About this restaurant

  • Great for craft beers
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
At Malt Shovel, we still remember our first craft beer. A life-changing moment. A world of floral hops. A world of toffee malts. A world of discovery, refreshment and satisfaction. Craft beer was here and things would be the same again.

At Malt Shovel Taphouse Geelong the focus will be on authentic stories and flavours that make craft beer so unique. It will have a changing roster of great beers combined with great people and great food.

    Our service was great. We had a large group that included noisy toddlers and the staff were very patient and accommodating. We brought a birthday cake and it was happily stored in the fridge until needed and they were a huge help when the 3yo 'misplaced' the candles. Very friendly, will definitely return.

    Fantastic food, great setting, really enjoyable dining experience. Had the open lamb souvlaki and have to say the lamb was some of the best Greek style lamb I have ever had, melt in your mouth and extremely tasty. Do yourselves a favour.
