    Felons Brewing is a regional/national beer brand, and this is an incredibly large facility. Near downtown, the buildings follow the riverbank with multiple ferry stops and dedicated elevators from the cliff/bridge top. For beer fans, it's amazing how big this place is. It's a mix of indoor restaurant seating, outdoor seating of various sizes including high chairs along the river with views of the city, traditional tables, giant bean bag chairs, standing areas for games. It's a working brewery too with both a main brewery and barrel aging area. They also have a private event building. They have a number of core beers on, plus limited drafts, and some of their barrel mixing program. They have a well done website for ordering no matter where you are a server will find you bring your food/drinks quickly. They have food too, which looked good but we had already eaten that day. If you're a beer fan, it's one of those places you have to visit. And for people that aren't beer fans, it has something to offer everyone.

    First time down under & I did not want to come back. People were amazing & so is the BEER! Walked & cruised around the Brisbane River and explored art museums. Just being in another country allows you to enhance creativity. Learning about different cultures & lifestyles has always been fascinating to me. Australia is a place. I will never forget!

    Flight - Crisp Lager, Galaxy Haze, Australian Pale Ale, IPA. Crip Lager for the win.

    What a cool place. Right on the river, a ton of seating with some of the best views in Brisbane. Service was very quick and friendly. I enjoy going to breweries and their beer was top notch. If I ever make it back to Brisbane this is for sure a must stop.

    Great atmosphere, ate here twice with our family. Pizza was really good along with the vibes and river views. We really enjoyed eating and hanging out here.

    My first time in Brisbane. We took the city Cats out and stopped in a Felon Brewery. Love that it is right on the water. Beautiful setting to enjoy food and drinks. This place is huge! They have a lot of seating available. Ordered a pizza, bottle of rose and a paddle of beers. You order from your table by using the QR code and you can order your drinks and food right there. It recognizes your table and the servers bring out your food and drinks. Was quick and easy.

    We had the sweetest server, Sabrina. She greeted us as soon as we entered the restaurant. She invited us to sit anywhere we liked, and said she would follow along in a moment with menus. We picked a nice table with a view of the bridge and water. She also asked if we were cold and would like blankets- um yes, I was a bit chilled. I would love the blanket service. What a delightful touch. Now, anytime I dine out, and am a bit chilled, I will think of Sabrina and this nice added touch. Next she asked if we were ready to order drinks. We asked a few questions about some beers on tap, she immediately offered to bring us some tastes to try. When she dropped them off she said no rush, take our time, and she would check in with us in a bit when we looked ready with our drink orders. I mentioned it was my girlfriend's birthday, Sabrina sounded genuinely happy for her wishing her a happy birthday, and saying her first drink was on the house. We then asked Sabrina about her favorite salads, she took her time explaining what she liked, and what food pairings she thought we might like. We way over ordered- but we hadn't eaten all day, and it all sounded so good We wanted the bug pizza. Yummy, so good. It was a bit spicy. My friend said of all the things she ordered, it was her least favorite. This was because everything else was just so good. We tried the 3 salads and the potatoes- just like Sabrina said- the potatoes were delicious- perfect comfort food. They have a great selection of shirts, sweatshirts, hats and such as well. The last time I was here, another friend went crazy buying a ton of gear. I was teasing her she should get a job here... she would be decked out like a full fledged employee. She said she wished she worked here- what a great place to work. I agree- this would be a fun place to work. Everyone we've met here has been delightful Can't wait to come back and try some more pizzas and get all the salads again

    While the atmosphere and scenery is awesome day or night at felons with plenty of entertainment for friends, family and tourists I have to say the food is very sub par. The prices are equal with some of the finer places in Brisbane but the quality is not there. This may not matter once you've had a few of their delicious drinks from their beer ranges and wine lists but if your looking for a good meal you wouldn't be going to felons anyway. I really enjoyed the rest of the night there but I would avoid their chicken wings next time unfortunately. I'd return for a beer and entertainment after a nice dinner elsewhere.

    It's a very famous pub in Brisbane. But the food is not as good as I thought. Food and drink come slowly. And the table is dirty.

    The bar, tables and general setup is great. But alas, this bar is victim of terrible pop art and a…read morelack of uniform consistency of the decor. It feels like this bar is trying to hard to be something that is really is not.. After a tiny search it is revealed that this bar is not only signed to Lion Nathan, but there are rumors of it being owned by them too. The simple fact that they call themselves a brewhouse is the start of the joke.. They don't brew here at all. Nor do they even have anything that could possibly be passed as brewed locally.. They also claim to be a craft beer bar, but as direct contradiction to that they have specials on corona buckets.. The tap list is predominately James Squire with Kosciusko, Hogarden and Kirin. The fridge is predominately average and negligible. We were here on a Tuesday and took advantage of their 2-4-1 Tuesday meals. This was tiny.. Flavoursome, but tiny. It didn't even begin to touch the sides. All of the glass wear is quite different. The beer glasses are an tapered kind of snifter glass (see the image I uploaded). These are a very thin glass, and during the short amount of time we spent there the heat transfer through the thin glass was very obvious. All in all. Another uninteresting local watering hole in the sea of average bars.

    Happened upon this place somewhat accidentally but stopped in for some beers and grub. Nice patio…read moreseating, SUPER FAST WIFI (I was working on a ship so this was a major plus), and good food! We had a burger ( I think it was 10 dollar burger day) that was very good as well as the Navajo frybread, which we mostly ordered because I grew up near a Navajo reservation and was tickled to see this on a menu in Brisbane at a brewery. I wouldn't say that it seemed terribly authentic but I didn't mind it. The food was overall quite good. Had some good draft beers. The prices were reasonable and the staff was friendly. Great way to spend a sunny afternoon.

    I'd been waiting for my next inter-state trip to Queensland to finally come visit this brewery and…read moreI was not disappointed! The brewery is located in an industrial park about 25-30mins drive outside of Brisbane CBD (approx. $50 cab ride or $40 UberX oneway). We were pleasantly surprised to find the brewery buzzing when we arrived, a game of Cornhole underway in the front outdoor area, tables filled with beer paddles & a food truck (Puerto Taco) churning out delicious tacos to make sure we had a stomach lining while we tasted all their delicious beer. The inside bar/brewery/seating area is cozy, tables adorned with lamps made from old ten pin bowling pins, a games area upstairs as well as other board games to master at your tables while you drink. The bar itself has plenty of taps meaning they can have plenty of rotating beers on show and also keep a decent bottle list for dine-in or takeaway too. And of course this leads me to their beer, I was already a fan before I arrived but Bacchus put out some really creative & interesting craft beers, meaning you'll more than likely find something to drink whether you're a beer snob, beer n00b or non-beer drinker (everyone has to try the Lamington Dark Ale, the nose alone will sweep you away to Lamington-land :p).

    I'm a fan of beer. Ok that's a lie. I'm Obsessed with beer and Brews Brother is my de facto temple…read moreof devotion to this delicious alcoholic beverage. Where do I start with this place? Let's describe it first in very concrete terms. It's a DYI brewery with everything you need to brew your own 50L keg of beer. Let me please reiterate this: 50 L of beer. 140 long neck. Brews Brothers provides the malts, sugars, hops, yeasts and even the large vats to cook your desired concoction. Don't have a family recipe? Have no fear. They have a beer menu of literally hundreds of different styles of beer (check the website). My friends and I have brewed several kegs and I've personally enjoyed most the Belgian Tripel and Tokyo Superdry. The former is a dark smooth beer with the consistency of Duvel while the latter is like an Asahi or Kirin. If you've never brewed or bottled beer, the staff is always available to lend a hand throughout the process. They're incredibly helpful and chill even when there are a lot of people in the store. So let's say you don't want to brew 50L but you still want to sample the wide range of beers. What can you do? There are a couple options and yes I've tried them all: - 6 pack variety ($15-20 depending on the types of beer you choose) - 24 pack carton ($30-40 if you bring your own bottles - they tend to have 10-15 different types of beer on type to choose from and you effectively just bottle one of those kegs yourself without having to do the entire brewing process from the start) - ready-made 50L keg ($150-200 for the beer + $50L for keg rental) We did this for a house party and it was well worth it! Honestly I could go on and on about this place but there's no substitute for actually visiting. Grab a couple friends and go! I promise you won't regret it.

    We've all been there before. You decided one summer that you wanted to start making homebrew. You…read moredidn't do something right and your brew got infected, or you didn't add enough sugar when bottling, (or some other problem happened) and you ended up with a whole lot of nasty beer and vowed never to try it again. You should try again because Brews Brothers is here to stop you from messing it up a second time around. Brews Brothers looks like an old office space that's had it's guts ripped out and has been transformed into a brewer's paradise. You've got your brew kettles, brew fridges, and bottling stations set up spick and span for your use. All the brews are 50 litres (144 330ml stubbies), and will set you back anywhere from $150 to $200. Depending on what brew you choose to make, it will take from two weeks up to a month to complete the process and walk out with your 50 litres. You are of course, welcomed to bring in your own recipe and try it out. They've got all the hops, malts, sugars, and grains you need to do whatever you want. The guys are really friendly, they know their beer and they're keen as mustard to get in there and help you put on a brew. You can buy beer from them outright without having to make it yourself too. There's also a space upstairs that they rent out to musos and bands on weekends. It costs $60 per hour (please check website), and you have to buy $150 worth of their beer. The best thing about making your own beer is that you can make a tonne of brew specially designed to your acquired tastes on the cheap that won't give you a hangover because it's preservative and chemical free. You also learn something about science while you're at. How can you argue with that?
