Some times we might be closed before you return if the game is a late start.

Transport - local train station is Te Papapa, 800m/8 minute walk. (The Onehunga station is 1.6km/15 minute walk). Airport is 10 minutes drive.

Staff - are friends and family, and part of your local community. They are knowledgeable and passionate about beer but also your well being and what's going on in the community. We are all family here.

Music - is a bit rocky, with an obvious thread of 80's. Also the right level of loud. (Epic Taproom - Sample Playlist)

LIVE MUSIC - Once a month we have the Epic House Band play. Check out there videos on Facebook - Epic House Band.

Garden Bar / Outdoor seating - The first stage of the garden bar is now complete and you can enjoy sitting outside on lovely sunny days. As time permits there will be a number of improvements added.

It's A Warehouse - don't expect much more than an industrial warehouse. During the week this is a working warehouse. Come the weekend we just pop-up some tables and benches and have some vintage couches down the back. The beer and pizzas are amazing, and the locals are friendly. We hope you enjoy it.

With everything we do we apply the mantra of "how can we do this better?". If there is something you notice that we can do better please let us know. We aren't finished with the taproom, as we see it as a work in progress and we always be tinkering and adding to it.

If you are a local or visit regularly we have a group where we share what's coming up, what's happening and what's been happening.

REVIEW FROM - Concrete Playground Auckland

Epic Beer's Onehunga taproom originally launched as a pop-up in October 2019 and has since been operating across select weekends with special liquor licenses. After more than 12 months of delays from COVID-19 and a drawn-out licensing process, the craft brewery's sprawling space is now open to the public.

The taproom can be found right in the middle of the brewery's functioning warehouse down the driveway at 230B Neilson Street. The delightfully no-frills beer hall was inspired by owner Luke Nicholas' trips to similar industrial spaces in Los Angeles.

Between the warehouse roller door, wooden storage pallets and walls lined with product, there are plastic picnic tables and vintage furniture scattered around the concrete slab for seating. Arcade machines, including classics like Daytona USA, Time Crisis and Street Fighter II, sit in their own dedicated gaming corner and a massive industrial fan keeps things cool in the warmer months.

A visit to the taproom means the opportunity to try the latest Epic releases on tap. There are popular releases like the 'Armageddon' IPA, 'Joose Party' hazy pale ale and 'Hop Zombie' imperial IPA available by the pint or as growler fills to take away. The full range of canned and bottled beers can be picked up from the fridge.

For sustenance, the kitchen serves up antipasto platters, calzone and pizza — including margherita, pepperoni and fig and prosciutto. Kids and well-behaved dogs are welcome, too.
