Overview
BrewDog Pentridge is unlike any other bar in Melbourne. Housed within the repurposed confines of the old Pentridge Prison in Coburg, this striking venue fuses cutting-edge craft beer culture with 170 years of history, creating a destination drinking experience that’s as memorable as the beers are bold.
Step through the massive bluestone walls and you'll find a sprawling venue with a cavernous interior, lofty ceilings, and original heritage detailing. The design cleverly retains the grit of its prison origins while softening the space with timber finishes, long communal tables, murals, and loads of natural light.
With over 20 taps pouring a rotating lineup of BrewDog's core and seasonal beers—as well as guest brews from local heroes—the bar is a dream for hop lovers. You'll find everything from juicy IPAs to decadent stouts, lagers, and creative limited-edition collaborations. For those less beer-inclined, there’s also a good range of wines, spirits, and no-alcohol options.
The food menu channels elevated pub fare with BrewDog’s signature flair—think loaded burgers, wings, pizzas, and vegan-friendly favourites. It’s hearty, fun, and pairs perfectly with a cold pint in hand.
Outside, the expansive beer garden is a crowd-pleaser. It’s dog-friendly, sun-drenched, and ideal for families, groups, or anyone looking to soak in the Coburg vibe. Events, tap takeovers, and regular community happenings keep the venue buzzing throughout the week.
BrewDog Pentridge is a vibrant new chapter for one of Melbourne’s most storied sites—bringing bold brews, good food, and community spirit to the heart of the north.
