Correction (10 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026.
This page sticks to what the pubs’ own sites and AGFG say. It covers four places with outdoor space on their listings: Barbarian Brewing Co. in Kingsville, The Victoria Hotel and Railway Hotel in Yarraville, and Mona Castle Hotel in Seddon.
Only The Victoria Hotel’s site names a beer garden. For the other three, the outdoor detail is an AGFG alfresco dining tag, so treat it as a listing feature and check before you go. Each place was checked against two independent sources.
