The Goat Bar
We open the brewery to public every Friday evening from 5pm. We have all our beers on tap (including one off specialty batches) and cook rockin’ pizzas. We’re also open Wednesday nights from 5 and hold free brewery tours at 6.30 (no need to book for groups under 4). We’re usually in here brewing Wed nights so it’s a great opportunity to see the process happening and earbash a brewer. We are very push bike friendly here so feel free to bring your two wheeled friend right inside with you. Cnr North & Clark Streets, Richmond. (Pics: Matt Kovacs -thanks Matt!)

Absolutely Jen.
Every wednesday, open from 5pm, tour at 6.30pm. Pizza, beer, goats.
Hey, are you guys open new years eve
Sorry Emma, but we’re not. Our license only allows us to open until midnite – kinda pointless on New Year’s eve, huh?
If we have a group of say 10 or more would we be able to have a tour on a Friday evening or is it Wednesday’s only?
Hey Lauren,
Thanks for the mail. We can only do Wednesday’s at this point. Let us know when you’re coming down – we’ll be ready…
Hi guys,
Do you have gluten free pizza bases available?
Cheers,
Stacey.
Hey Stacey,
The very vague answer is usually. But if you call us a day or two before you come down, we’ll make sure of it.
Cheers,
Dave.
Hey Lauren,
Sorry, only Wednesday’s for tours.
Friday night people are too silly for a tour.
On a Friday night do you have fox sports and sky racing – for the boys?
Trish,
No, no TV. Just beer, pizza, wine, soft drinks etc.
Remember you don’t need TV to have a good time.
How wheelchair accessible is the Goat Bar? Are there ramps for entering and getting around? And is there a wheelchair accessible toilet? What about the brewery tour – does it involve steps?
Thanks
Kent
Hi Kent,
Goat Bar is reasonably wheelchair accessible. There is one step at the front door, and one once you’re inside. The tour includes one other single step.
Hope this helps.
Hope to see you on a tour sometime…
Hi Dave,
I’m looking at having some drinks there this Friday evening and just wanted to check whether you’re open? It will be with around 20 people.
Thanks!
James
Yes,
We’re open – oops late on that one!
Bar’s being renovated at the moment, so its a bit ramshackle – but we’re round, and pumping out beer.
Are U18s permitted if not drinking alcohol?
Are U18s permitted, of course, will not consume your good beer, just softies.
Yes, absolutely. As long as they’re supervised by a parent or guardian, its fine by us and the Liquor Licensing Commission!
Thanks for the mail.
We’re thinking of coming in next Friday 8 July. Is the bar open or is it closed for renovations?
We’re open, nearly finished already. So we’ll be even more open, and more nearly finished on the 8th. If that’s possible. Hope to see you.
Hi,
Just wanted to check if there are vegetarian pizzas available?
Thanks and see you soon
Yes Ma’am.
We have three:
The Panos: Haloumi, Green Olives, Lemon and Rosemary.
Broc ‘n’ Roll: Broccolini, Gorgonzola, Caramelised Onions, Pinenuts & Lemon
and
Vegie Patch: Mushroom, Capsicum, Olives, Onion, Pesto, Tomato & Mozzarella.
Thanks for asking!
Hi, any non-beer drinks for the ladies in the bar?
cheers
My word yes.
Captain’s Creek Organic Sparkling,
2009 Dal Zotto Riesling, Whitecaps Sauv Blanc 2010, Ingram Rd 2010 Chardonnay.
2009 Dal Zotto Sangiovese, Clare Hills 2008 Merlot, Gotham 2009 Shiraz.
Also Basic Vodka and Bakery Hill Single Malt Whisky.
Oh, and softies of course.
Hope to see you later…

Hi There,
I was wondering if you can book out an area of the bar on a Sunday afternoon. I was planning to have some birthday drinks at your bar, bit of a bar tab, order some pizza etc
Also a few of my mates have babies, is there some pram room?
Thanks
Dan
No can do Dan, I’m sorry to say.
We’re only licensed to open to the public on Wednesday and Friday nights from 5pm. Saturdays we do can private functions.
On the positive side, there’s plenty of room for prams…
Cheers,
Goats.
Do you need to make a booking for 15 on a Friday?
No need to book, Sarah.
But it’d be handy if you let us know…what date are you thinking?

We serve wine, sparkles, white spirits and softies as well as beer.
And welcome home!

Hi there, I see you guys now do an apple cider! Good work, please tell me more about this product…any preservatives? Thanks
Hey Rachel,
Yes, all new for us! Its a pure apple cider made from apples sourced in the Yarra Valley, Vic. 5% abv – 100% yummy!
It does have sulphites added to keep it stable. Those apples are feisty.
Hope you enjoy…

Hi guys,

Thanks,
Stephen
Sorry Stephen,

Hello Gentleman
I would like to come to your brewery to try some beer.
I only drink beer out of glasses frosted to exactly -6 degrees. Also, the beer must come out of bottle with a champagne cork in it. Can that be accommodated?
I would also like to bring my 14 children in separate prams. They are not at all well behaved. I assume that is no problem.
PC
Hi,
I’m planning to take my housemate to the Goat Bar for his birthday next Wed 9 May. There’s just 2 of us. Do we need to make a booking? Thanks.
No booking required Coco!
See you soon…
Cheers,
Goats
Sorry for the late reply!
Not sure how to respond!
But yes, of course we can accommodate all of your total treasonable requests.
Badly behaved children are our specialty!
We look forward to serving you, PC.
Cheers,
Goats.

We came here on our trip to Melbourne and were just blown away. The awesome atmosphere of the brewery was fantastic, and the service was incredible – it’s pretty clear to see everyone loves working there. A bloke named Luke was just brilliant, and very helpful.
I don’t usually post reviews, but I can highly recommend this to anyone thinking about it. You wont regret a night here.
Thanks Lee!
You’re welcome anytime.
Cheers,
Goats
Hi guys,

Cheers,
Goats.

Have a group of 12 guys planning on a night at the Goat Bar for Friday 26th October. Is it best we make a booking?
Hey Steve,
I’m sorry, we can’t take bookings – but you’ll be ok.
Maybe be early tho’, we’re having our 15th Birthday celebration that night – might be a busy one!
Cheers,
Goats.
Howdy, Happy Birthday! We’re planning to visit the Goat Bar tomorrow night (Fri 12 Oct) with about 12 people, are we able to reserve a spot or should we just turn up? Cheers

And thanks for the birthday wishes!
Have a great night.
Cheers,
Goats
Hey Guys,
Would like to bring a few friends next Friday to celebrate my birthday, do I need to book to get a place to sit for around 15-20 people?
Cheers,
Gus
Hey Gus,
We can’t take bookings – but you’ll be fine, we’re a pretty big space.
Thanks for letting us know.
Happy birthday!

Hi there,
Just wondering if on Wednesday nights you have pizzas as well or is it just on Friday nights?
Thanks,
Nicole
Hey Nicole,
Yup, pizza on Wednesday too.
Cheers,
Goats.
Just wondering if you’re around tomorrow for me to come talk weddings
Thanks Emma
Hey guys,
I was just wondering if there are any plans to extend the hours of the goat bar at all? Perhaps opening earlier in the day? I’m a big fan of your beers and visiting from interstate next week was very keen on coming in but with trading hours and tours being later makes it difficult to attend. Just a suggestion, keep up the good work!
Hey Tim,
We’d love to open up more, but the various red-tapers have other ideas…
Hopefully one day..!
Cheers,
Goats.
Are you child friendly or is it best to try & leave them at home…
Hey Kirsty,
We’re definitely kid and pram friendly…so bring ‘em along.
Cheers,
Goats.
