About Watts River Brewing
One of the craft brewing destinations of the Yarra Valley, Watts River Brewing sits in Healesville specialising in pizza cooking and holds a 4.7-star rating across 211 Google reviews. The Yarra Valley craft brewing scene has grown into a genuine alternative to its wine reputation, and venues like this are where you'll see why — small-batch beers, a relaxed taproom, and food that pairs to what's pouring.
Tasting paddles of four to six house beers are the obvious entry point. Most taprooms also serve casual food — pizzas, snacks, sometimes a full menu — and stay open through the afternoon and into the evening. Family-friendly during daytime hours.
The venue is notable for wheelchair access and accessibility features. One recent guest summed it up: "Terrible beer. IPA was basically a cheap larger. Old shed with a couple of TV’s."
Watts River Brewing is open five days a week — typically a Wednesday-to-Sunday pattern that works around the region's weekend visitor surge.
You'll find Watts River Brewing at 7 Hunter Rd, Healesville VIC 3777, Australia. With bookings on 04 9377 6686. And full menu details on the venue's website.
