Modus Merewether

A spectacular architecturally designed and state-of-the-art venue, alongside a fully operational award-winning brewery, set in the heart of the beachside suburb of Merewether, Newcastle.

The breathtaking space can house just under 300 people and visitors can enjoy delicious, brewery-fresh Modus beers poured from 36 frosty taps. The beers on offer includes the Modus core range, including our non-alcoholic NORT range, as well as limited local-only releases ranging from sours to lagers, hazy hoppy IPA’s to dark beers. The range is insane and always changing! And if beer isn’t your thing, don’t worry – an extensive selection of curated cocktails, wines and spirits are also on offer. The menu is as delicious and innovative as the drinks on offer; elevated pub fair with a sprinkle of fresh Mexican and fresh seafood, small and large share plates, an entire vegan section, innovative kids meals, takeaway lunch options, barista-made coffee, offerings from The General which will include fresh bread, deli offerings, wines and more. There’s also a large selection of Modus and NORT takeaway options when it comes to beer and merchandise. 

This multi-purpose venue has impressive function spaces (Barrel Room, Operandi Room, The Pavillion & The Oasis) for corporate and social functions and includes a huge kid’s play area. There are also brewery tours, masterclass events, limited edition beer release occasions and collaboration events with the local community (think surf film releases, live football screening, pints & picasso, men sheds, cocktail making etc), as well as night markets in the laneway to the side of the venue coming this year.
