Artarmon has just welcomed a fantastic new hotspot for beer lovers, food enthusiasts, and families with the arrival of Depot Brewery in Sydney’s north. This lively 250-seater venue blends freshly brewed beer, an expertly crafted menu, and a relaxed yet engaging setting to cater to all.
Craft Beers and Creative Cocktails
At the heart of Depot Brewery are six towering 3,000-litre fermenters. With the expertise of award-winning brewers Ady Fitter and Ian Roxburgh, visitors can enjoy standout options like a mid-strength “Ultra Crisp” lager, a fruity “Pacific Pale” ale, a bold yet smooth IPA and nine additional taps.
If beer isn’t your drink of choice, the brewery offers wine, and a cocktail menu highlighting house-distilled gin and vodka. Guests can sit back and relax while watching either live sports on large-screen TVs or with their kids.
Culinary Expertise on Display
Depot Brewery’s bistro menu, led by acclaimed Chef Will Baldwin, is designed to excite palates and complement the brewery’s drinks. With over 15 years of culinary experience in Sydney and London, including the award-winning Bopp & Tone, Baldwin brings a creative touch to every dish.
An Inclusive Space with Thoughtful Design
The venue’s design combines industrial design features with modern comforts, thanks to Cradle Design’s creative approach. Its exposed brick walls and open rafters give the space a new life while staying true to its heritage.
True to its inclusive nature, Depot Brewery has gone a step further to make families feel welcome. The venue features a playground where kids can play while adults relax with a craft beer or cocktail.
A Partnership with Buckle Café & Distillery
Depot Brewery sits alongside its sister venue, Buckle Café & Distillery, which offers a more traditional Aussie café experience. While Buckle provides an expansive menu and a day-to-night dining atmosphere, Depot Brewery takes a more casual approach embracing Australian pub culture.
Together, the two venues deliver complementary experiences, making this corner of Artarmon a must-visit destination.
