Smash Burgers in Melbourne with Mountain Culture

Located in the heart of Richmond’s industrial pocket, our Melbourne brewpub serves as the ideal anchor point to kick off your week. There is a specific shift in the atmosphere on Murphy Street as Monday afternoon turns to evening; the early-week hustle begins to taper off, and the need to find and enjoy a high-quality, salt-of-the-earth meal becomes the only thing on the mind.

As a cornerstone of the Melbourne craft beer scene, we’ve built this venue to be a clubhouse for the dedicated. It’s a space where the raw, heritage feel of the building meets the precision and polish of our kitchen and brewery.

Whether you’re sliding into a booth to strategise with your team or perched at the bar for a solitary moment of peace, we’ve cultivated an environment that celebrates the best of Melbourne’s culinary culture. We believe that a Monday night shouldn't be an afterthought. It’s an opportunity to lean into the hiss of the grill and the comfort of a well-earned meal among a community that values quality over everything.

The Monday Lineup

We know that by the time Monday dinner rolls around, you want decisions to be easy and the rewards to be high. While our culinary team is usually busy with our smoker-focused menu, Monday nights are dedicated entirely to the art of the sear and the science of the smash.

The Schedule: Every Monday, rain or shine.
The Window: The grill starts hot at 5:00 pm and runs until the kitchen calls it a night.
The Deal: Three tiers of specialised smash burgers, each served with a side of our seasoned golden fries.
The Selection: Choose from the Classic Smash ($22), the premium Brisket Smash ($25), or the heavy-hitting Double Smash ($26).

This is our way of ensuring that top-tier, independent hospitality remains a consistent part of your week. There is no better place in the inner east to discover a chef-quality burger that respects both your palate and your wallet, especially when paired with a fresh release from our tap wall.

A New Monday Tradition

We recognise that while Tuesday through Thursday might be about the routine, Monday requires a bit of a "circuit breaker" to set the right tone for the days ahead. That is why we have made the smash burger the hero of our Monday night ritual in Richmond.

While our core menu remains a staple, the focus shifts on Mondays to that perfect crust and lacy edge that only a true smash burger can provide. It is the perfect excuse to bypass the kitchen at home and claim a spot in one of the city's most vibrant brewery hubs. Starting your week here is about more than just avoiding the dishes; it’s about the sensory experience of a busy brewpub: the clink of glasses, the aroma of the grill, and the laid-back Richmond vibe.

Pair your burger with a flight of our Status Quo Pale Ale or stay true to the favourites with a crisp Aussie Premium Lager. Whether you are debriefing after a big day or simply looking for a reliable local haunt to call your own, our taps are flowing, and the grill is ready. We recommend getting in early to grab the best seat in the house, as the energy in the brewpub builds quickly once the first patties hit the steel. It’s a Melbourne staple that turns the hardest day of the week into the highlight.
