If you’re on the hunt for a spot for Friday knock-offs with mates or a casual bite and a beer with the fam, Two Mates Taphouse in Varsity Lakes is your place. Occupying the former The Lake Brewhouse space, the new taphouse is the second in the Two Mates family, which has its main brewery based in Lismore, New South Wales. You’ll find the brand’s core range of seven beers on tap alongside a selection of small-batch and specialty sips that are created onsite. Hungry? You’re in luck – Two Mates dishes up a scattering of traditional bar-style snacks, aka the kind of food you want when you’re drinking beer – saucy wings, crisp spring rolls and chicken schnitzels, to name a few. There’s bar-style seating for 100 across the breezy balcony as well as an inside dining area. Much like its name implies Two Mates Taphouse is the kind of place you can kick back, chill out and enjoy a bite and a beer with pals.
