff were brilliant & obviously the beer & cider was first class. Easiest 5 stars ever

An excellent bar that sells a choice of premium beers, lagers and ciders.

Wow. What an unexpected find on the IOW. Wandering around the (sadly) closed and dilapidated hotels of the area, we stumbled upon this lovely, interesting, and friendly micro bar. Great choice of beers on tap, great glassware, music, and prices! Please please visit if you’re a local or tourist alike.

Lovely original clean and modern bar with micro brewery kitchen on show, stacks of funky art and even greater selection of beers. The Boojum RIPA was our favourite amongst a paddle of refreshing ales. Highly recommend a visit!

Great beer, great service, great place. Brew their own beer in their micro brewery. Recommend you call in for a sample. You won't be disappointed

Really lovely place to spend a few hours. Fantastic beer and welcoming atmosphere. I really like this pub, it's an asset to Sandown.

SIMPLY THE BEST BETTER THAN ALL THE REST

We love Boojum & Snark! They are our go-to for a fantastic array of craft beers, ales, amazing stouts and we're loving the new Seltzers! Tracy and Julie are so lovely and knowledgeable. Definitely worth hopping on the train and getting to Boojum.

A lovely place with a very relaxed atmosphere, lovely beers and very friendly staff

A great new years eve. Saw in the new year in Moscow and Helsinki. Cracking beers to.

Fabulous friendly microbrewery with a wonderful atmosphere and welcoming staff
