Get $6 schooners with our Ale Trail offer

With their award-winning beers, brash ‘80s branding and pumping multi-level venue, it’s hard to go past Philter (literally). Once an abandoned yoghurt factory, it’s been gorgeously converted into a classy, wood-panelled public bar where you can sip a schooner right by their towering brew tanks.

Grab a paddle of their core range beers and special releases (their flagship XPA is a must) and don’t skip the amazing menu, which stars seriously good fried chicken, burgers, pizzas and share plates. If you’re up for an adventure, ascend to Marrickville Springs, their resort-inspired rooftop bar serving tinnies and signature cocktails like the Frosty Fruit and The Ibis. Next door you’ll find Philter’s new retro sports bar, complete with a pool table, memorabilia and TV screens playing the big games.
