The Old Swan Brewery Combining history with relaxed and contemporary dining, The Old Brewery provides a feature venue for all your function requirements. Showcasing all that our state has to offer in lifestyle, fresh produce and friendly nature, we are an essential experience. The original Swan Brewery was a relatively small concern established in 1877 by a partnership between John Maxwell Ferguson, a Scottish sea trader and Captain, and William Mumme, a brewer with German and colonial brewing experience. Incorporating the rich history and panoramic view of the river, the venue was re-opened in October 2001, featuring cafe-restaurant and function venue. The 'Thomas Hardwich Function Room' pays tribute to the original Brew master, with breathtaking views of the city skyline, modern fixtures and fittings, it is the ideal venue for corporate events, seminars, presentations, wedding and special events. The restaurant, presents contemporary decor, award winning food and spectacular al fresco dinning. Open 7 days it is with great pleasure that we present this magnificent venue.
