Island Brew House, Elizabeth Quay

Facing the Perth skyline sits the recently renovated and restored Florence Hummerston building, now home to the Island Brew House. This quaint, historical venue was moved to the waterfront when Elizabeth Quay was developed in 2018. As the name suggests, the brewery offers outstanding 360-degree vistas of the marina, the City, Kings Park and the Swan River. It’s the perfect place for an after-work sundowner.

From pipe to pint, you can see the six 1200L vats that store their craft brews above the bar, including the Little Island Pale Ale and Craggy Brown Ale. In addition to their brilliant beers, The Island menu showcases seasonally inspired dishes with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating to suit your mood or occasion. It's a great place to take the weight off after a family day out in the city, as The Island hosts a pirate playground to keep the little ones entertained.

Pop in from 5pm to 6pm on weekdays and enjoy happy hour with 50% of all tap beer and wines. Keep an eye on their social media for events and happenings on the beautiful Swan River. Bookings are available to sit and dine in, or walk-in for relaxed service and drinks.

The brewery is open from 11:30am to late, Monday to Friday, and 11am to late on weekends.
