While the porcetta roast looked good and tasted good. I found my piece of meat was half fat and the rind was not crispy.

Brewery

Beechworth

About the restaurant

Bridge Road HQ is situated in a circa 1850s Victorian Gold rush era coach house. This beautiful building has been our home since 2006.

Our venue is famous far and wide not only for its beer and food but a relaxed family-friendly atmosphere.
Our taproom showcases a rotating 20 tap house-brewed line-up featuring core range favourites and limited releases in a wide range of styles to cater for all beer lovers.

Beer's not your thing? We pour a curated selection of wine, gin, and whisky all local to the North East.
The Bridge Road pizzeria takes the Austrian Alps meets Northern Italian influence of co-founder Maria Kraus and puts it through the filter of the Victorian High Country, making for pizzas worthy of a road trip.

We love to celebrate local and seasonal produce where possible, and we’re proud to champion the best in our region.

About the restaurant

The story of St Andrews Beach Brewery dates back to the early 2000’s, when our Co-founder Andrew Purchase built the racetrack on the property for the royal family of Australian horse racing – the Freedman Brothers. When the property became available in 2015, Andrew and Michael Freedman saw an opportunity that was too good to miss. With the infrastructure in place and with a story like no other, Andrew, Michael and their passionate team of co-owners set about turning the former stables into a truly unique brewery.

Before you book a stable in our one of a kind refurbished stables, please note the following;
Stable bookings can seat groups from 5-36 and for a maximum of 3 hours.

If you are unable to book at your preferred time all of our reserved seating is booked.

We leave tables unreserved in our beer garden and parts of inside for groups of less than 5 people and walk-ins.

If you're wanting to make a reservation for 36+ people, please visit our webpage.

Great atmosphere (the horse memorabilia was in my wheelhouse). The food and drinks were A1 and the service was really good. Heaps of people there, but wasn’t loud or crowded. Can highly recommend a beer, food or a session there at any time.

Fantastic food and service! We had a large table and food came out quickly and was extremely tasty. We had pizzas, fish and chips, parmas and linguini. Margherita cocktail lovely too. A beautiful view over the water and spacious venue. Only downside was it was pretty hot inside with the summer weather.

Barwon Heads

About the restaurant

We Italians like to say that a gesture is worth 1000 words. When our hands aren’t in use, creating or experimenting with canvas and brushes, marble and chisel, pan and pot, we mould air with our fingers. CHE VUOI which translates to ‘what do you want’ is often an involuntary gesture, something we can’t help doing… Like sharing our love for Nonna’s rustic family dishes, fresh homemade pastas, artisan wood fire pizzas and great wines in a simple and relaxed atmosphere. We would be humbled to see you come as a guest and leave as a friend. Ciao & Buon Appetito…
