The Local Taphouse

The verdict

Located in St Kilda East, The Local Taphouse is a neighbourhood tavern that should be at the top of every beer lover's hit list. Boasting a stellar selection of craft brews, it's little wonder The Local was labelled 'best beer bar in the land' by renowned beer journo and author of The Beer Bible, Willie Simpson. The tasty pub grub is cooked – and matched – with what's on tap, so plant yourself in the rooftop beer garden and spend the day (and night) celebrating all things beer.
