Yes, our bar is situated inside the Barrel Room with ample seating available.
In the cooler months, the Barrel Room is heated, and in summer we have evaporative cooling.
Inside you’ll see the walls lined with all our latest barrel aged beers & spirits as well as our fully operational still for distilling gin & other spirits.
Yes, Boatrocker has a large outdoor Beer Garden out the front of the venue next to where we have a visiting food truck each weekend.
Plenty of seating is available in both fully covered or partially covered areas, and our outdoor awning is fully retractable for when guests want to enjoy the sun.
Outdoor heaters are available as well for cooler evenings and winter months.
We sure are!
We want the Boatrocker Barrel Room to be somewhere parents can feel comfortable bringing their kids when they’re keen to get out.
However, we do not have a dedicated kids' play area, and we request that parents supervise their children at all times and are mindful of the experience of our other patrons.
We also require shoes (for both children and adults) at all times when visiting. During the working week the venue is a fully operational brewery & distillery with industrial equipment on site, and on the weekends becomes a bar which carries with it the possibility of broken glass etc.
Absolutely!
We welcome all well-behaved dogs to the venue – but you may have to endure our staff doting over your pup and hoping to give plenty of pats.
Dogs are allowed in both the outdoor and indoor areas of the venue, but we do request that if your dog makes any mess in the Barrel Room or the Beer Garden, that you will dispose of any waste.
We have water bowls available for our four legged friends to have a drink as well.
We may need to ask you to remove your dog if they are causing a disturbance to any other patrons or dogs.
We do!
We switch things up between offering a very beer-friendly stone baked pizza menu, welcoming awesome local food trucks into the Beer Garden, and setting up special pop-ups restaurants to cater our events.
