This was a fairly horrendous dining experience. It was my first time at Stomping Ground and we sat down and ordered a few dishes to share. One of them was the charcuterie board. What we got was a board of meat thrown together with half toasted bread and a few cornichons. The chicken and porcini terrine was inedible. Rock hard, not to mention disgusting to look at. Please refer to photo. Another meal had a giant blonde hair that I pulled out and had to notify the waiter. Sure, he was apologetic but I had to ask for the item to be taken off the bill. As we sat, I watched clumps of dust blow around the atmosphere, into my drinks and my food and all over my hair and clothes. No one around seemed to care. It was coming from the beams in the ceiling. I could not get out of this place quickly enough, and needless to say, will never be returning. It is so grubby and dirty.

The place was packed with young families and couples when we arrived at 1pm on a Sunday. The waiting staff advised me that the food will take at least 45 minutes for my order of Anchovy pizza and BBQ octopus salad. As this is a brewery, we ordered two pots of the in-house brew while sitting at the pizza bar patiently waiting for our food and people watching. The salad arrived first whilst it was well seasoned and dressed, the octopus were cut into small pieces and tasted like marinated rather than BBQd. Nevertheless overall it was delicious. Then came the pizza, after the first bite I knew it was something special. It has just the right saltiness and flavour combinations plus the thin woodfired crust.... my partner and I agreed to come back again and try another pizza before declaring this as the best pizza bar in Melbourne 😀

It’s no secret that stomping ground has insane beers. My first visit here was unreal, I couldn’t recommend the chips and/or pretzels enough. Unfortunately I visited a few days later with a few friends to grab a meal… a big mistake. The BBQ Rump lacked flavour and was very dry and Nduja pizza was also soggy and cold by the time it arrived. Again, I ordinarily love this place but would recommend that if you visit you stay away from these two dishes. **edit in response to Stomping Ground’s comments** Hi SG, thank you for your reply. I originally added the reference to the wait time because the pizza arrived soggy and cold. I can completely appreciate that you/many others are struggling to find staff - as such I have removed my comment regarding the wait time as I don’t want it to be further misconstrued. See you soon SG.

Industrial but warm and relaxed atmosphere, ideal for families with kids. In Melbourne is very hard to find a quality restaurant with indoor playground and they have it. Big tick for that. Also kids menu has very healthy options, they have a veggies plate which is fantastic, very hard to find in regular pubs. Another big tick! Food was delicious, the burger it's so good. We also got some calamari, chorizo and pizza. All the flavours were spot on. Beers are good, and not only their taste but the variety its so wide, all the spectrum of beers for almost every taste. Dessert quite yum as well. Staff friendly... well bar staff a bit serious, but outside the bar everyone is customer focused. It will become a place that we'll visit more often. Well done!

After so many visits, this is consistently a great spot for enjoying craft beers and hanging out in groups big or small. You can even arrange a tour of the microbrewery to get behind the scenes, which is fascinating. There's a decent range of food choices that cater for the herbivores and carnivores alike. The dishes are always very edible but for me, lack the distinctive flavours I look for. On this visit my Chicken Maryland was quite bland and dry but the salad was sweet and punchy. The huge converted warehouse has indoor and outdoor seating and a super casual feel to just chill. Staff are friendly most of the time. For those who enjoy specialty beers, Stomping Ground is definitely worth checking out.

Stomping ground is as perfect a brew pub as one can get. We've been there a few times now and the whole experience has been great. I won't comment on the entire selection of beer but every one of their sours is excellent especially for the summer. Sitting in their 'garden' space with a pint is extra relaxing. All the food that we've tried so far has also been great, it's easy pub fare and the thin crust sopressa pizza (pictured) was a perfect accompaniment to the beer. You can't go wrong with the bowl of chips either, lightly seasoned and crisp - they are all designed to go well with the beer. All in all they're regularly going to get my dollars and it will be money well spent!
