the scratch

just a side track on thu. evening when the traffic on coronation dr. deadly! randomly searched from the app. - the place is amazing with the boutique beer selection - the staffs were so amazing, and so helpful - make me a big smile :d thank you.

i like that joint, albeit small, it provides the right dose of relaxation after a stressful day at work.

i have found the love of my life. this may sound like i am exaggerating, but i've never been to a bar before that has made me weak at the knees. put it this way, the first time i went, i went back twice the same day. i've never been anywhere three times in one day.
the scratch: impecable service and the right idea about beer; nothing but independant craft beers and the most amazing keg rotating idea i've ever come across. every time one runs outs, they put a new keg on, so you'll never get bored with the beer! and peanuts, so many beautiful peanuts.
thank you beer overlords, you have answered my prayers.

come for the beers, stay for the beers.. all the staff there are legends for starters, always on the ball and helping you out with choices. the atmosphere is fantastic for a sunday session, or an anyday session really :-). the beers are fantastic with a good range so it will have something for everyone, if you haven't been then you are simply missing out.

one of those good bars, i would love to visit again and again !great little place in milton brisbane for beer. good range of beers, super amicable people and pure joy just being there. most bar of its size wont do as good because of sheer small size of their location, but scratch come out as amongst the bar to hang out at - has a great night time life! i have been to this place during late noon/ early evening time too, just to have a beer and work on laptop - and the aura was just fine for that as well.love this place.

always have an amazing selection of beer. have been here lots of times. the only negative is a few of the staff are arrogant and seem uninterested. seems to be an effort to do their job sometimes. a shame as everything else is great

the scratch bar is probably one of the first places i visited in milton, although i've been here basically at least once a month over the past years i just realized i had yet to review it!

with an amazing beer list, free peanuts, boardgames to play as you wish and a vegan cheese platter it's easily one of the best places for a drink in my opinion.

service is always friendly and the bartenders are quick to find you a drink even when you are not sure about what you would like to drink.

overall would recommend it to anyway looking for a nice place for a drink.

great little spot. wide range of beers, ciders, whiskeys you name it theyve got it in some fancy way shape or form!

service was polite and very helpful. i enjoyed how the staff really tried to get to know my taste buds by giving me multiple taste tests to find the right drink for me.

i didnt order any food from here but the cheese platter that i saw others eating looked delicious! instead, i took full advantage of their byo food policy and ordered at the pizzeria just a few shops up the road. washed this down with a few pints of beer which were of great quality and taste. my friend was drinking the house whiskey and dry of which we both agreed was incredibly smooth.

we were about the leave when we noticed the board games stacked in the corner. so, as full grown adults, we played board games like little kids for a few hours, giggling and laughing.

we both enjoyed the unique, groovy, retro atmosphere, with special liking to the 50s/60s hits that were playing!

the only thing that i could fault about this place was the lack of proper weather protection for those seated outside. this only caused an issue for me because everyone was forced to cram inside the very small bar and it became a little claustrophobic.

despite this, i will definitely be making my way back to the scratch bar sometime soon to soak my tastebuds, sit back in the lounges and listen to some old classic tunes.

cheers - b.

great selection of wonderful, interesting beers, friendly knowledgeable staff, beers on tap change often for seasonal and regular customer variety.
yum yum yum!

a favourite place to visit. the staff are fantastic and the beer selection always changes. the atmosphere is laid back and comfortable, perfect for a catch up with friends. byo food is great, there's a heap of places nearby that will deliver or bring your own.

nice drinks, friendly staff, an array of board games, delicious cheese and decent music. perfect for a relaxed drink with plenty of seating both inside and out.

i truly love this place. great beer, staff and fit out make for a great vibe. love the beer fests, weekend of tartness is always a favourite... sour beer heaven! it's also massively cool that they will do vego not dogs for the same price. love it, love it! the only thing that's annoying is, it's so popular seating can be hard to find and you feel like a dick standing in the walkways... but it doesn't happen that much

pretty good. nice menu. nice place.

the scratch is amazing. the staff know their shit, and you won't find better beers anywhere else!

you can bring your own food, or sometimes they have tasty things cooked up behind the bar - always with sensational vegan options too.

beer-u-ti-ful!. i went there with a group of friends one saturday night. the girl behind the bar was amazing with her service. she offered us the chance to taste the selection of beers and ciders on tap to help us decide. as we tried the small but refined selection she told us where they came from (this weeks was from local breweries around brisbane) and their particular taste. for me, this was a great way to make you feel welcome by spending time with your customers and engaging them in your product.

as its byo food, we ordered pizza from next door and brought in our own boardgames to play. great evening had by all!
it was nice to venture away from the usual west end/cbd/valley area and find a bar that offers more than you think.
