Guest The Pom Queen Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 THERE are literally tonnes of awesome beer gardens across our great brown land so deciding on only a few to highlight was like being forced to choose a favourite child or One Direction member (or maybe not so much with the latter). Whether it's in the tranquillity of the countryside, the madness of the city or the magic of the waterfront - there's nothing more alluring than a beer garden that screams "sit back, relax and most importantly - drink up". Newport Arms, Newport, NSW If you haven't been to the Newport Arms - you've at least heard of it - it's all about the view. The absolute highlight is sitting on the grass a la picnic style alongside the view of Pittwater bay. A close second is kicking back in the deck chair area. It also doesn't hurt that it boasts the largest waterfront beer garden in the country as well as Sydney's largest outdoor cinema screen. Wheatsheaf Hotel, Thebarton, SA From hairy hipsters, pollies and families to ole fellas, tradies and suits and anyone in between - one and all hang out at the revamped garden which has retained the existing trees and added jasmine along with a feature functional water tank and spot lighting showcasing the original 1920s façade. In true "Wheaty" fashion, the beer garden is an extension of the pub's philosophy: no pokies, TAB or TV screens and a focus on live original music coupled with a good dose of old-fashioned conversation. Great Northern Hotel, North Carlton, Victoria Most Melburnians will be quick to mention this beauty if you ask to be pointed in the direction of an outdoor watering hole. One of the city's largest beer gardens, you won't get bored (but maybe a wee bit drunk) with 22 beers on tap at the outdoor bar. Although the area holds more than 100 punters, there are little nooks and crannies to disappear into. Little Creatures Brewery, Fremantle, WA In true laid-back WA style - grab yourself a Pale Ale and soak in the brewery chaos before wandering out into the backyard to enjoy your beer in the sunshine while gazing out over the ocean. Australian Brews News editor Matt Kirkengaard describes the spot as the closest to old-school ambience in a beer garden as you can get. Courthouse, Newtown, NSW The Courty brings that little bit of country into the heart of the city with a hibiscus tree smack bang in the middle of a spacious and mostly-shaded courtyard with the balcony overlooking the garden giving off that homestead feel. With way more seating outside than in - the laidback outdoor action is by far the pub's biggest pulling power. The eclectic crowd on any given day can include families, students, firemen and artists.
