Our humble Auckland brewery is home to an absolute legend of a brewer, Paddy Molloy, our in-house brew wizard. He has years of experience getting his hands dirty with beer, and his mission with us is to show Auckland that even a small brewery can smash out some big flavours. Join us every Wednesday at 3pm for a Brewery Experience to find out more, or give us a bell anytime to organise private group bookings. Enquire Here.

Walk on in to the new wing of our award-winning brewery in Freemans Bay for a good old fashioned cut or shave. Our barbers pay keen attention to the finer details, adding a personal touch to make sure every hair is in place while you sip at the sweet nectars brewed right next door.

Get involved at Sweat Shop with an honest recipe for a bloody good night. Fresh beer straight from the in-house brewery, taps on rotation, a mouth-watering menu of smoked meats and hearty feasts, a crowd of keen Aucklanders and live music as the backdrop. Check back here every month to see who's on stage next.

Whether you're catching a movie, amusing the little ones with activities or heading to see family in NZ or overseas, make sure you enjoy our free kids meals offers across Auckland - simply purchase any one main meal and get one free kids meal - it's as easy as that.

Week in, week out, The Beat Council delivers a two hour genre mashup spanning 40 years of music hits that translates into a lot of head bopping and foot stomping on the heaving dance floor - a truly unique and entertaining sound unlike any other to be found in Auckland.

Over the years, The Beat Council has built a solid and loyal following that leaves queues out of Sweat Shop's door so, if you want to be sure to catch them in all their glory, make sure you get down to Sweat Shop Brew Kitchen nice and early every Friday from 10pm – midnight.
