Tar Barrel is a well known 'local's corner' on the Mornington Peninsula and named by road builders storing tar barrels during road building through the area.
TAR BARREL Brewery & Distillery has seen Matt Bebe and Andrew Gow reunite to continue producing award winning craft beers at 72 Watt Road Mornington. And now with the introduction of a whiskey and gin distillery it has widened their ability to offer more crafted taste experiences.
The venue will also maintain their belief in 'The Spirit of Local' - a commitment to supporting and sourcing from the Mornington Peninsula community.
Core and specialty beers, produced onsite, are available on tap to enjoy alongside their smoked BBQ and famous wood-fired pizzas. You can also try their crafted spirits - Australian Whiskey, Gin & Vodka, as well as local wines.
Sit back and relax in the beer garden. Dogs on leads always welcomed.
A true Mornington Peninsula experience.
A destination not to be missed.

    Disappointing. Pizzas were tasteless. Have been before and they are usually better. Whiskey wings were delicious. Staff not helpful. Music was great until they shut the door so we couldn’t really hear it from outside. Overall just a bit disappointing but we had a good time.

    Went to Tar Barrel for Father’s Day with family and friends and had a wonderful time. The beer is always great but the new food menu was top quality. Matt was the perfect host and made sure everyone was enjoying the day. I will be going back again and again. Cheers Justin
