Epic Taproom Is Not for Everyone — And That’s the Point

There are plenty of places you can go for safe, familiar, middle-of-the-road food and drink. Places designed to offend no one, impress no one, and be forgotten by Monday.

Epic Taproom isn’t one of them.

Epic was never built to be a regular gastro pub with the usual fare. It doesn’t chase trends, dilute flavour, or aim for the broadest possible appeal. Epic exists for people who want the very best — and know the difference.

If you want to be impressed, challenged, surprised, and genuinely wow’d, you’re in the right place.
If you’re after mediocre and middle-of-the-road, this won’t suit you — and that’s intentional.


Do One Thing. Do It Epically Well.

Epic focuses on two things — and does them at the highest level:

Beer. And pizza.

Not an endless menu of compromises. Not beers made to please everyone. Just bold, expressive, world-class beers brewed by Epic, alongside pizzas that hold their own against the beer rather than apologising for it.

Ten Epic beers on tap. Always changing. Always intentional.
From hop-driven IPAs to dark, contemplative stouts, these are beers with personality — beers you talk about, remember, and come back for.


A Space That Hits You the Moment You Walk In

From the outside, Epic looks like what it is: an industrial warehouse.
Step inside — and everything changes.

People walk through the door and stop.
There’s a moment of silence. Then: “Whoa.”

At one end, the nose of an ex–Air Chathams aircraft.
At the other, the original iconic Keans Jeans Neon Cowboy rescued from Queen Street.

It’s not décor. It’s atmosphere.
It’s storytelling.
It’s shock and awe — the good kind.

Outside, Epic opens up into a huge garden bar — shaded by umbrellas and a massive louvered pergola. It’s open, relaxed, and somehow still feels like a secluded oasis, tucked away from the noise of the real world.

Epic may be off the beaten path — but once you find it, it stays with you.


Play, Don’t Spectate

Epic is built for participation, not passive consumption.

There are 10 pinball machines, including the latest global releases — constantly rotating, always fresh.
No blinking TV screens screaming for your attention.
No wall-to-wall sports commentary drowning out conversation.

Instead, people talk.
They play.
They laugh.
They connect.

Epic is about people coming together over beer — not staring at screens.


Big Groups, Big Energy

Epic comfortably handles large groups — work parties, birthday parties, celebrations, and on occasion, full private functions.

The space works because it was designed to.
There’s room to move. Room to gather. Room to disappear into a conversation or a game of pinball and resurface an hour later with a fresh beer in hand.

This is a venue people go to — not just drop into.


Always Familiar. Never the Same.

The music playlist is as eclectic as the venue itself.
You’ll hear old favourites you forgot you loved — alongside tracks you haven’t heard anywhere else in years.

Like the beer and the pinball machines, the playlist evolves.
Every visit offers something new.

That’s why people come back.
And why so many become regulars.


Epic Leaves a Mark

Epic Taproom is not designed to be forgettable.
It’s designed to leave an impression — one that pulls you back again and again.

It’s a place you remember.
A place you talk about.
A place that becomes your place.

Epic isn’t trying to be everything to everyone.

It’s doing something far harder —
being unforgettable to the people who get it.
