Basement Brewhouse - Bankstown, New South Wales

Will D.

Been here a number of times now and everytime I come here there is enough new beers for me to try for at least a couple of paddles (4 beers @200ml tasters per paddle).

So I only came here for the drinks and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of beers available on tap - maybe 30 or so? Some beers were brewed in house with lots of guest beers on tap and available in cans (another 10 or so). Great thing is with the free membership you get 10% off the bill - nice! With the paddles you can get 4 different beers to try them out first so you don't have to commit to a whole glass, although they have 3 different glass sizes so you could have a smaller glass if you wish, but let's be honest the pint is the way to go!

Great food and home brewed beers. Inside the busy Bankstown Sports Club. Also a good place to watch a game of NRL with loud passionate Bulldog fans. Fast service and large food portions. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the food and the large variety of beers.

Travel out to Bankstown for the huge venue that is the Bankstown Sports club, and it is an institution in the area. The complex is a hotel, pokies and an amazing array bars and restaurants, you don't need to leave, especially when it's open 24 hours.

On this occasion we went downstairs to the Basement brewery. It is a bar or microbrewery with over 30 beers on tap, specialising in craft beers. From American Pale ales to pilsners or ciders, there's something for every beer lover! You can also see the brew house in action through viewing glass.We got some beer paddles (basement brewhouse pilsner, basement brewhouse pale ale and american pale ale as well as the basement brewhouse sparking ale.) to sample the different beers.

Food wise, this is the kind of place that is totally to go with a big group of friends to enjoy some burgers and fries over a couple of beers. Now, it’s even suitable for the whole family, with kids meals too for only $10.

Between a group of 5, we had a huge selection of the menu offerings. With three adults and 2 kids, this we felt was a good mix.

For starters and shared items, we had the
Mac & Cheese Croquettes $12, Crispy Cauliflower Bites $13, Mozzarella Fries $14
And a box of Sweet Potato Fries $9. So moreish, but you gotta stop early before you get too full for the mains ahead.

We also found the Cheat Day Platter to be a great deal, for only $89 you get any 2 burgers, pork ribs, buffalo wings, shoestring fries, slaw and corn. The burgers select were:
*The Mighty Brewburger (Grilled patty, pulled beef, milk bun, jack cheese, lettuce, beetroot, bacon jam, special sauce)
*Chick ‘N’ Lickin’ (Crispy buttermilk chicken thigh, milk bun, jack cheese, lettuce, chipotle mayo). These were both really good burgers and went perfectly with all the other sides.

One of our dining members went for a hot dog, or “The Big Dawg” to be precise. Smoked frankfurter, milk bun, pickles, bacon jam, mustard, ketchup, crispy onions, chips for $17. The crispy onions were a great addition to this dish.

Throw in a salad for good measure! The Brewhouse Chopped Cobb is nice and fresh and colourful. With Lettuce, tomato, corn, avocado, feta, egg for just $15.

The new kids menu items are great - we opted for the Crispy Fish Fillet Burger, Cheese, Tartare Sauce & Fries $10!

Finished off with the Brownie Sundae which was naughty but so nice! Brownie pieces, salt caramel ice cream, chocolate sauce, toffee popcorn, pretzels) $12.

A large venue with plenty of booths, bar seating and tables and chairs. TVs and Foxtel throughout to watch all your favourite sports.

Get the friends and family together for your next lunch or dinner out together.

Been here, many, many times over the years. One of the better beer places in the Western Area. Stunning taplist that has always something interesting, the in housebrews here are honestly some crackers, and all of them are worth trying out for a thirst cruncher. Food has always been extremely well cooked and plentiful, considering the price. The atmosphere is lively, but not overbearing. The staff have always been friendly. Absolutely nothing wrong with this place, the only beer place in this area worth visiting!

Nothing quite like it around. Has a plethora of different options to drink, with many sizes available, has cosy and comfortable seating and many tv screens, some tables even have a TV attached to them and they look like barrels which adds nicely to the decor and atmosphere. Staff were nice and helpful, definitely worth the visit.

So nice bar! I got Yuzu Nights cocktail and beer paddle. Super fair price and they have many nice corners to sit and free TV in each corner!!! I haven't seen it before and even you can change the channels. Will come back again. I like the mocha milk stout beer the most.

The venue is absolutely a beauty. Great variety of beer. Really enjoyed the brown ale. The burgers looked delicious. I, however, decided on giant fries with various toppings. If I am being honest - they look better than they taste. The meat was really dry.
