Look, like a lot of the other breweries about the place, this one was rather nice, it was just a shame that when I went to buy some takeaway, they didn't happen to offer the option of mixing and matching. Still, as a brewery, it wasn't bad, and it is signed pretty well, so it can be easily spotted as well (namely because it happens to be next to a pub). Yeah, the beers were cool, and the service was fine, it just didn't stand out in the way that the other ones had.

My time here was so much fun and meeting Pat the brewer, owner and all round great guy was the highlight of a fantastic day. I already was familiar with a few of Willie's brews as an inner west local being out & about you get to find quite a few hotels stocking great quality Beer like Willie's range. The atmosphere was light and fun, smiles all round and a sense of happiness in the air.

Weekends would be highly recommended ...... and a side note ..... extensions to outside areas ...... new eatery and new accommodation are on the drawing board ..... coming soon ...... and very much something to look forward to.

This nice breezy open pub is really quite nice and a place I would spend more time. The staff were so friendly! The chef even came out to the table to assist my friend with ordering gluten free options. I haven't had their beer which I know is odd being that it's a brewery but it just wasn't that sort of afternoon when I visited. Instead we ordered wine and food. The food was a step up from pub food for sure! They had various selections of tacos, fish, burgers, chicken schnitzel, salads, pies, etc. I saw quite a few entrees being served and they all looked fresh and good presentation. My friend tried the tacos and I tried the chicken schnitzel. The schnitzel was a decent size portion, the fries were nice and crisp, the salad was gorgeous with big chunks of spinach and not overly done with the dressing. I will definitely stop in again. Not so touristy spot!!

I was on an 8hr layover in Sydney on my way to Perth and decided to venture out to Manly via the harbor water taxi. It was in the middle of a hellacious rainstorm, so the ferry ride was definitely "lively". 4Pines Brewpub was the closest brewery to the quay, so I made a run for it and was greeted with a nice beer selection (did a flight #natch ), friendly staff, ample seating (w/a view), and respite from the storm. It was a great way to say g'day to beer in Oz!
