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.

Like most of these small breweries they have a great selection of beers, though I do note that this place certainly is quite popular, since it can be difficult to find a seat at times.

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. I recommend trying the tasting paddle of 4 choices to lock in your flavor and after that ...... drink heaps of it !!

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!
