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 7:30pm on Sundays**

Awesome atmosphere, Saturday night singer fantastic and food tasted ok however that's where it ends. Small meals with big price tags, mocktail was lukewarm, chips where crumby and over done. For someone who is not tech savvy it was quite hard to order as it had to be done via a QR code and the menus didn't match.

Good food, on the premium side of prices but that's the going rate these days, although the desserts and burgers are great value. Terrific selection of beers. Music a bit loud, made conversation difficult.

Food and drinks were amazing as was the atmosphere but the service was very slow with queues of up to 15 people at the bar at one stage with only one bar person serving drinks while another washed glasses. Disappointing when you’re paying up to $17 a pint!
