ISLAND RESTAURANT GROUP
At Island Restaurant Group, our reputation and history may encourage you to try us, but our service, food and beverages will make you come back again and again.
Bolero is your quintessential neighborhood bistro. The entrance is tucked in a narrow alleyway just off Front Street in the City of Hamilton, giving the restaurant a sense of secrecy, a place that ‘only the locals know about’.
Since 2007, Bolero has remained a favorite of the city, a welcoming sanctuary for an eclectic clientele from all walks of life. When it comes to food, though, Bolero thrives by distancing itself from ‘the Bermuda norm’.
Taking inspiration from the ever-prevalent and vibrant upscale dining scene in the UK and Europe, we serve up good, honest food. Simplistic dishes with minimal ingredients and minimal fuss, nothing that you can call pretentious. By understanding the flavor of very simple ingredients and making them work, the various elements in dishes give Bolero diners the experience of excitement, fun, and comfort. Known locally for consistency and with many local accolades, it remains a classic neighborhood brasserie.
Interestingly, Bolero’s genesis goes back to the mid-1980’s, when young partners (and current shareholders!) Tom Carr, Marius Dier and Don Dunstan first built the restaurant in this exact space called Loquats. Selling it on, Loquats became Tuscany, and then Bolero. Now is returning full circle back into the IRG family fold.

Our Newest Concept, Brew!
A must-experience quick service hang out for locals and visitors alike, Brew is the newest eatery in Bermuda! This new concept features grab and go bites as well as gourmet breakfast items, hearty salads and toasty sandwiches for all morning, lunch, and evening eating. Brew is a vernacular name Bermudians call each other in friendship; it is also what we do, extensively and tastily! Come and enjoy our exemplary counter service, nitro coffee and fabulous Dockyard Brewing Co. beers, ales, and Bermuda’s only wine bar on tap.
The engine of our cold cellared, glycol chilled, draft coffee, beer and wine system is a state-of-the-art nitrogen generator from the minds of NASA scientists.
Nitrogen, being an inert gas, is the best propellant for beer and ales to ensure they stays fresh, lively and carbonated. For wine it means that no oxidation occurs; ensuring the last glass from the keg tastes identical to the first. And for cold brew coffee? Nitrogen make it smooth, creamy and balances acidity.
Having a few drinks at BREW literally is rocket science.

Hog Penny, Bermuda’s most storied and historic pub
Does it sound familiar? It should, as we were highlighted on the Food Network when Rachel Ray visited and tried our spectacular Chicken Bhuna Masala Curry!
Not only is the Hog Penny Hamilton’s oldest pub, it’s also one of the most authentic and historied pubs on the entire island. Featuring classic pub fare perfected over decades; including pub pies, succulent steaks and classic hearty comfort food, the Hog Penny continues to be a favorite casual dining spot in Bermuda.
The original inspiration for the Cheers Pub in Boston (the old Bull and Finch), the Hog Penny has hosted princes and paupers, entertainment icons and sing along pub crawlers for generations, and will continue to be a must visit authentic, historic and vintage eatery.
Dockyard’s most popular and must visit spots, the Frog and Onion Pub
Opened in 1992 by a Bermudian (the Onion) and a Frenchman (the Frog), the Frog & Onion Pub is Bermuda’s most popular historic hangout in the Royal Naval Dockyard. This energetic and remarkable pub is Bermuda's most authentic, yet unique restaurant. Located in the original Royal Navy's Victualling Yard, in a mid-18th-century Cooperage, The Frog & Onion Pub is a short leisurely walk from King's and Heritage Wharfs, as well as the ferry dock.
The expansive menu features a section of traditional English style pub food, tasty Bermuda-centric entrees, and fresh seafood, appealing to all appetites.
We have four indoor dining areas and two outdoor patios. Step inside to visit the Coopers Room featuring our famous, giant stone fireplace as its centerpiece. The Admiral's Room is a great place to host a small event or private dining experience for both personal and professional needs. Presided over by an authentic 250 year old ship's figurehead (Admiral Abernathy), the Admiral's Room oozes authenticity. Our newly renovated bar and bathrooms add just a touch of newness to our vintage and historic pub, and the footy has never looked better with hi-def TV screens rimming the room. And for the BIG games? We deploy our 12 foot screen to watch your favourite soccer (football to us Bermudians!), ice hockey, basketball, or American football games!
The Frog & Onion can host parties of over two hundred and fifty people inside, and outside in the Victualling Yard, well over five hundred partying people. We want you to bring the whole company, family, or crew and have a rollicking great time at The Frog & Onion Pub!
Each year, Frog and Onion hosts Oktoberfest, an event not to be missed. Featuring the hottest oompah band rocking a giant tent in the Victualling Yard, this truly is the next best thing to being in Munich itself.
