  • Great for craft beers
  • Good for groups
  • Neighbourhood gem
Our Croydon Taphouse is open to the public five days a week from Wednesday to Sunday. Enjoy a range of core and limited Dainton releases, as well as a locally-sourced cider, all expertly poured from our 14 custom taps.
We've got a great selection of local wines and spirits, as well as a food menu that includes mouth-watering burgers and delicious share plates.

We've always got something exciting happening, from weekly trivia nights to limited edition beer releases.
Please note although there is some cover in the Beer Garden, if there is rain we will do our best to move you inside but we can't guarantee a table, also the tables for 2 are barrel tables with no cover.

**Please note our kitchen closes at 6pm on Sundays**

    Friendly place, staff nice and food yummy. Music choice a bit loud and not relaxing while having a drink and eating. We had people ranged from 20 yrs to 60 who all agreed.

    We were told only on arrival that it was a set menu yesterday. This was not shown on the website when I made the booking and did push up the price. Entree of potacos was tasty and unique. Portions were generous for the mains platter. The brisket was very salty while the onions rings lacked salt. Pulled pork was delicious as were the sausages (a bit spicy for the kids though) but the ribs’ flavouring was very odd and not enjoyable. Dessert was outstanding. Friendly staff.

    Restaurant was closed. Reservation was made and confirmed. Upon arrival restaurant was closed. Would have been good to be notified rather than have OpenTable confirm my booking

    G'day anon. Sorry to hear this happened to you. As you may have heard, we had to immediately shut doors for over 5 weeks due to some clerical errors. We'd love to see you here again. Please let us know what we can do to amend this. - JB

    Food was good value for money. New menu item - scroll was delicious. The band was enjoyable. A little hard to have a conversation but expected when live music plays. They did take a break and then we could chat. A bit of a wait for staff to greet at front entry but once they came they were delightful and very attentive. Can recommend Red Dragon beer. All together a very pleasant experience. Definitely will go again.

    The Q BBQ that is on offer is a really good menu - and very reasonably priced. And the beers always flow well.
