Very nice even, if it was a 38 degree celcius day (the poor staff). Parking was no issue. They got us into an airconditioned part thank goodness. Service was great, food was nice although portions seemed to vary greatly. I liked the blood orange beer - especially on such a nice day.

Great IPA paired with BBQ platter hit the spot for our first dinner in thai brewery/ restaurant. The brisket, beef ribs, pork ribs, corn ribs were among the favorite in our group. Jungle juice IPA was right for my taste bud. Easy parking. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Dainton Taphouse is an absolute winner when it comes to laid-back vibes, top-tier beers, and food that hits the spot every single time. Whether you're a craft beer enthusiast or just looking for a great spot to unwind with friends, this place delivers across the board. The beer selection is nothing short of impressive — packed with variety, creativity, and bold flavours. Whether you like your brews hoppy, dark, fruity, or experimental, there’s something on tap to surprise and satisfy. The team clearly puts a lot of passion into the craft, and it shows in every pour. The food here is just as praise-worthy. I’ve been a few times and it’s consistently delicious. The pork ribs are smoky, tender, and fall-off-the-bone good — sticky, rich, and deeply satisfying. The loaded fries are the ultimate comfort food — crispy, indulgent, and perfect to share (or not!). But the true star of my most recent visit? The peanut butter espresso martini. Absolutely divine. It’s creamy, smooth, with just the right punch of espresso and a nutty twist that takes it to the next level. I can safely say it’s my new favourite way to enjoy an espresso martini — it’s inventive, delicious, and dangerously moreish. The venue has a great atmosphere too — relaxed, friendly, and perfect for both casual nights out and weekend sessions. Staff are always welcoming and helpful, which just adds to the experience. This place nails the balance of fun, flavour, and friendliness. Can’t wait to go back.

Came in Saturday for oktoberfest, the festbier was a awesome beer and would be awesome if you guys kept it, or something similar all year round. Had issues with my burger but was fixed with ease, unsure if it was the owner or manager but he did a great job and same with the staff. cheers for a good night!

Excellent place to have food and drinks. Loved the atmosphere with a perfect pub kind of setup. Their food is really delicious and tasty. This was my first time and I did a takeaway order but still I loved the potataco and the meat lover which comes with fries. I would definitely try the other dishes as well. Only problem is getting to the restaurant as there are lots of road work happening so some streets nearby are closed.
