Sydney Brewery Alexandria

Sydney Brewery Alexandria brings brewing, food and a substantial event space together in the heart of Alexandria. At Building 2/160 Bourke Rd, the venue has an industrial-style interior shaped by exposed brick, steel details and street art, reflecting the character of the surrounding area. There is seating for up to 350 guests, so it can work for a casual catch-up as easily as a larger gathering, with an all-weather pergola adding an outdoor option.

Beer is central to the experience, with Sydney Brewery’s craft range brewed on site. The selection includes crisp lagers and experimental small-batch beers, and the venue gives guests the chance to watch the brewers at work. The site also lists wines and a range of Sydney Brewery ciders, including the Sydney Cider Lemon Twist, a gluten-free cider made with Australian-grown fruit. For anyone interested in the brewing process as well as the drink itself, the expanded Alexandria venue offers a more behind-the-scenes feel than a standard bar.

Food is overseen by Head Chef Chris Reynolds and is described as focusing on fresh, high-quality ingredients. The kitchen’s offering includes house-made pasta, premium burgers and share plates, making the menu suitable for both a full meal and a group ordering to the table. The combination of substantial seating, flexible spaces and food designed for sharing makes the venue particularly well suited to group lunches, team events, birthdays and other celebrations. Private hire is available for groups of 350 or more, with the team offering tailored function arrangements.

There is also a regular Friday-night programme listed on the venue’s site, with DJ Big Deck from 6pm, a meat raffle, drink-linked raffle tickets and happy hour from 5–7pm. It gives the venue a livelier end-of-week setting, while the broad bar and kitchen hours make it suitable for daytime visits and evening sessions throughout the week. For a quieter plan, visitors can choose a non-event day and settle in with a meal and a beer; for larger groups, the spacious layout and function options are the main draw. Bar hours are listed as midday to late evening from Monday to Thursday, later on Friday and Saturday, and shorter on Sunday, with kitchen hours varying by day.
