Love good beer, great food, and even better company? We’re on the hunt for a Full-Time Commis Chef to join our team at The Local Taphouse in St Kilda!
ABOUT US
A pioneer of Melbourne’s craft beer scene, The Local Taphouse has been serving up world-class beers and top-quality food for over 15 years. Inspired by the great beer halls of Europe, our cozy, welcoming pub is all about great hospitality, rotating taps, and a buzzing atmosphere. Whether it’s a Sunday roast, a casual pint, or a beer-matched feast, we’re here to bring people together over incredible brews and delicious food.
ABOUT THE VENUE & FOUNDERS
Located in the heart of St Kilda, The Local Taphouse is an award-winning craft beer pub with 20 rotating taps, a rooftop beer garden, and a menu designed to complement the brews we pour. It’s the kind of place where regulars settle in for an afternoon, groups gather for a feed, and beer lovers come to explore something new every time they visit.
The Local Taphouse helped spark Australia’s love for craft beer. The founders later went on to create GABS Festival and Stomping Ground Brewery, but The Local Taphouse remains where it all began—still independent, still community-driven, and still passionate about great beer.
