TAR BARREL Brewery & Distillery

Great beer, cheery service.
Really enjoyed Leigh Slogget trio.
Pizzas stopped at 8pm.

Cold locally brewed beer, hot wood fire oven cooked pizzas, live music and great atmosphere. The only improvement I would recommend is table service, but other than that, I would highly recommend this place!

Great relaxed industrial feel. Awesome wood fired pizza and great beer. Live music was a big surprise as well on a Sunday afternoon.

I love this place. I have the MPB Hoodie. Now Tar Barrel Brewery. Was still like MPB which I found great. Great trendy bar! Still could order my favorite 'pear & prosciutto pizza's. Industrial look with beer vats on side of bar, dining the other! Beer garden outdoors with Umberallas. A must see/do, enjoy on the Mornington Peninsula. I would give this place more stars if I could.

Amazing place.

Great beer, and awesome that they are open for locals during lockdown while possible.

Make sure to give it a visit once this is all over if your not within the 5kms

Dropped in to get a couple of growler fills. Hoping we all make it through these times and I can enjoy a pint in the bar again.

Awful customer service! Booked a table for 6pm with kids, arrived early and was told they’d made an error and could no longer accommodate me and yet the place was half empty! Attitude and delivery of the message was terrible!

UPDATE, I find it strange that you only took 2 hours to respond to a review but couldn't reply to an email re a booking (and thus business) in over double that time! We tried to call up during the afternoon to book but were directed to email you, which we duly did! Tried again to call and confirm an hour or so later and was again directed to email, there was no point in sending a 2nd email. Thus as there was no 'unable to assist/decline' in either an email or phone response/reply we made our way to you! I would have understood completely if you'd said you were fully booked or at capacity, but to turn up and then be turned away with kids left a very sour taste in the mouth. This was especially galling as there were tables free and we would have stayed for less than an hour anyway.

Sitting outside wasn't an option with kids and an elderly grandparent, the offer of a tour of the brewery was never made. But what grated the most was being told by my wife, kids and father that she (Bre) was basically 'laughing' as we left!

MPB is one of the Peninsulas hidden secrets. Awesome beer and excellent pizza. Weekend live music and a great atmosphere. What more could you ask for?

Friendly staff and good atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. Good selection of beers and spirits with tasty woodfired pizzas. Nice upstairs level with couches and views of the brewery. Highly reccomend for a few beers and pizza to share with friends or family.

You can tell that this place was/is good. Too popular to consider that now, always too overcrowded for staff to manage. Been twice, both times my order didn't come out correctly and way too many children there to enjoy your drink or listen to live music. It has lost its vibe.

Incredible service from young staff behind the bar, in the kitchen, and waiting our table. Top quality beer, and the pizza was great as well. Whole family enjoyed the energy of the place. 69/50 rating from me = 138/100.off the charts.would recommend

This was absolutely worth the visit! Why? Well a paddle of 4 pots (of your choice) was $18, there was live music! And the bar staff were great to chat to! Also the pizza was delicious (took about 20-30mins but they warned us and the time went by fast cause music and general vibe!). Will definitely visit again!

Staff are always so nice!
Pizzas need work but other than that a great place to hang out with friends!
I’m not a beer drinker unlike my friends but they have all raved on about how good the beer is here!

Great little brewery. The pizzas are awesome and well needed because you need to try all the beers!

The staff are knowledgeable about all the beers and are always greet you with a smile despite how crazy busy it gets.

You never have to wait long to be served. Finding a table can be tricky at peak times but if you're willing to share you'll be fine.

There tends to be large groups of families also so if you're looking for a quiet place you won't find it here!

Just love this place after just one visit. St Andrews beer is always a treat and the food was awesome. I thought my fish and chips were great but the wife's burger was positively sublime. Can't wait for the next visit.

I love it here and go often for the tasty beers and yummy pizzas. A winning combination. Staff are always welcoming and is pet and baby friendly.

I have been traveling many kms just to come to this gem. And it was absolutely worth it!

Not only the beer is of superior quality and you can find many varieties of the Mornington Peninsula brand, but also they have the best wood fire oven pizza you can ever find in Australia for under $20!

On Wednesdays and Thursdays you can also purchase a pizza and have a free pot (lager, pale ale or brown)

The staff here is truly committed to provide you with the best experience and the bartender surely knows how to do his job!

I had an amazing time here and I wish I was a local just to visit this beautiful Brewery over and over again!

Cheers guys

To start with let me say I hate this place because it's too far away from my home. Been there once and I just couldn't have enough. The pizza was so good and very well priced also pretty quick service wise. The beers were so good as well with a decent variety for a micro brewery and I'm SO picky when it comes to my beer. Staff were very helpful and I didn't notice any bad vibes. The place however could be better arranged in regards to the tables but the number of the tables were just about right not too squishy at all. Parking: there are just a few spots available in the front but fortunately for us there were plenty available cross road.
