Westside Ale Works

Great beer and pizza selection. Thanks guys

Quietly tucked away in the corner of South Melbourne, this hidden gem punches above it’s weight in terms quality and wide variety of crafts beer on tap, brewed in-house including many guest beers on rotation. The head brewer is from California and draws on his origin to create his own unique take on craftsbeer. Located in an industrial warehouse, the setting is quite casual, albeit relaxing and great place to kick back with your mates without having to struggle to talk to someone, which could be problematic at other breweries where it could get too loud and rowdy. Food offering is limited to pizzas and nachos, however is reasonably priced and enough to feed the munchies. (Highly recommend the nachos for sharing, probably one of the best nachos I had at a brewery/pub, properly done with the right amount of toppings, this is coming from someone who have had nacho served with cheap melted cheese over chips many times) If you’re coming during winter, bring a jacket since it could get a bit cold or even better just drink more beer, I find that always work :)

This is going to be my new home! I can’t believe I haven’t been here before. The beers are amazing and they have a great guest tap list. I have been to a lot of craft beer bars in the USA and this has replicated that 100%. There is a big screen for the footy, plenty of games including a dart board! I will be a regular here now

Fantastic range of quality craft beer within an authentic brewery. So nice to appreciate the beer and quality food right next to the brewing vats.

Huge selection of beers. Managed only 2 beer type before I kinda felt "I love you" mode. Hidden in an alley way. Check it out. West Coast American influences.

First time visitor. Excellent and huge selection of 20 local beers across the full range (ales, IPA, NEIPA, Sours etc), plus 10 other beers. The warehouse vibe and friendly staff make this place work. Oh and they do pizza as well. I will be back

Really chill craft brewery on the edge of the CBD. 30 beers on tap, including an incredible 20 of their own beers. The staff are super friendly and the pizzas are delicious.

Amazing what they got crammed into this tight space. Great venue. Huge range of beers, which are a bit hit and miss to be honest.

Great selection of drinks, great food, awesome staff, definitely worth checking out!!

30! Thirty beers on tap. Twenty of their own and another ten from their mates around the world. As an unconventional beer drinker my fave was the Margoserita but there is loads of choice for the beer and non beer drinker.
