Why it's worth checking out
Grain Store sits on Scott Street in Newcastle East, in the heart of the city near the foreshore. A craft beer bar renowned for its extensive, ever-changing tap list, it's become a destination for beer lovers — the kind of place that showcases a huge range of independent and local brews in a relaxed, welcoming setting.
The appeal is that serious dedication to great beer combined with a buzzing, sociable atmosphere right in central Newcastle. With dozens of taps pouring everything from local craft to interesting one-offs, plus food to match, it's an ideal spot for exploring the best of the brewing scene, whether you're a dedicated enthusiast or just after something different.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 2,000 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. The tap list rotates constantly, and the food offering, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a relaxed drink and a browse of what's pouring, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing what's on tap, ideally something from the region's excellent brewers.
