Pork Knuckle (Booking the Friday before only)
A$45.00 per person
Jul 7, 2025 - Jul 14, 2025
Sink your teeth into a true Bavarian classic with a legendary crispy pork knuckle — slow-roasted to perfection until the skin crackles golden and the meat falls off the bone. Served with a generous helping of sauerkraut, gravy, and buttery mashed potatoes and apple sauce, this hearty dish is a celebration of old-world flavour and comfort. Whether you're chasing Oktoberfest vibes or just craving something seriously satisfying, our pork knuckle is a feast worth raising a stein to. This experience comes with a complimentary beverage or tasting paddle of your choice. Needs to be booked by Friday so the chef can properly prepare this delight. Prost!

Well organised for a prematch event. Wallabies v Fiji test game at McDonald Jones Stadium close by. Ideal for a drink and a meal prior to the game. Pizzas great and served in good time despite the large number of patrons.

Great spot. We were there in an exceptionally busy period. Bar service became a bit steady due to the crowd. Food van was great add on.

Booked a table for a meal to celebrate my birthday which was noted on the 6:30 booking. Arrived at 6:20. Noticed it was very busy so we lined up to order our meal immediately. I was in the food line for a good 20 minutes. We shuffled forward to the cash register to order and pay for the meals where we were informed that they were not taking any more food orders. Thirsty Messiahs inability to provide an acceptable level of service was very disappointing!

Ian, It wasn't our best day, operating a brewery next to a 33,000-seat stadium has its challenges. We sent you a message on google to make it up to you. Feel free to reach out. We are now engaging food trucks and prioritising bookings as a result of becoming so popular. We always planned to operate as a brewery with food not a restaurant, but we understand people's expectations are different, so we are shifting to meet patrons' expectation.

definitely need some noise Acoustic Panels on the walls to stop the echo in the place food was good however need more GF options on the menu
Thirsty MessiahResponded on May 17, 2025
Hi Andrew, thanks for the 4 stars. We have acoustic panels and carpet out the front which helps with the bigger crowds. We are still refining the experience we provide and hopefully we can give you a 5-star experience next time.
