In bars $4-$12 generally but the average is about $7. If you are staying at Sapphire Beach I recommend buying two cases of Banks from Massy Stores Rendevous. They will be about $42 plus bottle return of $0.20 BBD each. Brands like 10 Saints and Brew House will be more expensive.

Beer prices in Barbados vary significantly depending on whether you are drinking the local brew or imported brands. The national beer, Banks, is quite affordable, especially if purchased at a local "rum shop" or a supermarket, where a bottle can cost as little as $2.00 to $3.00 USD. In tourist-heavy areas like the St. Lawrence Gap or at high-end beach resorts, the price for a Banks beer will jump to around $5.00 to $7.00 USD. Imported beers, such as Heineken, Corona, or American craft beers, are considerably more expensive due to high import duties, often costing $8.00 to $12.00 USD per bottle. In 2026, many visitors find that "Happy Hour" specials are the best way to enjoy beer affordably, with many bars offering "two-for-one" deals on local lagers during sunset. While beer is more expensive in Barbados than in some other Caribbean islands like the Dominican Republic, it remains one of the more accessible alcoholic options compared to imported wines or high-end spirits.
