This outpost of Richmond's Sprig & Fern brewery offers
18 brews on tap, from lager through to doppelbock and berry cider. No pokies, no TV, just
decent beer, occasional live music and a pleasant outdoor area. Pizzas can be ordered in.
Look for a second Sprig at 143 Milton St, handy to Founders Park.

281 Trafalgar St; noon-late)
A commendable example of a Mac's Brewbar,
with trademark, quirky Kiwiana fit-out, including a knitted stag's head. Quaff a handle of
ale, dine on honest pub grub (mains $12 to $33) and tap a toe to regular live music, in-
cluding open-mike Mondays. Good afternoon sun and people-watching from streetside
seating.
