    Beer is alright but the food here is awful, neither good quality nor good quantity. Pizza, onion ring or the baffelo chicken all taste awful. I would suggest the owner rethink about their cook.

    Mr Banks Brewery is one of the best watering holes in the south east, with consistent high quality craft beer varieties. Tucked away in the Seaford industrial estate, it's a local hidden gem offering a indoor and outdoor seating areas, large bar and comfort food options. If you're a beer connoisseur of sorts, or simply want a spot to catch up with friends, Mr Banks is for you.

    Boy has this place grown since its humble beginnings. It is now all grown up, a fully fledged craft beer venue with a huge bar, pool table, indoor seating (as well as outdoor seating), food and a groovy atmosphere. Well done. I am very impressed with the upgrades.

    Very funky setting with amazing beers and tasty food. The Berry Sour on tap was an absolute treat. We tried several of the beers, and every single one was a winner.

    I just wanted to say publicly to whoever at Banks brewed “Keepin it Tight Keepin it Loose” - you single-handedly restored my faith in beer as an occasionally transcendental medium. Thank you.

    I regularly travel from Werribee to pick up new beers that they produce. They are my favourite brewery and the food is amazing too. Loved their burger and the Freakshake 2.0 - Java Shake

    I've been a fan of Banks Brewing / Mr Banks Brewing for a number of years now, but find it hard to get their beers as I live interstate. As we were in the area we made an effort to stop by and I'm glad we did. They have a large range of delicious craft beer on tap, mostly core range but also a fair few special brews. The "take away" fridge gives you more variety also. Didn't get to try the food on this occasion as we'd already eaten, but they have a "food truck" style eatery on site. Toilets were a bit dirty and there seemed to be some sort of water leak leading to water on the floor. Will return when we're back in town.

    Delicious beers. Very nice food. Great vibe. Seating inside and out. TV's to watch sport (goooo sports team 🤷‍♀️) Take away beers. Clean loos. I do recommend the Tasty Yellow Treat.

    I feel like these guys brewed all the beers just for me. Matched my palate incredible well do keep that in mind but these beers are just brilliant! I tasted all the beer except the lagers and I was really blown away. I'm a brewer myself and I got a lot of inspiration for my next brews. Well done Banks keep the great beer following

    One of the best brewery experiences I have had, they deliver such great hazy beers that are easy to drink. They produce the ultimate imperial Stouts with Treats being the best imperial stout I have ever had, I hope they will RE-introduce it again soon. The latest Oh! I bake is also an amazing stout. Cannot wait for this great little brewery to have sessions again. The guy behind the bar Ollie is an exceptional bar person and knows his Beers.

    Great beer. Went for a tasting paddle, even though officially it's not on the drinks menu, and was told 4 beers would be around $20 or so. While I was checking out the beers, another bar staff took my order and I just tapped my card as usual. Unfortunately I should have taken notice or grabbed a receipt because later at home I noticed I'd been charged $39.! ... Otherwise, a great 4 beers (Cali IPA, Raspberry Gose, Kolsch, and a Pastry Stout). Edit. Thanks guys for your quick response and concern. As I said, great and very original beers. Five stars!

    After hearing really good things and being a local in the area, I came here on a Saturday night expecting exceptional things. Very sadly I was disappointed. A great selection of beers, but of all the ones I tried, I didn’t think they were great. The staff weren’t friendly, absolutely no atmosphere and a very limited food menu.

    Good beer, friendly staff and good simple food.

    Delicious beers & pizza. 10/10

  • 5/5 Isaac B. 1 year ago on Google
    The pizza and the gf pizza was on point, naked chicken wings definitely best in the area that I've personal had. Beers obviously fantastic along with the bar and kitchen crew. Atmosphere perfect with sport tvs, music at good level, inside and outside heating. Big thumbs up!

    Came in for a few on a Thursday night and some pool, somehow it's empty, the guys were gonna close early (since it was completely dead) but stayed open longer for us to play a few games. Good vibes great space incredible beers. Try the Nintendo beer!

    One of the best vegetarian meals I’ve eaten in a very long time . It wasn’t on the menu but the chef offered to make a vegetarian option. The vegetables were fresh Out of the garden and the presentation was gorgeous. My non vegetarian son thought it was delicious too. The other four guests enjoyed the duck , lamb and chicken dishes. I’d recommend the fabulous warm brownie for dessert as well . A small menu but all executed beautifully . We will definitely be back. I should mention the front of house staff were excellent too .
