Had such an amazing time at the beer and cupcake pairing. Very well presented night with the right mix of information and time to enjoy the drinks and cakes, delicious cakes and wonderfully paired beers. I couldn’t quite get through all the beer, it was great having more than a tiny drink which you often get at tastings but as we had four different ones to enjoy maybe a bit less of each beer (3/4 of the volume? Idk) would be good- would definitely still be happy to pay the same price and you would end up with a bit less wastage as I saw several other people that also didn’t finish their beers. Cupcake wise I thought those size ones were great as definitely had enough to get the full experience of tasting them in conjunction with the beers. Also, absolutely loved how you had the takeaway boxes ready and not only made everyone comfortable with taking some of their cakes home but even encouraged people to do so. Overall just an amazing experience, such a great night.

Sunday night - so very quiet. "Ambience" was ourselves and only one other table! Great to see food van operating, but menu was limited. (Quality of what we had was good). Beer very good. Good range. Service from staff excellent (I have been several times, and always good service).

Love the venue. Will be better when food is available (so about scale is meaningless!). My only issue with the ambience is the noise level. The echo is bouncing off the walls and celing. Is it possible to get some sound absorbing 'batts' installed on the walls or ceiling? Loved the service :)

I ordered the pork roll which came with delicious chips. But the roll itself wasn’t editable. I tried to eat it but it was not tasty. It was too dry and had too much herb or Italian seasoning. Left most of the roll. Overall the ambiance and staff were awesome!

Generally it was a reasonable. The beer was good. However two negatives - The $18 margarita served in a teensy tiny glass. Worst value cocktail ever. While it tasted ok it was not very cold and generally disappointing. - The food was ok but the vegie burger was not good. The pattie was like an old style frozen variety which should remain in the '80s.

Had issues with booking system where had to wait 25 mins for a table - but feel this is teething issues on first weekend open. Two out of our three orders were delivered incorrect and slow to respond to this. No food, so can't rate on there. However, great to be open, looking forward to you sorting out any issues and being a raving success.
