You can visit any old bar if you’re just looking for great deals on beer – but not many pubs take the time to create a carefully selected and incredible selection of tap beers.
Maybe it’s a micro brewery in Melbourne, or perhaps it’s one of the larger beer boutiques which are popping up with a rotating selection of beers on tap. Whether it’s a pub brewery or a mega bar like Transport, who has the best range of beers on tap around town?
Of course, another way to sample a whole load of tap beers in a short amount of time is to check out a brewery tour – any recommendations for these as well?
Whether it’s a bar specialising in local microbrews or something as specific as beer from Belgium, share your favourite bar with the best range of beer on tap below.

Craft beers are nice but a lottery. I prefer a VB where I know what I’m going to get. But I’ve yet to find a pub with VB on tap. Can anyone tell me where I can find it?
Another big tick for the local taphouse in St Kilda (East). Known simply as ‘the local’, it has a Veritable ‘menu’ of beers. The local Also has Live music, decent menu, and huge balcony with a fireplace. just to be plain cheeky it has an indoor bocce court too. Dammit Im going there now.
Local Taphouse; Beer Deluxe; Deja Vu; and honourable mention to Penny Blue for the hand-pump experience.
The Great Northern, Carlton North. Great range of beer and amazing, knowledgeable staff.
The Local Taphouse, St. Kilda… excellent International range & local boutique/microbrew range, with regular rotating tap specialties.
Mrs Parmas in the CBD and delish parmas too!
The Park Hotel @ Werribee …16 craft beers on tap and around 300 in the fridges – yes it was definitely a surprise but an awesome one!
Little Creatures
Josie Bones on Smith St, or Atticus Finch on Lygon in Brunswick
RIP Lambsgo Bar :(
Another vote for Local Taphouse
+1 for Local Taphouse
Beer Deluxe is a good’n as well
It has to be the Local Taphouse – 20 taps with lots of different styles available
For me it’s the Local Taphouse in St.kilda or True South brewery in Black Rock or 2 Broters Brewery in Moorabbin
Sherlock Holmes, Collins Street. Good range of beers on tap, including unusual beers like Hobgoblin.
