Craft Brew House

Birkdale

Updated: Mar 17, 2026

Craft Brew House is a small, craft beer bar in Brisbane’s bayside suburb of Birkdale, with eight rotating brews on tap, bottled beers, fine wines, spirits and classic cocktails like espresso martinis and mojitos.

Sitting in prime position on Birkdale Road (at Aquatic Paradise Shopping Centre), Craft Brew House has a relaxed vibe with an industrial fit-out from epoxy flooring and cement grey walls to adjustable crank tables; with plenty of seating options inside and out.

The food menu consists of tapas dishes such as salt and pepper calamari, vegetarian spring rolls, nachos and loaded chips; along with a selection of stone-baked sourdough pizzas with toppings like classic tomato, smokey BBQ or green pesto. And must-try are the roasted wings, a signature, with house-made rubs including buffalo, BBQ, lemon pepper.

Nice to know - Craft Brew House is dog-friendly.
