Local Taphouse

Surry Hills & Darlinghurst


Beer lovers can test their palates against the tasting notes as they work their way through dozens of craft beers at this angular old pub. There are around 20 on tap, rotating regularly, so there's always something new to try. There aren't any views but the little high-sided rooftop is a great spot to catch the breeze.
