Kicks Brewing — Restaurant in Sydney

Cam and Job run a tight ship and are happy to discuss the ins and outs of their various brews (as well as the finer points of warming genshu sake if you’re so inclined).

A number of happy customers and their furry friends or mini me’s also sailed through the venue on the Saturday we visited. Tasting paddles of four beers are an excellent entree into Kicks’ lineup for the novice.

Of particular note for this punter were their rice lager, west coast IPA, and Baltic porter.

There’s a beer fridge packed full of four packs of tinnies for those who wish to takeaway. In addition to the range of draft beers there is the option of buying a ‘tin pour’ from one of the refrigerated cans. And the pizza tent out front, run by the delightful husband and wife team of Saint Michiba’s Pizza churns out an impressive array of thin-crusted numbers featuring homemade chilli jams, razor-thin slices of tender chicken breast, juicy sausage, jalapeño and other gourmet ingredients. Unisex toilets are clean, and include a fully decked-out parents’ bathroom complete with nappy changing bay.

A sophisticated joint, with middies served in classy thin-glass tumblers, Kicks is a venue to savour in the early afternoon before the hubbub of the family groups ups the decibels to nil-by-ear levels.

In between the low-hanging flights of the A380s and the flight of Kicks tastings, one can achieve a kind of light industrial chic Marrickville...

While a lot of the other breweries have become more like venues with a brewery theme Kicks is definitely a brewery that just happens to have a bar and I love...

Updating my previous review as I actually know the names of the guys running it now. Brendan is, in my opinion, the best brewer in the area. Never had a beer that was not top quality. The bar guys are all amazing, Cam in particular is always happy to talk through things and is potentially the most friendly front of house rep in Marrickville. 2 top quality food trucks are on rotation and the second best brewery in the area ( Bracket) is only a 2 min walk. Even the...
