Bucketty’s Brewing Co.

From Farm Dream to Brookvale Gem

Tucked away in Sydney’s Northern Beaches brewery hub, Bucketty’s Brewing Co. in Brookvale is more than just a brewery it’s a lively, welcoming destination blending handcrafted beers, great food, and vibrant community energy.

Founded by Nick and Lexi McDonald, Bucketty’s began on a farm in the Hunter Valley before finding its home in an industrial warehouse in Brookvale. Today, it delivers a rustic, relaxed vibe with reclaimed timber, corrugated iron, and a massive ironbark bar that pays homage to its bushland origins.

Fresh Brews & Rotating Taps

The beer lineup includes something for everyone crisp lagers, hazy IPAs, pale ales, dark stouts, and seasonal specials like Watermelon Wheat and Dank AF IPA. With up to 15 taps rotating regularly, there’s always something new to taste. Don’t drink beer? You’ll also find craft cocktails, local ciders, wine, and low- and no-alcohol options.

Food, Fun & Family Vibes

An on-site food truck serves up burgers, wings, skewers, and fries perfect for pairing with a pint. Inside, the space is designed for everyone: arcade games, foosball, dartboards, a kid-friendly play zone, and even dog-friendly seating. Bucketty’s is open five days a week with live music from Wednesday to Sunday, making it a popular hangout for locals and visitors alike.
