Always great beers and the food is amazing compared to other breweries who try to do the beer/food thing.

The food is great, I can highly recommend the burger. It can get busy, which is not surprising. Most of the complaints seem to be about having to wait. Gotta say that's not really much of a basis to complain about a place... that it's popular and *you* can't get in. Go somewhere else if it's full guys. Maybe try Edison's down the road. They've been so successful, the Mona Vale Hotel next door is being forced to renovate. Great local business that has really added to the area. If you like beer, I can't see why this wouldn't be your first stop.

There is a great casual atmosphere, supported, depending on the day, by live music or movies on the big screen. The food at MO is also top notch you can't go past the $10 cheeseburger on a Thursday (and accompanying $15 jug of Modus Pale Ale of course). The mob running it are a friendly bunch, know their stuff (and are always happy to talk about beer or recommend some), and are doing an awesome job. I'm absolutely stoked that we have a venue of this kind in the local area!

A great place for great food and even better beers! Do yourself a favour and pile into the spiced cauliflower and a pint of Moontan Stout. read more A great place for great food and even better beers! Do yourself a favour and pile into the spiced cauliflower and a pint of Moontan Stout.
