Featured Events
Felons Brewing Co. is one of Sydney’s most exciting waterfront destinations, combining craft beer, relaxed dining, and live entertainment in a prime harbour-side setting. Known for its social atmosphere and scenic views, Felons has quickly become a favourite for locals and visitors looking to unwind with great drinks, food, and company.
Felons Brewing Co. is a modern Australian brewery dedicated to crafting exceptional beer and celebrating the good life.
Inspired by a true story from 1823, Felons takes its name from four convicts who, while travelling from Sydney to Illawarra, were blown off course, lost at sea, and ultimately shipwrecked on Moreton Island. Their spirit of adventure, resilience, and freedom lives on today in every beer we brew.
We welcome locals and visitors alike to experience Felons Brewing Co. at our iconic locations — beneath Brisbane’s Story Bridge or at Manly Wharf in Sydney. Set against stunning waterfront backdrops, our breweries are the perfect place to enjoy expertly crafted Australian craft beer, relax with friends, and savour a long, refreshing sip of life at its best.
Whether you’re a craft beer enthusiast or simply chasing a great atmosphere, Felons Brewing Co. offers an unforgettable brewery experience. Cheers to good times, great beer, and living well.
About Felons Brewing Co.

Our Process
Backed by **over 75 years of combined brewing experience**, our team of dedicated beer lovers is driven by a deep appreciation for how great beer is made. We focus on crafting **climate-responsive, perfectly balanced beers** that highlight fresh, simple, and natural ingredients. The result is high-quality beer with character, flavour, and absolutely no fuss.
Creativity sits at the heart of everything we do. As passionate and playful brewers, we continually push our craft forward — experimenting with new ingredients, exploring bold ideas, and uncovering diverse flavour profiles. While we respect time-honoured brewing traditions, we’re equally committed to innovation, allowing our creative spirit to thrive in every batch we brew.
Craft Beer & Drinks
At the heart of Felons Brewing Co. is its craft beer selection. Brewed for easy drinking and broad appeal, the range typically includes crisp lagers, refreshing pale ales, and seasonal releases. For non-beer drinkers, the bar also offers wines, spirits, and non-alcoholic options, ensuring there’s something for everyone at the table.
Food & Dining Experience
Felons pairs its drinks with a menu focused on fresh, approachable food designed for sharing. Expect crowd-pleasing pub classics, modern Australian flavours, and casual plates that work just as well for a quick bite as they do for a long, social meal. The emphasis is on relaxed dining that complements the waterfront setting rather than formal sit-down service.
