🚨 A little heads up for Saturday…
We’ll be closed to the public from 5pm for a private function.
While you’re wondering where you’re going to get your Saturday night BBQ and b**rs, a lucky bunch of people will have Bad Shepherd all to themselves — eating smoked meats, drinking fresh b**r and generally making very good life choices.
Jealous? You don’t have to be. 😏
You can book your own function at Bad Shepherd too. Birthdays, work parties, celebrations, Christmas parties or just a very good excuse to get everyone together — we’ve got the food, b**r and space sorted.
So, apologies if you were planning on joining us Saturday night… but perhaps take it as inspiration for your next party.
🍺 Open Saturday until 5pm
🍹 Private functions available — get in touch to book yours [email protected]

Apparently it’s National Drink B**r Day.
And who are we to argue with a national day? 🍺
Consider it your civic duty.
$10 pints from our core range from 4pm today — and if you’re bringing the crew, pair them with our $49 Feed the Family platter for a seriously good-value Monday night feed.
Cheap dinner. $10 pints. Nationally sanctioned b**r drinking.*
Doors open 4pm. See you at the bar.
*Not actually sanctioned by anyone. But we’re running with it.

🥩 $30 STEAK NIGHT. EVERY FRIDAY.
This isn’t your average pub steak.
We smoke our steak until medium rare, letting it slowly take on that beautiful smoke and flavour. Then reverse seared to perfection on the grill for that charred, caramelised crust. Smother it all in our red w**e jus and you have steak perfection.
🔥 Reverse seared steak with red w**e jus
🔥 Fries + salad
🍺 AND a Bad Shepherd b**r
The whole lot for $30. Every Friday.
Smoked like BBQ. Finished like a steak. Washed down with a b**r. That’s Friday sorted.

LEMON SQUASH. ALL GROWN UP. 🍋
If you haven't tried our Limoncello Hard Soda, here's the easiest way to describe it:
It's basically alcoholic lemon squash.
Bright, fizzy, zesty and just sweet enough — without that sickly-sweet finish you get from some c***rs and RTDs.
It's low in sugar, seriously refreshing and dangerously easy drinking.
Don't feel like a b**r? Bored of c***r?
We reckon we've got your new drink.
🍋 Bad Shepherd Limoncello Hard Soda
Lemon. Fizz. Booze. Done.
