At Andrews Beach Brewery at Melbourne Park is an ideal location for pre-show dinner/drinks. It gets very busy, so make sure you book. And when you get there, order straight away! The food is good pub food, and the range of their beers is awesome.

Firstly the good; Food was great, came out so fast! Tacos were beautiful, fish tacos were fresh, birria was great (the sauce was lacking, no spice or kick unfortunately). Corn ribs were super nice and I was overall very impressed with the food. Now the less positive stuff… Unfortunately the service was very very slow, the staff seemed like maybe they were short staffed or something? 2 people to do inside and outside waiting + making drinks, serving food, taking orders is not enough. If it’s short staffed, then it happens but if that’s how much staff they usually have then the owners need to sort it out as that’s not fair on customers or the current staff.
