The staff were lovely and made the whole afternoon feel special. Highly recommend for a unique and fun outing!

What an amazing place. We (5) were booked in for lunch on Sunday 23 March and had the banquet menu. Fabulous food, great wines and divine cocktails, especially the tea pot! The owner was enthusiastic and explained to us about the bars dated 1800's. The decor was amazing especially the chandeliers. We had a great afternoon and will be back. Special shout out to our waitress Grace. Delightful, eager to take care of us.

Grainery Lane is a standout bar and restaurant that combines a fantastic selection of beers with mouth-watering food in an atmosphere that’s both stylish and inviting. The interior design is truly impressive, with a modern yet cozy vibe that creates the perfect setting for any occasion—whether you’re enjoying a casual meal with friends or celebrating a special event. The space is thoughtfully decorated, with warm lighting, sleek furniture, and tasteful touches that make it feel both trendy and comfortable.

The food at Grainery Lane is absolutely delicious. We had the Triple-Fried Chicken, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside—packed with flavor and perfectly seasoned. The Veggie Green Curry was a highlight too—rich, aromatic, and full of fresh vegetables that balanced the spices beautifully. The Crispy Chicken was another standout dish—crunchy, juicy, and perfectly paired with a flavorful dipping sauce. Each dish was expertly prepared and left us wanting more.

The beer selection is equally impressive, offering a variety of craft brews that cater to different tastes. Whether you prefer hoppy IPAs, smooth lagers, or something a little more experimental, there’s something for everyone.

What really sets Grainery Lane apart, however, is the staff. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, they make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. Their recommendations were spot on, and their enthusiasm for the food and drinks made the experience even more enjoyable.

Overall, Grainery Lane is a must-visit for anyone in search of great food, excellent beer, and a memorable dining experience.

One word.... exemplary!
Everything in this place is superb, from the decor to the wait staff, to the food, to the cocktails. An absolute gem of a find!
We had dinner on a Saturday night and were very lucky to also meet Brian, who gave us a little private tour of the venue and explained the history. Simply perfect.

This saloon-style cocktail bar felt like a journey back in time to the glittering days of the city’s goldrush era, where glitz and glamour filled every corner. With its vintage charm, rich décor, and timeless atmosphere, the place perfectly captured the essence of a bygone era.

We were treated to a truly unforgettable experience while admiring the Christmas decor. The evening flowed effortlessly with free-flowing Grainery Lane Gin cocktails, each sip was a delightful mix of bold flavors and elegance. Paired with an exquisite selection of delectable bites, the pairing elevated the night to new heights.

It wasn’t just about the drinks, it was the entire ambiance that transported us, as if we were part of the city’s golden past, living in the luxury of the present. An evening full of indulgence, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

We had a great night here. We had the 5 course because we didn't feel like having to choose what dishes to order. The food that came out was exceptional. All the food was fresh and tasty. The cocktails were also amazing.
