    The food was amazing, the pub has different parts to it so you can listen to live music, eat a great meal or sit I. The garden area. Over 20 craft beers on tap. Definitely a fabulous place to go.

    Sunday was packed and the kitchen did a great job keeping up with all the tables. The Gent that served us for lunch was great and friendly. Soooo many delicious beers on tap here and on rotation. Recommend booking in advance so that you dont miss out. Courtyard is awesome on a sunny day.

    The Taphouse is one of our favourite places in Melbourne. It had something for everyone, all of the time. Come for the incredible beer list, stay for the food, ambiance, staff and wines!

    Really enjoyed the steak night special. Very tasty and great value for money. Our excellent and quirky waitress "Goofy" was a gem and so helpful on on the ball. See you again soon.

    The booking was non existent!! Tried many times to confirm the booking with the local tap house and they didn’t have the decency of calling me back with a confirmation via in person, email etc.. I then had to arrange my wife’s birthday lunch somewhere else last minute. Looks like the local tap house is getting complacent and won’t be around long enough if they keep up with this behaviour
