Aardvark and Arrow Brewery

Aardvark and Arrow Brewery sits on John Duncan Court at Varsity Lakes, on the southern Gold Coast near Burleigh. A much-loved craft brewery, it's earned a near-flawless reputation — combining quality craft beer brewed on site with a relaxed, characterful taproom atmosphere, the kind of welcoming, in-the-know spot that craft-beer lovers seek out.

The appeal is that combination of genuinely good craft beer, a relaxed taproom setting and a convenient Varsity Lakes location, ideal for a tasting, a few beers with friends or a relaxed session. For anyone who loves craft beer, a quality local brewery with a welcoming taproom is a real draw, and the near-perfect feedback speaks to a spot that's genuinely delighting its visitors.

A 4.9 rating from more than 100 reviews is an excellent result and a strong sign of a well-loved, well-run brewery. The beer range, any food or food trucks, tastings, opening hours and pricing vary, and a popular taproom gets busy over weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for quality craft beer in a relaxed setting, it's often just a matter of dropping in at Aardvark and Arrow at Varsity Lakes.
