the public brewery

came here for lunch after reading the reviews and was underwhelmed by the food. we got the dip，the meat platter，and the chickenburgerand chips， and everything was just really bland and lacking in flavour.

spicy chickenburgerwas great. good food and good beer!

staff were very friendly. look forward to trying more on their menu as i was only able to grab a quick bite to eat.

been here 2 or 3 times now and i'm pretty happy with the place.

not a great amount of vegetarian options, but the 2 dishes i've had have been good.
but then i largely go here to cater to the other half that loves the look of everything on the menu, and loves his beer. i'd be happy nibbling on the very tasty hot chips while he is basically dining at his idea of heaven. 

the jars of chilli nuts for sale are pretty damn tasty to nibble on while waiting for mains to arrive.

i've had both the gnocchi and the falafelburgernow.
the falafelburgerwas very filling with the side of chips. i couldn't finish it.
the gnocchi was nice but i remember still feeling peckish and ordered some chips as well. hardly devastating when i realised how nice the chips were.

last time we went for my partners birthday his whole family had the same thing (brewery cheeseburger) and they all seemed to enjoy it

i'm not a beer person but was tempted by a sample at the bar and ended up liking a japanese style beer of some sort. 

the suburbs have been crying out for places like this for so long.
so pleasing to have a place of this calibre so close to home. 
makes it easy to support local when the local is this good.

brilliant drinking establishment, great atmosphere with stylish decor.
beverages on tap and brewed on site. great variety of brews to choose from.
the dining experience was the only let down, i ordered 'the public
brewry cheese burger' at $20, being a cheeseburgeri was expecting a
beef patty- it was unidentifiable by appearance or taste and i was
overwhelmed by the power of the onion relish. all in all, i shall defiantly return for the friendly service, variety/quality of beers, but i shall try a new menu option.

the worstburgeri have ever had considering the price. i ordered a cheeseburger and chips for $20 which was pricey but i would still happily pay that for a good burger, but what i got was awful. the beef patty was about 2 inches thick and dry and flavourless, the bun was equally dry and had the consistency of a poorly baked cake, there wasn't enough sauce and the promised pickle was nowhere to be seen. the "chips", more like potato crisps, were just as bad, if not worse. for $5 or $10 thisburgerwould have been forgivable, but for $20 i was appalled. won't come back for the food but would go back for the beer. never felt more betrayed by a burger.

pleasantly suprised. came here on a sunday afternoon for a friends birthday. the pub itself has a nice vibe-open fireplace and tall ceilings.
we ordered the ribs and sides $39.00 which we thought was good value as there were 4 decent sized ribs with a side of coleslaw and fries. randomly the ribs were smothered in cold bbq and mayo? bit weird and completely unessesary.
we live in richmond so have le bon ton and other great american style eateries around & these didn't quite compare but for being in the burbs and at that price you can't complain.
other foods we saw/sampled.
kransky which looked good, a companion said the bun was rather hard and for a brioche bun it's not ideal-$17.00 did seem a little steep. the lamb sliders were teeny tiny and at $6 a complete rip off.
roti bread was just that-boring.
fries were gooood.
perhaps a regularburgercould grace the menu sometime soon?
would i rush back, nope but if you're in the area drop by for a casual drink :-)
