It used to be quite a nice place, but their service has gone downhill. They changed their happy hour prices without informing customers and continue to use the old menu, which is misleading. I ordered drinks that were no longer part of the happy hour, and the female staff member who served me didn’t bother to give me a heads-up. To make matters worse, we were asked to leave before the third quarter of the AFL game had even finished—even though they advertise “Footy Night.” What’s the point of going there to watch the game if you’re forced to leave before it ends? Never again.

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.

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.

Nice beer garden atmosphere, decent food/good value, wide arrange of tap beers. The vege burger could use some love/better sauce/a whole halloumi patty. I liked the classic parma a lot tho. Good tomato sauce and the crumb was crispy. The gravy in the brewhouse loaded chips was really nice and the portion very large for a 'snack'. We loved the good taste in music and the range of vb merch. Staff was friendly.
