We’ve dined here several times over the years and have always enjoyed it. The staff is always friendly and welcoming and the food, beer, and wine is usually top notch. Today the staff, beer, and wine were great as usual. We shared the 500 gram pork ribs with chips and salad ($38) which was more than enough for two of us. The rib meat was literally falling off the bone and it and the bbq sauce tasted great. The only hiccup was that the meat was a bit chewy and not as tender as it should have been after slow cooking for several hours. We are glad we had to dine in the covered beer garden because all the indoor tables were booked when we reserved our table. When we walked into the place the music was playing so loudly we could barely converse with the lady who greeted us and we would not have enjoyed dining inside. The music should be turned down. We will definitely go back but hope the music is less loud and the ribs are more tender.

Staff are great. Venue is comfortable. A great local watering hole. But I found the prices to be over the top. Not sure if this is the norm now for boutique breweries but meals were not exceptional. Second time I've been and to be honest I won't be rushing but for lunch. But great for a quick drink.

This is a great brewery serving fantastic beers. The Pilsner is a stand out, given the scarcity of a good Pilsner in Australia. The pizza was not a stand out due to mushy dough, but the friendly and good nature of the staff helped make our experience enjoyable.

I have never left a review before but feel compelled to warn people. We stopped by for a quick family lunch between Mt Buller and Melbourne. DO NOT GO for the schnitzels. They were microwaved from frozen reconstituted chicken-look schnitzels. The weirdest I have ever seen, with fake charring. Unless covered with a topping. The burger was a wafer thin patty, over cooked, in a jumbo stale bread roll with uncooked French fries. The whole experience screamed of a very lazy kitchen, and the quality of the ingredients or lack thereof certainly didn’t represent value for money. It didn’t help there was a baby on a mobile phone with his kids show blaring louder than the loud music. Maybe the pizzas or steaks are a better option but we won’t be back.

This restaurant is arrogant and not set up for customers. It has average pub food and makes it difficult to spend money. There is no bar service and no split bills which makes you wonder what decade they live in, no complaints about staff but there is only table service and with much better service and food in the area I will not be back. I am a local and it has not improved in7 years. You get told there is only table service when bar tenders are obviously bored and then have to wait 10-15 to order a drink, not set up for customer convenience, would not recommend, there is much better service close by. Food is nothing to rave about especially for price. Owners need to check their privilege. Would never recommend.

Awful service from the staff, rude, unwelcoming, would not go back. We arrived and waited for someone to great us and give us a table, everyone ignored us so we picked a table then got told to move even though it didn’t have a reserved sign. Then no service for food or drinks, when the food finally did arrive it was cold…

Turned up at 11.30am with a group of 12 people. Admittedly we did not have a booking but this is the gateway to the Yarra Valley so we stopped in for a drink to wet the whistle. Unfortunately the staff were extremely rude and appeared to be pissed off that we had turned up. From ordering drinks, to receiving the drinks, the staff were rude and we all felt like we were a burden. Had one drink and left because we didn’t feel welcomed at all.

Coldstream Brewery was founded by a group of five mates, This brewery produces beer, cider and you can alsp get a tasty meal. It's a good [lace to stop of if you are touring the Yarra Valley. You can sample the brewery's craft beers with a tasting paddle. Tours of the brewery are offered on Saturday and Sunday.

As everyone else, I miss my holidays. So it was a totally unexpected explosion of flavours from the first to the last bite of Crispy Skin Barramundi. I could have been at any of the top restaurants of Bali and the flavours would not have been any better. Yum. Would give a 10 if I could, for the meal and the instant holiday experience. Compliments to the Chef.

Good tradition pub food and atmosphere. Good service on the night. Reasonable value for money with good range of food, wine and spirits. Love that they support local grower, breweries and distilleries

I called into this local brewery during our stay in the Yarra Valley area to try one of the local brews. I had the Coldstream pale ale pint which was really good. They also offer a variety of local wines, ciders, beers and spirits, as well as meals. We also snacked on the fat rosemary fries which were the nicest and crunchiest fries I have had for some time. The atmosphere of this boutique brewery was also very good.

We sat in the outside area for dinner and it was cold. The heating simply didn't cover everyone and didn't keep you warm. Disappointed with the condition of the toilets at 8.30pm. I thought the pizza was average although some of the toppings like the artichoke were ok. The burger was a fairly plain slab of pattie that I didn’t bother to finish. The wine by the glass selection could easily be broader.

Tried a few local wineries today, all basically ignored or thrown out as quickly as possible (to be honest, this was a first in Yarra Valley). So I suggested to the partner to go back to Coldstream Brewery for consistently reliable food and ciders. Yet again blown away – fish tacos and sliders were incredible. Super quick and friendly service. With so many expensive and overrated lunches in the Yarra Valley, the brewery never lets me down.

Ordered the ribs. Very very impressive. Bone slid right off the meat really easy. Girlfriend had the Parma also very tasty. Food standard was great however sides were very small. Both can with about 10 chips each. Service was a little slow but the quality was good was really good

As we are locals I am not pleased to be writing this unfavorable review. Ordered a pulled pork burger however it unfortunately was a sopping soggy mess! Usually have a tasty meal as we frequent CB. Please keep an eye on the quality of your food guys...

Hi Mark, Im sorry you weren't happy with your meal on this occasion. It saddens me that as a local who has been here before and usually finds our food tasty, you have felt the need to give us a poor review. I would love the oppurtunity to discuss this with you further, if you could please email me directly carly@coldstreambrewery.com.au warm regards, Carly
