The Cityside Beer Belt, lies in the heart of Melbourne and was the third beer & spirit region created in Victoria in mid 2024.

This exceptional region features 8 breweries and 4 distilleries, with two functioning as both, spread across Port Melbourne, South Melbourne, Richmond and Collingwood.

Originally created with 14 venues, sadly due to closures and difficult times for venues Cityside now has 10 venues operating - each trying to make it in this difficult climate. We would like to thank our OGs for helping start the Cityside - The Mill, Fox Friday and Burnley who sadly have all closed and Clifton Hill Brewpub and Brogans Way for supporting us in the early days.

Now more than ever these venues need our patronage - so what better way to explore them all and to discover your favourite. Whether you embark on a self-guided adventure or join one of our exciting Hop On Hop Off tours, an unforgettable experience awaits.
