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).

Visit the Bench in Cleveland it's a haven for great craft brews and will be served with friendly…read moreand welcoming greetings. If you are not sure what to have why not ask one of the wonderful bar staff for a taste test (chances are it will be one of the owners...for that personal touch). I highly recommend the tasting paddle for an all round tasting experience. The team knows what's good and what works to tempt your palate. You can trust their advice. At the Bench they value quality vs quantity and will have limited edition runs of the best beers around. You'll need to be quick for these. I recommend the Stone and Wood for those who normally like a mainstream drop, this is a great little conversion piece. But for those who want a little more adventure the Mornington "Brown" is a winner (it's my pick anyway...this week) :) Food is available from local restaurants who can deliver to you directly at the Bench and menus are available. Look out for speciality beer and food pairing nights as well for a real treat. So much more in this wonderful venue, like them on Facebook and subscribe to their news and blogs. Hope to see you there soon. Cheers :)

Have been here a few times but today was awful. Took mum here for lunch, as I wasn't that hungry I…read moreordered a kids meal fish n chips. On arrival of our order the waiter has informed me that kids meals are only for kids, nothing is stated on the menu that adults can not order these. What's the problem? Both fish and chips were over cooked, maybe that's why, the kids wouldn't care would they? Poor kids.

In a way it is more like a fancy restaurant, or at least the bistro out the back was, where I decided to go and grab a drink. The service was pretty good though, and the beer selection was okay, though not necessarily all that fantastic. Still, it was a nice pub, and being close to the railway station certainly helped as well.

Okay, this is basically a suburban pub, so I really wasn't expecting all that much. Yet, even…read morethough it is somewhat suburban, it was still rather nice, and the service was pretty good. The beer selection really wasn't all that great, but that was something to be expected. However, it wasn't particularly crowded, especially considering the time of year when I ended up here. In a way, it is still a nice and relaxing pub in which to have a nice beer.

I am quite amazed by the negative reviews of previous customers. Perhaps the management has taken…read morenotice of the comments and seriously lifted their game, or perhaps being a backwoodsie pensioner crow eater I have low expectations, but my experience was amazing. The staff were jovial, chatty and very eager to please. The meals came out expediently well portioned and despite the fact that Coopers was not available, the drinks choices were above our expectations.

I absolutely loved the atmosphere and design of this place; one huge, airy room full of comfortable…read morecouches and tasteful decor with large open windows adjoins an expansive deck overlooking a small lake. I was planning to eat so probably should have chosen a table, but on the overcast day it was impossible to pass up being cosy on one of the couches. I sat down and began reading through the menu. It took me a very long time to decide what to have but eventually I did and proudly walked to the bar to place my order. I am not sure if this is the usual practice but I waited a while for someone to come and take my order before realising that perhaps this was what was expected of me, so either that is the norm or the service was a bit slow that day. When I did place my order the girl informed me that she had forgotten to mention the special; the 200g rump steak with salad and chips was available for just $10. My decision making process and gourmet options went down the drain as I decided I couldn't go past such a bargain. It was very enjoyable sitting, enjoying my food as the wind howled outside and the clouds threatened to pour down. I highly recommend this place, particularly if you're after a nice location and pleasant surroundings.
