Visit our distillery

Beenleigh is Australia’s oldest operating distillery, surrounded by both sugarcane and rum distillery history. We created Australia’s original Rum, back before even Coca Cola was invented. Over 136 years later we’re still crafting small-batch rum the traditional way, at our distillery on the banks of the Albert River in Eagleby QLD.

Beenleigh is expanding its offerings at the distillery with the opening of the Distillery Restaurant. This gastro-style culinary haven promises an experience that any rum aficionado would love.

The staff were lovely and in general the food was good. We were quite disappointed that there were "vegan options" stated on the menu, however the vegan options for the pizzas we ordered just had the cheese taken off, rather than being replaced with vegan cheese. Our local independent pizza shop in the country town we live in has vegan cheese, its really easy to acquire and offer your customers. A nice atmosphere, however quite difficult to find. Google maps takes you to distillery road market, rather than the Beenleigh Artisan Distillery.

We had a delightful time tasting the 5 types of rum. Had cocktails and the rum with pineapple crushis my new favourite drink. Rum and ginger beer was very nice too. Lovely young man kept us informed, wish I knew his name but no name tag. We saw a big table with pizzas etc and they looked yummy.

What a great little spot. Looks great, with an industrial vibe. Amazing food and drinks, not over-priced. We sat in the beer garden area & the background music was spot on. All staff including cooks were friendly. Highly recommend.

Great space to have lunch and enjoy some local brews! There is lots of indoor seating and some bar tables outside too. Good venue for larger groups too. Burgers were great, the truffle mayo was really delish. Chips were cooked to perfection! They have meal deals even on the weekends which was great. Service was also excellent. Would definitely come back again!

Four of us attended dinner on Saturday night. We had looked at the menu beforehand and decided it looked like a pretty interesting menu. All four of us weren’t disappointed with our choices. The portions were generous, and the presentation was great. Each appeared to have a separate flavor .It was great to go to an establishment that just didn’t have steak and chips and veal parmigiana on the menu!The last thing was, the prices were very competitive.Would recommend.

Panther Azza
When there for a tasting of the more premium rums they distille and really enjoyed the product knowledge of the young lad who served us. On Friday. And very helpful. We also tried the tequila tasting tray too. Good selection of the range of drinks for the taste buds. Be sure to rinse with the water or soda water between drinks for a better flavour profile. I found with this tasting. About 330pm it was quiet and enjoyable to just relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Purchase the jalapeno tequila to make Burning Mexican shots. Enjoy thanks for the experience and the job offer.
Response from the owner: Hi Panther, We are so glad you enjoyed you time with us! Enjoy that Jalapeno Tequila!CheersTeam Beenleigh

First visit and it won't be the last. We did the Gin Tasting and ended up staing for another drink. Great atmosphere and venue, outdoor area with large jenga to play with, had a look at the menu, looking forward to going back for lunch/dinner. The water we had was excellent, he gave up plenty of information about what happens at the distillary, music on Fridays, comedy night, really enjoyed my visit as did my family from Sydney. A place I will be visiting mire often.
Response from the owner: Hi Trace, We are so glad you enjoyed your experience! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Shaun “and” Jodie
Started with the classic rum share platter. Host explained facts about the 5 rums which was very informative. Tried around 4 different cocktails, all were very good. Food was above average, pizzas were fresh and straight off the fire. Atmosphere was amazing, small restaurant with a great vibe. Definitely a new favourite venue.The added touch of purchasing the alcohol distilled on-site was a nice finishing touch for the evening.
Response from the owner: Hi Shaun and Jodie! We are so glad you enjoyed your visit! Looking forward to seeing you soon! CheersTeam Beenleigh
