Originally an old Cold Stores dating back to 1922, Union Bridge has been sympathetically reconstructed into a warm and intimate destination housing a Brewery, Distillery and Cellar Door.

Union Bridge brings back the best of times gone by, where a smiling bartender serves up everything from a traditional English Style Ordinary Bitter through to award winning Irish Stout. And for those that aren’t the Beer drinker, they also offer a range of traditional alcoholic soda products including our infamous Sarsaparilla, as well as in-house produced Gin, Vodka and soon to be available – Whisky.

The spectacularly appointed Restaurant rounds-out the experience with stunning views of the Cudlee Creek Gorge, and serving an ever-changing range of Tapas style/grazing meals all sourced from local producers.
