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.

Been here a number of times. First time for food. While the chips were nice I was surprised by the lack of chips considering the price. Drink service was a bit slow

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

We had an amazing time on a Sunday - did a tour of the distillery, which was a great way to learn about the incredible history of the place - and then did a tasting. We also had lunch and bought a bottle to take home. Excellent quality of food, service was impeccable, extremely high level quality experience definitely recomended!!

Jase Jackson
An awesome experience here! We booked the tour and tasting and were all thoroughly impressed. Our tour guide was new but gave us plenty of information on the history of the distillery and the current processes used and then set up a great tasting of 5 different products.We were given notes and explanations of the changes in flavours and their Rums exceeded our expectations, even though I've already drank a few bottles of their 5 year. Afterwards, one of our group tried some of their gins and we were equally impressed, great flavours and very drinkable even straight.In the end I had to take home a couple bottles, great value for money, great quality!
Response from the owner: Hi Jase! Thank you for the review! We are so glad you enjoyed time with us! See you soon!
