Venom Brewing Taproom - Melbourne

2026-03-31

Address: 19 Little Bourke St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

Pouring from: 10 kegs

We drank: their Pale Ale and Golden Ale

Impressively sized central bar (that I liked, but TBW didn't) with an odd style surrounding it. Something like a 90s hotel reception with almost art deco walls, kinda weird booth-y seating surrounding the one room.

Beer was served in pints which was great - hard to find this side of the world. The beers we had were very clean tasting. Alright price too. Pretty happy overall with the beer.

Lots of classic American music playing: The Doors, America, that sort of thing. Shame there wasn't more variety. The single TV had highlights of Deal or No Deal with the guy from Disturbed. Very odd. Very distracting (even though the sound was off). Very bad.

Food looked good but we didn't try any.
