What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Grünthal Brew is a highly recommended family-friendly venue praised for its delicious pizzas, great craft beer selection, and friendly staff. While many enjoy the 'feed me' or platter options, some find the non-pizza share plates a bit limited and overpriced. Service can be slow during peak times, but the overall atmosphere and experience, especially for families, are consistently positive.
"Amazing spot. Wonderful setting, great facilities. We loved the wine, the gin and the beers. The activities for kids were incredible. The shady surrounds next to the creek were lovely on a hot day. The staff service was beautifully warm and helpful. Our food was really nice too. Could not complain about a single thing."
Kath Angus
"The experience was amazing! Despite the rainy day on Easter Sunday, the drive up to this place was worth it. My group tried the feed me option and we didn’t regret choosing it - we get to try all the amazing classics and best menu they had!
10/10 would recommend going in for a drive near Hanhdorf or trying out some drinks on a brewery with some pizzas on the side! 😋🔥"

"One of the best family friendly places in Adelaide Hills. It’s a micro-brewery offering wine, gin, coffee, cheese flights and amazing pizzas among other food options. Lots of indoor and outdoor options to choose from. You will need a booking though as it’s a very popular place.
For kids, they have this big boat sandpit, a cubby house, cow statue (possible from previous Udder Delights venue) various games and a stream running by at the back of the property.
We have visited here multiple times and have had a great time and great food each time. Each pizza is amazing so it’s difficult to choose which one is the best.
Highly recommend it 👍"
