The TOP 10 BEST Bars in Railway Estate QLD

The TapHouse Townsville is all about craft beer, good food and a great atmosphere . Based in City Lane, Townsville, The TapHouse serves up some of Australia’s best beer from independent craft brewers. Our ten taps constantly rotate and we have featured over 700 beers from independent breweries since our opening in 2015. Beer is a conversation and we love to tell the stories behind each brew. Tap takeovers and beer degustations are regularly hosted at the venue, so be sure to follow us online to know what’s coming up at our place. We are North Queensland’s number one Craft Beer Bar and for the past two years, have been named 3rd best Craft Beer Bar in Queensland in the Beer Cartel’s craft beer survey. We have also achieved bronze in the Pubs, Clubs and Casual Dining category in the 2019 North Queensland Tourism & Events Awards. Our bar has a casual and relaxed atmosphere; offers share plates and a great tapas style menu; as well as an extensive global range of bottled and tin craft beer, cider and wine. We are a short walk from the Queensland Country Bank Stadium, so the perfect place for pre and post event drinks. Some come on down and have a beer and bite at our place.

We’re all about that primal urge to enjoy some of the most mouth-watering racks of ribs available anywhere. Only the best ribs are hand-selected to serve. But first, they’re slow-cooked in our special marinade, flame-grilled to perfection, and basted in our signature Ribs and Rumps sweet BBQ glaze. The hours of love and care dedicated to our ribs pays off — every morsel is mouth-wateringly good. From our juicy 220g Rump to our legendary Chicken Parmy, you’re sure to find the meal to satisfy that primal urge. We even cater to herbivores. Whether you’re looking to cap off a day at work by feasting with mates, celebrating that special occasion, or suited up for a corporate function, you’ll always have a ribs experience like no other.
