Book NowAbout House of Brews
Thirty taps pouring cold craft pours set the tone at this Surfers Paradise institution. Crisp lagers, hazy pours, and dark stouts rotate constantly alongside custom tasting paddles. Patrons regularly turn up for theatrical cocktail arrivals billowing dry-ice fog under tall spun sugar. The kitchen focuses on communal American feeds—think baking trays heaped with pulled-beef nachos, molten cheese, guacamole, and jalapeños.
- Extensive Draught List: Around 30 rotating taps dispense crisp lagers, juicy hazies, stouts, and limited-run brews, available in custom tasting flights.
- Generous Share Feasts: High-volume sharing boards and baking-tray nachos loaded with pulled beef, melted cheese, and guacamole satisfy hungry tables.
- Theatrical Pours & Energy: Cocktails arrive with dramatic dry-ice fog effects and spun sugar toppings amid a bustling, unpretentious pub atmosphere.

Before you head over
Practical advice on navigating tap selections, feast sizing, and order modifications.
Order a Flight or Ask for Samples First
With over 20 to 30 taps featuring rotating IPAs, sours, and collaborations, ask the bar staff for a small sample glass or order a tasting flight under $20 to explore before committing to a full pint.
Plan to Share the High-Volume Feasts
Sharable platters like the 30 cm by 20 cm baking-tray nachos and the BBQ Grill Board arrive in massive, multi-meat portions, so consider splitting one board across a group rather than ordering individual mains.
Flag Dietary Needs and Allergies Early
Dishes like the crispy salmon incorporate garlic chips and garlic hollandaise by default, but floor staff actively check dietary preferences when taking orders, so declare any allergies upfront.
