As you enter the brewhouse mismatched couches and chairs, old electrical wooden spindles for tables and a selection of bar games to keep you entertained greet you. It's laid back, let’s settle in for the long haul type atmosphere, means you will have loads of time to try the huge selection of craft brews on tap. 

Beach dips, ice-cream and lookouts are all covered day tripping from Bundaberg to Elliott Heads. Proposed times are for the early birds, but you can push it back if you are not a morning person. 

Top tipples, ciders, craft beers, spirits, cocktails, mocktails, soft drinks and everything in-between, Bundaberg knows how to create a good brew and bring the good times. Here is our go-to list of top spots to whet your whistle and sample some of the best local beverages and enjoy some of the best local drinking secrets.
