Beer is soo fresh, I enjoyed those beers on happy hours. Asahi was not available, a bit disappointing. Happy hour is from 4-6pm. Steak was basic with small portion of chips. Will I come back? Yes for the freshest beer on tap.

A great spot for beer lovers! Their tap beer, especially Asahi, is excellent. They offer very generous happy hour prices, and I particularly enjoy their Thursday Steak Night and Friday Parma Night. The service is friendly, although it can be a bit slow at times. One downside is that they occasionally close the venue on short notice to host private functions, which can be inconvenient. I highly recommend calling ahead to confirm before heading over. Overall, still highly recommended!

Thursday Steak night at Carlton Brewhouse 🍻 For $18 you get steak, gravy, fries and a salad. Onion rings were an extra $3. There was also a surf and turf option (prawns) for $8 but they were sold out. Good value for the amount. Taste wise the steak was tougher than I would prefer. Classic pub grub. ♥♥♥¾♡ Overall 3.7/5 Would get again without the onion rings only because 3-4pcs didn’t seem worth it. Service: Lovely staff. We were given a few drink vouchers because of a delay but honestly it wasn’t long at all. Venue: Large open space. Plenty of seating. It was surprisingly quiet. Lots of tvs to watch footy if you’re into it. Nintendo switch on the side.

Loved this place! Great high ceiling, fresh beers on tap, lots of seating space indoor and outdoor. Cheeseburger and chips were top notch.

Pat was an awesome tour guide. He is so passionate and made our afternoon one to remember. Pat and his colleagues had the pub very well organised for tours and hospitality. Food was delicious! Thank you so much! 🍻🍺
