Welcome to Revel Brewing Co Rivermakers, where history and brewing excellence intertwine to create an unforgettable experience for corporate, private, and social events!

Step into our brewery and immerse yourself in the rich heritage of the Commonwealth Acetate of Lime Factory, a historic gem listed on the Queensland Heritage Register. Originally constructed between 1917 and 1920, these buildings hold significant importance due to their association with the war effort and the remarkable achievements of chemist and brewer, Auguste de Bavay.

Auguste de Bavay, a renowned figure in Australia's brewing industry, designed the Acetate of Lime Factory to produce an essential 8% beer during the war. This unique facility played a vital role in Australian self-sufficiency in ammunition manufacture. Recognizing its significance, Auguste de Bavay generously donated the patent to the Commonwealth of Australia and was even awarded the Order of the British Empire by King George V.

The historical journey of the Acetate of Lime Factory didn't end there. From 1943 to 1948, the building served as a Royal Australian Navy base, cementing its place in the nation's military history. Following that, it became a welcoming hostel for British and European immigrants, fostering the multicultural fabric of Australia that thrives today. Later, it housed the renowned Hans Continental Smallgoods business until 2008, leaving the site brimming with stories and memories.

Revel Brewing Co. takes immense pride in preserving this heritage and re-establishing the original brewing purpose within these historic walls. Our Revel Rivermakers Restaurant offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to relish Queensland's remarkable past while enjoying exceptional beer and delightful culinary offerings.

Visited Revel Brewing Co Rivermakers and was immediately taken by its charming location and the vibrant atmosphere. The staff here are incredibly welcoming and go out of their way to ensure you have a great experience. However, despite the higher prices for food and drinks, which I expected to reflect higher quality, I was disappointed with the food served. The dishes lacked flavor and finesse, which was surprising given the premium cost. While the setting is perfect for a relaxing drink by the river, they might need to revisit their menu offerings to match the otherwise excellent ambiance and service.

This venue is seriously so beautiful. Looks the the perfect venue for a wedding or birthday, old brick with wood paneling. 🥰 I had the buffalo chicken wings on Wednesday (wings wednesday). Was great they were one dollar each wing and $2 for the blue cheese sauce. The flavours were on point and heat levels just right. I paired them with The Babyface Grenache Sour Ale (my fav, but limited release). kids eat free Wednesday too.

Went to Revel Brewing Co Rivermakers for a boozy Sunday lunch for Mother’s Day. Really cool place in an awesome location on the Brisbane river. It’s got secluded winery vibes on entry and the place itself is actually a really nice place to be. Food wasn’t too bad, classic pub feed style menu. Wasn’t anything to rave about but generally tasty. Massive selection of beers as you would expect all pretty good. All in all good experience, would recommend.

I rarely bother to review, usually only good reviews, but I felt compelled to in this case. We were rudely spoken to by the manager - didn't get your name but you know who you are - tall guy with the scruffy beard. I'm on my own with my two kids and my 21 month old kid was being a bit loud, intermittently squealing admittedly fairly loudly but not constantly. We were sitting alone at a table inside, none of the other tables occupied at the time and only a few people at the bar waiting to be served. I was trying to stop it but anyone with a kid having a moment knows there's not much you can do. This bloke came up and said, and I quote, "if you can't get your kids to stop screaming maybe you shouldn't bring them to a restaurant". How dare you judge me - I'm guessing you don't have kids. It's not like we took them to a Michelin star restaurant where I'd totally understand that. This is a kid-"friendly" joint - if you expect to only ever have perfectly behaved kids there then maybe check yourself. An overpriced dry cheeseburger later and we were out of there never to return. Mate, maybe you were having a bad day too but you should think about what you say to customers before you say it. Never been spoken to like that before in an establishment. Also, the prices on the menu at the venue differ from the menu online - that's false advertising.

Revel Brewing is located within the modern and exciting ‘Rivermakers’ development which looks like a promising installation in this area of Brisbane. The brewery is welcoming and laid out in a spacious manner with plenty of seating available inside and out, although it’s a shame they were unable to capitalise on the river views. Whilst not my favourite beers, Revel definitely brew a decent drop with plenty of options on tap (takeaways also available). Food was enjoyable, usual pub-style cuisine with a few specials to be had. Definitely kid-friendly with a small playground, a kids menu plus kids eat free Monday-Thursday when an adult meal is purchased. Overall, a pleasant experience well worth a look for locals and visitors alike.
