When in Broome, a visit to the iconic Matso’s Brewery is a must. Situated just steps from the turquoise waters of Roebuck Bay, Matso’s is renowned for its zesty ginger beer, laid-back atmosphere, and delicious meals. The brewery’s tin walls are lined with historical photographs and memorabilia, offering a glimpse into Broome’s past and the story of Australia’s most remote brewery.
Relax in the outside courtyard, where live music adds to the relaxed atmosphere on weekends. Sample a tasting paddle, featuring seasonal brews and Matso’s signature core range, paired with fresh, modern Australian cuisine. During the dry season (April to October), online bookings are recommended to secure a spot on the wrap-around balcony, which offers shaded seating and views across the mangroves.
Closer to Cable Beach, Spinifex Brewery is a family favourite, thanks to its outdoor playground and extensive play areas for kids. The venue, the 2024 Best New Tourism Business winner at the Perth Airport WA Tourism Council Awards, features kid-friendly dining options, a large outdoor screen for sports, and a welcoming atmosphere for all ages.
The menu showcases modern Australian dishes with a Kimberley twist, perfectly complemented by one of the 32 taps, including beers infused with native Australian bush flavours. For a quintessential Broome moment, keep an eye out for the camels that pass by daily on their way to the beach. A section of the outdoor seating is dog-friendly, and visit their website for more information about joining the weekly trivia night.
