If you live in Kingsville, then you’d already know about this place. Flocks of families and brew loving folks have already discovered the newest micro brewery in the west and as Mamma does, we stumbled upon Barbarian and its beacon of yellow and stayed for a few hours!

Good Beer for Good People is their tag line and Owners Kent, Michelle, Pete, and Zoe really are good people and Matt the brewer (from Two Birds!) helps them make good beer!

Great news, Barbarian now has a full kitchen and is serving up food! There is a great trivia night here on Wednesdays and kids eat FREE on Wednesdays too (selected dish each week)

Barbarian gets really busy so bookings recommended as we predicted it has become an icon of the west. It has a great feel to it with plenty of space for prams, a small nook for kids with books and a whiteboard, booths, couches, tables and bars to sit at.

Mamma says it is a relaxed space where everyone is welcome. Yes, even your pooch!
