The long weekend starts tonight.
Clock off and come straight here. Parmas are 25% off and there's live music tonight.
Tomorrow is a public holiday and we're open all day: a long lunch, Hoppy Hour from 3 to 6pm, then more live music from 7pm.
Saturday is the big one. Freo and the Lions in the Grand Final, live and loud on every screen, Beer Republic pouring from the tanks and the fire grill going from the first bounce to the final siren.
Grand Final day fills early. Pull up a seat.

Dave Hughes is live on Saturday 3 October. We'll handle the part before it.
Get here early and go into that room fed. Something off the fire grill, beer brewed metres from your glass, tap-poured cocktails from our own distillery. Then it is a short walk to your seat for 8pm.
Show your Dave Hughes ticket at the Tavern before the show and get 20% off your bill.
Tickets are $35 at mantra.hotelstack.ai/dave-hughes.
Pull up a seat. Grab your table through the link in our bio, they will go early for this one.

Finals weekend, fresh board.
Stir fried hokkien noodles tossed through Asian vegetables in a sesame and teriyaki sauce, grilled lamb loin chops with fries and a leafy green salad, and a Nutella and pistachio dessert pizza with banana and vanilla ice cream.
Prelims on every screen and the specials run all week, so you've got time for a second look.

School holidays start Saturday and kids eat free with every adult main, so bring the whole crew in their colours.
Beer Republic pouring from the tanks behind the bar, food off the fire grill, and a room full of people who care about this as much as you do. Usually more. Pull up a seat.

Game day specials. Doors open 10am tomorrow for Rams vs 49ers, and the kitchen has the board sorted.
Prawn and chorizo risotto with tiger prawns and a creamy prawn bisque, grilled barramundi with fries, leafy greens and charred lemon, and a roast beef sandwich stacked with horseradish mayo, Swiss cheese and pickles, fries on the side.
Kickoff 10:35am, game on, breakfast beers pouring from the tanks. The specials run all week, so there is no shame in coming back for round two.
Go on, chuck a sickie and pull up a seat.

Kids eat free every day of the school holidays.
The kids are alright, and so are you. With every adult main at Republic Tavern, kids under 12 eat free, lunch and dinner, from Saturday 19 September right through to Sunday 4 October.
Sixteen days of "I'm bored" is a lot. Fire-grilled food, Hoppy Hour from 3 to 6pm, footy finals on the screens and a table nobody at home has to clean up. That is a lot too.
Pull up a seat. What's day one looking like at your place?
Max two kids meals per adult main. Kids under 12, dine-in. 250 Cooper Street, Epping.

FRESH MERCH HAS LANDED.
A fresh batch of Beer Republic tees and hoodies are in, modelled here by three blokes who were definitely not hired for their modelling. What they lack in runway experience they make up for in pouring you a cold one.
Now the good bit. Grab a tee or hoodie with a 4-pack or a growler fill and take 20% off the lot, right up to and including Father's Day. Dad gets a hoodie he'll live in and beer brewed metres from where you're standing. Sorted.
Tag the dad who'd live in it to win a T-Shirt & branded filled Growler. Winner will be drawn on Friday the 4th of Sept, just in time for Father's Day.
Merch at the bar while it lasts.

Fresh specials on the board this week.
Slow cooked beef ribs in a sticky yakiniku glaze, Republic's loaded fries stacked with grilled chicken, bacon and the holy trinity sauces, and a piña colada panna cotta for anyone who plans dessert first.

Someone in your office has just been put in charge of the Christmas do.
If that someone is you, our condolences. Also, hello.
We're the big one on Cooper St with the brewing tanks behind the bar. Beer brewed here, spirits distilled here, food straight off the fire, and enough room to lose an entire department in.
The Sun Room for a long lunch. The Cellar for your own corner of the bar, right next to the good bottles. The Hop Garden if December behaves itself. Trader if your team would rather sit down and be properly looked after. Or a big table in the main bar and let it turn into whatever it turns into.
Works just as well for the family, the team, or the mates you only properly catch up with in December.
Fair warning: the good dates go quick!
Function pack and our events team are in the bio. Go on, be the hero of the office.

This establishment offers great food and drinks, and is open seven days a week from 12pm. The atmosphere at Beer Republic Tavern is always buzzing with excitement, as seen in their social media posts. They recently launched their Bottomless Brunch, which has been a hit among customers. The Boozy Brunch Launch was hosted by a fabulous diva and was priced at $69 per person. On National Burger & Brisket Day, they offered a delicious slow-braised brisket with spicy slaw, house pickles, American cheese, seeded mustard and fries for only $30 with a Beer Republic Brewery pot. They also have big screens for Saturday night footy and pool tables for those who want to unwind after a long day or kick off a night out with friends. With its laid-back vibes and great offerings, Beer Republic Tavern is the perfect place to break up the workweek or chase away those winter blues.
