WHAT'S ON

Happy Hour in Melbourne with Mountain Culture

emu_website_update2.jpg__PID:b96d3f64-689a-40c8-8592-845c34393345

Situated just a short stroll from the Yarra River, our Richmond brewpub is the perfect anchor point for your afternoon. There is a certain shift in energy that happens in this part of town as the sun begins to dip; the workday starts to wind down, and the call for a fresh, cold pint becomes impossible to ignore.

As a premier pub in Melbourne, we designed this space as a sanctuary for beer lovers and locals alike, a place where the industrial soul of the neighbourhood meets the crisp, mountain-born quality of our brews.

Whether you are settling into a booth to cope with the Monday blues with the team or grabbing a quick stool at the bar for a Wednesday wind-down, we’ve created an atmosphere that captures the very best of craft beer in Melbourne.

We believe the transition from "work mode" to "weekend mode" shouldn't just be reserved for the end of the week. Every afternoon offers a chance to kick back and indulge in the sound of a perfectly poured beer hitting the glass and the buzz of a great local crowd.

The Daily Lineup

Finding a reliable happy hour in Melbourne can be a challenge, but we keep our terms simple so you can focus on the flavour. While our tap list is always evolving with limited releases and experimental batches, our happy hour specials are all about celebrating the icons that put Mountain Culture on the map.

The Schedule: Every Monday through Friday.
The Window: Our happy hour runs from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
The Deal: $10 Pints of our selected Core Range tap beers.
The Selection: Enjoy favourites like the tropical Status Quo Pale Ale, the crisp Aussie Premium Lager, or the tropical fruit-heavy Cult IPA.

It is our way of making sure that high-quality, independent beer remains a staple of your weekly routine without breaking the bank. There is simply no better place for cheap drinks after work in the inner east, especially when paired with a few of our smoker-driven snacks from the kitchen.

Our Core Range

From Mid-Week Ritual to the Friday Early Exit

We realise that while Monday to Thursday is all about that 4:00 pm "clock-off" ritual, the Friday feeling often hits well before the sun goes down. That is why we have rewritten the rules for this specific Richmond pub.

While our standard happy hour keeps the mid-week hump manageable, every Friday we offer an extended happy hour starting from Midday. It is the ultimate excuse to get the good times starting early or extend that "business lunch" well into the afternoon with $10 pints available all day long, right through until 6:00 pm.

Starting your weekend at noon means more than just a cheaper pint. It's about claiming back your time in the heart of one of the city's most iconic brewery hubs. Pair your $10 core range pints with a selection from our full kitchen menu, featuring elevated pub classics, delectable small plates, and smoker-driven dishes like our signature brisket burgers and wings, and let the Friday afternoon slide by in the best way possible.

Whether you are celebrating a win with the crew or just looking for a quiet corner to decompress, our doors are open and the taps are flowing early. We recommend arriving a little ahead of time on Fridays, as the atmosphere picks up quickly once the $9 pints start pouring. It’s a highlight of the Melbourne pub scene that you won't want to miss.
