Reviews
Mark Thompson
★★★★★“This establishment is a saviour for craft beer drinkers in the Hawthorn & Auburn area. Eight craft beers on tap, with a fairly regular rotation of brews. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and if not too busy, up for an informed chat. Would I go back? He'll yeah 👍🍺”

★★★★★“Do yourself a favour and drop in. Really friendly and the punters who come here too are really friendly and inclusive. You get the vibe it's locals that come here for a drink that say g'day to each other like they're meeting mates here. Beers are fabulous and the venue supports Victorian Indi Beers. Dog friendly and probably the best dog friendly venue in 40 degrees heat like today. We are inside, dogs laying on concrete floors with the aircon on. Just brill!”

★★★★★“What a great little hidden gem. Love this place. Friendly staff and the owner, Luke is a top bloke. The Sheep has an emphasis on Victorian and local products only. The beer selection is always on rotation and there's always something tasty that you'll like. There's a real community vibe here and you will feel very welcomed and will always find someone interesting to talk to.”

★★★★★“This place is good. Located on Burwood Road its easy to find and parking is easy. Bring ya dogs, yep this is a dog friendly bar. This is a small bar selling all Victorian Beers and Wines. But out the back there is a courtyard and function area. When I was there they had some amazing Hawkers beers on tap, but the taps rotate so be quick! They have some great tap beer and a large range of cans in the fridge. You won't go thirsty lol. They also have a great range of pizzas and some amazing cheese!! I'm looking forward to visiting again. Thanks for the opportunity to visit and collab.”

★★★★★“Such a fantastic, relaxed place to sit back and watch sport/play board games with a wide range of local independent beers. Owner Luke is incredibly friendly and welcoming to all!”
