Young Henrys Brewery

Newtown's beloved craft brewery, pouring Newtowner pale ale and their gin in a no-frills warehouse tasting bar on a back street. It's loud, dog-friendly and very Inner West. Go for a couple of schooners straight from the source, not for food — there's usually just a food truck or BYO snacks, and it shuts at 7pm.

Key facts

Frequently asked questions

Is Young Henrys dog friendly?

Very — it's one of Sydney's classic dog-friendly venues and on weekends there are often as many dogs as people. Kids are allowed with adults during the day too.

Can I do a brewery tour at Young Henrys?

Yes, they run brewery tours you can book through their website, which include a guided tasting. Honestly though, the tasting bar itself sits right in the working brewery, so even a casual visit feels like a tour.

What are Young Henrys tasting bar hours?

Monday to Saturday 10am to 7pm and Sunday midday to 7pm. Yes, it closes early — this is an afternoon-session brewery, not a night venue, so treat it as your first stop before dinner on King Street.

What beer is Young Henrys famous for?

Newtowner, their Australian pale ale, is the flagship and the one you'll see all over Sydney pubs. The tasting bar also pours limited releases and collaborations you can't get anywhere else, plus their Noble Cut gin.

Does Young Henrys take card or cash?

Card is fine and standard across Sydney. You can also buy tinnies, growlers and merch to take away from the same counter.

Is Young Henrys worth visiting over other Sydney breweries?

If you want the definitive Inner West brewery experience, yes — it's the one with the deepest local roots and music-scene cred. Marrickville has a bigger cluster of breweries if you want to hop between several.

How do I get to Young Henrys from the city?

Take a train to Newtown station, then it's about a 10-minute walk down to Wilford Street. It's an easy add-on to a King Street wander. Don't drive on a weekend; Newtown parking is grim.

Does Young Henrys serve food?

Not really — there's often a food truck parked outside on weekends, and you're generally welcome to bring in takeaway from nearby Newtown spots. Don't arrive starving on a quiet weekday.
