probably still the best craft beer bar in melbourne.
great beer lineup, good vibe, tasty eats, friendly staff.
Great place for beer lovers. Good selection on tap, good music, laid back ambience.
The Local Taphouse was recommended.
Excellent service. Great tasting burger. Barman very knowledgeable about the various beers available.
We will be back.
This was a bit hard to get to for us but definitively worth the effort. You walk up the stairs and are confronted by one of those Melbourne surprises. Oozing atmosphere. Best thing: the pub food was really good!
This pub is really cool, love it. I came here on a Sunday night and it was really busy, there was trivia downstairs which I didn't realise until I left, what a shame as I would of loved to have joined!
We were sitting upstairs in the beer garden, what a great space it is up there. Lots of seating and really nice and cosy. A great drinks list, however disappointing that the cocktails are not made fresh but pre made and from a bottle.
My friend and I both ordered off the specials list, the petit fillet steak. It was cooked beautifully and tasted so yum with the herb butter. We wanted the sticky date pudding but it had sold out! It looked so good as we could see it arriving at other tables around us. We will definitely need to come back for that, it looked so good.
I definitely rate this pub, good food and service with a fab ambiance.
If you love your craft beer. This is a place you want to make a stop. MUST actually. As far as I know, one of Melbournes few bars the have a daily rotating craft beer menu. The selection is vast! The atmosphere is great, beautiful terrace upstairs, rusty genuine look. Fried chicken here is AMAZING.. another must when you visit the taphosue.. craft beers + fried chicken does the magic! Thanks guys...
Beautiful place with kind staffs and great atmosphere. Fireplace on the wall is really good in the winter season.
Had southern fried chicken, chicken parmigiana and mac and cheese here, fried chicken was hot, moist and perfectly cooked. sauce was also amazing.
Chicken parma was a bit disappointing.
Mac&cheese was also good. Cheese & creamy. Small portion.
But still they have great selection of various tap beers & also smoking area 😊
Overall, amazing!
We did the Wednesday night steak as it was (Wednesday) 😁. Both really impressed with the food, drinks and service. Goofy was our waitress and she was the best. Thanks Goofy.
Lovely staff who are knowledgeable with their offerings. Food tasty and perfect match with a nice cold beer.
Cosy environment with comfy couches and great location
Beer garden is great in summer, good range of beers and other drinks are reasonably priced. One of the best places to be if you manage to get a table or squeeze in with some new friends.
Everything was amazing! Had the fried chicken, charcuterie board (one of the best I've ever had), duck cassoulet, Brussels sprouts and mac and cheese. Could not fault a thing! Desserts were nice but didn't compare to the mains. Service was friendly and attentive.
So go for the beer and then have the pie special. We have been there a few times now and always amazing array of beers. Warm and inviting atmosphere both upstairs and downstairs. Love love love it.

I came here for a work lunch this past week, and I'm glad for that, or this may not have otherwise been somewhere I'd go to. They seated us upstairs in what can be an open air rooftop, or as in our case, a covered rooftop area with a fireplace. It was cozy and warm despite the awful weather outside.
You use your phone to scan for the menu, and go up to the bar to order. The guy said the food might take a while since there was 11 orders coming in all at once, but really, it wasn't that long at all. Mine of course was one of the last (seems to be a recurring theme with me) but the guy was really apologetic and it wasn't a big issue.
The food was delicious and filling. Generous portions for good prices. Everyone loved what they got, and even though it's a really casual, pub type of place, it was all well presented and everything was clean and made for a good lunch. I'd definitely recommend coming here whether it's in summer or winter as they cater for both, and it's in a good location with reasonably good parking. Really enjoyable.
Love the Local. Always a great selection of beers, awesome food specials throughout the week, great atmosphere whether it's sunny or rainy. Staff are knowledgeable and lovely! The home of craft beer in Melbourne and runs a monthly ale masters night if you're in to it. Comedy on Monday's is fantastic as well. Get down there.
Local tap house never disappoints. They have great food and drinks. The staff are very friendly and thanks to them I found my favorite beer :)
There's a free dart place downstairs to have more fun.
If it's close to you, definitely give them a visit. You won't regret.
Brilliant Parma, the chicken was juicy, I liked the ham, and it was the right amount of cheese, sauce and ham. No need for a reservation, parking close by and easy to find, enjoyed the rooftop dining area.
Best place for a bite to eat. the dinner room, has a great feel to it, especially on a cold winters day. If you like to be more amongst it, the terrace is great which also has an extendable roof. Downstairs has open fires and feels like you are in a English pub. I love this place.......oh and the beers of course :)
Tucked away in St Kilda, this place has a great cosy atmosphere up in the rooftop dining area. Sheltered from the wind but open for the sunlight. The roast rotation is great. We went for the pork belly Sunday roast and definitely weren't disappointed. Fast, friendly service with a smile and joke.
As a volunteer support person who arranges outings for seniors, having read the excellent reviews for The Local Taphouse on Google, I arranged a lunch there for a lovely lady and her professional support companion last Thursday. They had a wonderful time and were full of praise - friendly staff; delicious food; cozy enclosed rooftop area; reasonable prices and not being rushed (they spent four relaxed hours there actually). Can't ask for more than that, so I had no hesitation in adding The Local Taphouse to my list of preferred lunch venues in the Glen Eira / Bayside area for future outings. It sounds so inviting, I will pop in there myself soon, probably for one of their comedy nights, which by all reports are top evenings.
