The Taproom
Beautiful Beer perfect pizza plants galore

Welcome to The Taproom, old market

The Taproom, Old Market, is a destination venue for beer lovers.

Super-fresh beer, expertly served by our highly trained team. Sweeping, expansive views onto monolithic, gleaming silver fermentation vessels. A huge sun-soaked beer garden, filled with lucious wildflowers, and plenty of shade under our festival-style stretch tent. More houseplants than you can shake a stick at. All this and more are waiting for those in the know on a small industrial estate sandwiched between Old Market and Easton.

A 500-capacity space with the city’s most exciting, diverse events lineup, everyone is invited to the taproom. From brewery tours to pottery workshops, live music to dog life drawing, there’s something for everyone. And it’s not just our events calendar that’s expansive; our drinks menu is a proud showcase of producer excellence. In addition to beers brewed metres from your seat, we serve natural and premium wines, locally made spirits and cider, and a thoughtful selection of alcohol-free and soft drinks.

We also proud to have award-winning pizzas from Pig's Pizza available in our beer garden.

See you at the bar.
