Huge thank you to Karl and the team for putting on an epic party to celebrate our engagement last weekend, with around 100 guests taking over the place on Sunday afternoon. The food, wine and, most importantly, the beer completely exceeded our expectations - it was all plentiful and absolutely delicious. One of the best bits was the special kids' space that Karl arranged upstairs, where the little ones could play and have a great time, while the parents relaxed downstairs. Nothing was too much trouble and our guests can't stop telling us how much fun they had.
We cannot recommend the Flat Rock Brew Cafe highly enough, so definitely consider it for your next event!
Thanks guys!
Really friendly staff and exceptional beer. Had a pot pie which was delicious with flaky crust of pastry on top of lovely meat. American cheesecake to finish was also excellent. Pride of place has to be the beers though. A truly stupendous English Dark Mild (what is that I hear all you non-poms say) and a cracking strong sour saison. A mecca for fans of cask-conditioned ales. Well done Karl and gang.
Great beer and great staff. Even got my favourite beer on tap for the Christmas party, service can't get better than that!
Great beer selection and great food. A fun place. I'll be back.
A great little joint for beer lovers or a catch up with friends. Great staff and great beers brewed in house. Go. Enjoy. Repeat.
This is a very special craft beer bar, not simply a local, not simply a pub food cafe, not simply a bar but an extraordinary place that deserves attention by anyone who is interested in real beer. Any beer bar that has westvleteren for sale has to be taken seriously. Even if you can't afford the 72$ a bottle, a shared thimbleful is all you need to get a taste of beer nirvana.
Brilliant
Flat Rock brew Cafe is more of a bar than a cafe with local Flat Rock Brews on tap and great selection of crazy beers you've probably not seen before. We grab a booth (book if its peak times) and sample flights of different brews along with odd ones like BACON and MAPLE beer (weird). We miss the Naan bread (not on the menu any more) but the buffalo wings, fries and fish and chips are perfect with a cold beer. We visit often. A local GEM in Naremburn.
I love this place. Exactly what a "home bar" should look like: cozy with friendly and communicative staff, clever and cleverly limited food options that punch above the "pub fare" weight and a tap list that's both conservative and innovative. Beer: several and varied options brewed on-premise coupled with a selection of Aussie craft beers. Always a diverse set in terms of beer styles - on my last visit I had a summer ale, a rye IPA, a saison, a pale ale, a biere de garde and a coconut ale. Bar has a hand pump.
Great place for handcrafted and real ales, many brewed by the owners. Tapas is good and excellent variety. Staff are relaxed, friendly and helpful. Nice ambience.
A small bar/pub that serves their own beers as well as a rotation of various other craft beers. They also serve a few good selection of food (they have Beef Wellington on the menu!). Staff are super nice and very friendly. Great atmosphere, perfect for hanging out.
A quiet little Brew Cafe with the welcome option of seating outside, which is delightful on a warm day. The beer selection is decent, and the food options are good. Come here for a quiet night of conversation and beers.
Live music on a Sunday afternoon is a nice addition.
Great beer but poor food used to be a hallmark of Flat Rock.
I don't know if they reorganized their kitchen or simply got new chefs but the food lately has been much, much, better lately.
The steak that I had tonight was 5/5.
Awesome little microbrewery! Try the tasting paddle if you can't decide what to get. Highly recommend the Stout and they also do a mean steak. Great cosy spot on a Saturday afternoon with friends.
If you like craft beer and are not willing to drink megaswill, then Flat Rock Brew Cafe is pretty much your best bet in the area. There's always a good selection of beers on tap and the fridge often has some interesting (and expensive) beers too.
There are a couple of hand pumps for that authentic pint.
The menu has a fairly standard selection of pub dishes, so you won't go hungry, but this is by no means a gourmet dining destination.
If you are after a few good beers with a standard pub meal to go with them, you'll do fine at Flat Rock.
