Beer Deluxe Hawthorn

It is believed that the suburb of Hawthorn’s very name was coined during a conversation involving the colony’s first lieutenant-governor Mr. Charles La Trobe, who remarked that the native shrubs in the area resembled delightful Hawthorne bushes. We at Beer Deluxe firmly subscribe to the theory that such discussion could only have taken place over a couple of cold ones, and as a consequence pledge to uphold Hawthorn’s rich beer tradition for years to come…

Once any lingering bar ghosts are exorcised (our grand 19th century building is called ‘The Undertaker’, after all) and the first kegs are tapped in early August, Beer Deluxe remains wholly committed to establishing itself as one of Hawthorn’s most prized licensed venues.

As our name might suggest, beer lovers will always be spoiled for choice, with over 150 different local and imported brews to sample. And with an extensive support cast of refreshing ciders, carefully selected wines and exciting but humble plates of food, we are confident that Beer Deluxe will cater for every taste.

However the heart of the Beer Deluxe experience resides beyond its impossibly appealing fridges, menus and specials boards. Like the London cabbies of old, our friendly and accessible staff come armed with ‘The Knowledge’ to provide you with a memorable service, all in a comfortable and relaxed setting. Indeed, this is a high-level service venue with a difference: it comes with a distinct lack of pretension, from the Draught tap to the after dinner stickies.
