Our Croydon Taphouse is open to the public five days a week from Wednesday to Sunday. Enjoy a range of core and limited Dainton releases, as well as a locally-sourced cider, all expertly poured from our 14 custom taps.
We've got a great selection of local wines and spirits, as well as a food menu that includes mouth-watering burgers and delicious share plates.

We've always got something exciting happening, from weekly trivia nights to limited edition beer releases.
Please note although there is some cover in the Beer Garden, if there is rain we will do our best to move you inside but we can't guarantee a table, also the tables for 2 are barrel tables with no cover.

**Please note our kitchen closes at 7:30pm on Sundays**

    My favourite place to eat and drink. Properly smoked food at a fair price. A great menu with plenty of variety that is always improving. Same goes for beverage choices too, always something for everyone including house staples and newest varieties and not just I.P.As. Very friendly staff that care to make sure you enjoy yourself. Plenty of venue envents and menu specials such as trivia and live music every week too.

    Awesome atmosphere, Saturday night singer fantastic and food tasted ok however that's where it ends. Small meals with big price tags, mocktail was lukewarm, chips where crumby and over done. For someone who is not tech savvy it was quite hard to order as it had to be done via a QR code and the menus didn't match.

    Good food, on the premium side of prices but that's the going rate these days, although the desserts and burgers are great value. Terrific selection of beers. Music a bit loud, made conversation difficult.
