    Amazing Brisket & Beer!
    Got recommended to eat here by Alyson of VIP Wine Tours. The smell from the kitchen was amazing. I ordered the Brisket Burger & Bacon Mac plate, and the buzzer went off quickly. Absolutely smashing brisket with rich, smoky flavours. Great range of beers. I washed my meal down with an ESB, and am currently enjoying their Pale Ale (A nice english variation) from a growler purchase. Another growler full of Double IPA is awaiting sharing with mates this week. Definitely recommend!

    Inner city cool and American style grits comes to Mudgee
    Great vibe straight out of Marrickville or some other trendy inner city venue. Brisket and pork out of a giant smoker, beer tasting paddles, seating embedded in a garden with so many rooms and the buzz of people having a good time. The real estate in Mudgee is cheap so people have the money to spend in this cool and expensive place.

    Can’t go past a meal here
    We stumbled on this place when roaming the streets of Mudgee and decided to stop in for a drink. Ended up staying for amazing smokehouse meal - the chicken wings and brisket …. Omg! The sides were amazing too.

    Great BBQ !
    What a great night ! This place has a great vibe, and the drink selections are fantastic. Tried the Hawaiian Pale Ale, very nice. Food was amazing...the meat was pull apart and very tasty ! Sides were crazy good too ! Desserts - fantastic. I accidentally got the wrong apple dessert. The staff found me and told me they were bringing the right dessert to me right away. What great customer commitment !

    Great ambiance for couples and groups
    We called in here to check it out as a possible venue for my husband's Fathers Day lunch. My husband had a Pale Ale and I had a Lager and we sat out in the beautiful garden area. This venue is huge, we did wonder when they don't take bookings only walk-ins but I am sure there would be plenty of room if you turned up for a meal. The smoking ovens are huge and people at the table next to us ordered lunch and when it came out it smelt fantastic and looked really good too. The service is good and the prices what you would expect but I think it is the ambiance that is the winner here.

Liked that this establishment is thumbing its nose to the oh so conservative Mudgee.

Beers quite good, but the food was much appreciated by us.

It was an unseasonably cold evening and no fires and doors left open, so we were 'chilled' in the wrong way!

This is a really cool little pub with a great menu of smoked meats and local beers. It has many little areas to dine and drink so you don’t feel like it’s crowded at any time although it could be full and you wouldn’t know it.
Definitely worth a visit.

Looks small from the outside but dont be deceived it goes back a long way. The food here is American style smokehouse with generous serves of brisket on offer which was absolutely delicious and generous in size so much so none of us could finish our meals.

They have a great selection of beers and whiskies and even the house whisky (Dead guy by Rogue) is an excellent whisky and we they have a paddle for whisky or beer which I highly recommend so you can try some different ones. We tried some recommended by the staff and they were spot on.

The staff are so friendly and it has a great vibe and they generally dont take bookings so make sure you get there a little early so as not to be disappointed. Besides allows you more time to try the beers and whiskies at a good pace!

A definite to visit whilst in Mudgee!

The place was packed on Saturday night, and as it was the June long weekend, we were lucky to get a table. Drinks are on the expensive side with a little over $14 for a schooner of alcoholic ginger beer. The food serves are generous and definitely reminded us of American style barbecue. Food tasted okay and the place has a nice ambiance. It was a bit chilly outside on a winter’s night. However, if you are near a heater, it would be more comfortable.

Three Tails Brewery, even for a dedicated non beer drinker was a brilliant venue and the food was delicious. Their non-alcoholic range of drinks was fantastic and comprehensive. Could not RECOMMEND this venue highly enough. Staff were just marvellous and so helpful, especially the young men behind the bar.

Been here a couple of times and always the same experience. Too slow behind the bar. Took about 15 mins to get served when I only wanted two beers and a lemonade. Too busy doing tasting paddles. Need a lot more staff. Left after my beer and went elsewhere. Only took 10 seconds to get served at the pub.

Food was good with a reasonable range (we had the brisket and kansky and both were good and arrived quickly, and the beans were by far the pick of the sides, I might go back just for those.
The beer choice however were excellent with I think 15-16 locally brewed options on top (four tried different styles and all winners). Would lve o go back and try more options, might even see if any are available back in Sydney.

My only comment was that for a Satursday night it was pretty quiet - not sure if it was the specific night it was extremely wet) or something else but was a little surprised. It did mean we could talk without having to shout at each other so a win for us I guess.

Last time we were in Mudgee there was only the one craft brewer, now there is another one. Well worth the visit with a great selection at the tap room for both in house and take away. They will fill squealers and growlers and have most of their product in cans. The Hazy Pale Ale was my favorite.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Three Tails. I had a gin tasting paddle and my partner had a beer paddle. We allowed the bar staff to make our selection and we were both happy with their choices.
We had the feast for two for dinner with pork and brisket as our meat choices. The meat was tender, the sauces were a great accompaniment and the sides were delicious (although we only chose the three sides we were treated to a taste of all). We were both extremely happy with our dinner and couldn’t fault our meal (there were left overs, simply because we could not fit another thing in.)
The service was outstanding, what a delight Sally is, knowledgeable and attentive. She made us feel very comfortable.
Although we live a little distance away, we plan to return in the future.

Capped off our weekend in Mudgee, after 7 wineries it was time for some craft beer. On a warm Sunday lunch time, pale ale hit the spot to quench that thirst and the American bbq was mouth watering good. Real American feel to it with the BBQ tasting tray, made the drive home quite pleasant on a full stomach.
