AT STOMPING GROUND, Our uncompromising
commitment is to brew a wide range of high quality
beers and provide an exceptional beer experience.
Our team is committed to making your event a
success with honest service and quality produce.
Having spent almost a decade running
Australia’s leading beer venues and festival,
we had long dreamt of building our own
independent brewery in the original home
of Australian brewing – and in one of the
world’s great cities.
Part of our commitment to hospitality
involves providing areas for friends and
family to gather, share food, drinks and
company. We have space and options for all
types of functions and events.

THE BEER HALL is open 364 days/
year. We pride ourselves on being a fixture
in the community. As such, we are careful
not to exclude our valued regular guests
and try not to hire out the venue too
much. We still welcome any proposals or
enquiries and handle these on a case by
case basis.
THE FRONT BAR
PAX: 16 - 20 sit down; 30 cocktail
Exclusivity: Not a private area
Cost: No minimum spend
Please note, we do not reserve tables
in the beer garden.
THE BREWERY, though shiny and
beautiful, is highly operational. We rarely
host events in the brewery for safety and
production reasons.
Wedding celebrations
We love love almost as much as we love beer. Please see below for some
FAQ regarding weekday wedding celebrations at Stomping Ground.
Q. CAN WE HOST OUR WEDDING IN THE
BREWERY?
A. The short answer is: no. The brewery itself is not
a safe or conducive place to host a function, as we are
constantly using it for production. We want our guests
to be safe and happy!
Q. CAN WE HOST OUR WEDDING IN THE
BEER HALL?
A. The short answer is: maybe. It is our policy not to
exclusively book out our Beer Garden or Beer Hall
on weekends. This being said, our Private Deck is
available on weekends for groups of 30 - 80 guests.
We also recommend hosting a weekday wedding
reception, in which case we can offer the Beer
Garden in its entirety.
Q. WEEKDAY WEDDINGS? PEOPLE
HAVE THOSE?
A. Sure! If you’re after something local and low-key, a
weekday wedding is a perfect solution. Our Function
& Event Manager will work with you every step of the
way to make sure your event is a perfect reflection of
you as a couple.
Q. WHAT IS THE COST?
A. Minimum spend requirements depend on the day
and time of your celebration, but range from $5000 $10,000 combined food and beverage.
Q. WHAT IS YOUR CAPACITY?
A. The Beer Garden can accommodate 200+ guests.
Q. WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS?
A. Our Beer Garden is equipped with a retractable
“Melbourne-proof ” roof.
Q. ARE OUTSIDE CATERING SERVICES
PERMITTED?
A. Yes, though our kitchen remains in operation all
day, therefore our facilities are not available to outside
caterers.
Q. CAN WE BOOK THE ENTIRE VENUE?
A. No, though the Beer Garden is separated by
dividers, allowing for a private experience.
MENUS
The inclusion of beer
and beer ingredients
is commonplace in
our kitchen. Craft
beer is the hero of our
establishment after all!
Not your thing?
We’ve got you covered
with wine on tap and a
focus on local spirits and
batched cocktails.
