Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Good selection, even a selection of non-alcoholic drinks for responsible drivers which is great!
No food but they are happy for you to byo what a great idea! Relaxing indoor booths, high tables and outdoors in the sun.

We are regulars at Empress Craft Beer and they are second to none! A wonderful atmosphere, a artsy Melbourne alley vibe, with staff who really know their beer! A constant changing tap variety ensures you'll be surprised with a new drop every time.

Such a choice of beer, friendly knowledgeable staff (and customers), with an interesting choice of food options. If you are into beer and in Devonport, this is a MUST visit.

We went to this bar during a day trip to Devonport while on holiday in Tasmania. It was in a shopping centre, and was more like a local after work beer bar . The atmosphere was cold and uninviting, with a variety of loud music

Cocktails are always great.good atmosphere. We always try to get into a booth so the music isn't too loud and we can talk.

I had no idea this place existed. I have one evening in Devonport and I wanted it to be memorable. After a a walk along the foreshore, we heard from a local that Empress Craft Beer was the place to go for a refreshing bev. Although primarily a bar, Empress offers charcuterie boards and other nibbles, or the support a local burger joint and accept deliveries, so you can order food in if you like. They have board games too, so we spent most of our evening trying to beat each other in chess while sipping on beer and spirits.
I love a craft beer. I went to the counter and the host asked what flavour profiles I enjoyed and after a quick chat, they recommended me the perfect beer for me, and something unique for my partner too. Afterwards, we tried some of the local gins. The bartender was really knowledgeable and I just had a great evening.

We found this place and was impressed by the atmosphere and range of interesting craft beers. The outside terrace doesn’t have the best view but the beer is worth it. The bar tender was chatty with a good sense of humour. If you like craft beer and are in Devonport this is the place to go. The music was good also. There is a local large supermarket next door which has a fantastic range of good food, fruit and vegetables. Supermarkets do not sell alcohol as a tip.

We just spent a great couple of hours sampling the beers and having a picnic. There was room up the back for us to sit and the kids to dance to the music - note it’s not designed for kids but the bar staff welcomed us and we were all comfortable. Thanks for the terrific service and great variety of beers on tap.

This slick little venue is comparable to a Melbourne Laneway bar. The owners have in Phil, an excellent ambassador, who is warm, knowledgeable and passionate. As it happens, I did not venture to try the numerous tap beers on offer instead I toured the equally impressive Gin and Whiskey menu. Food is BYO, but available for purchase are customized cheese platters, which necessarily prolong the experience. This venue is unpretentious and a worthwhile addition to the itinerary of the anyone finding themselves parched and in need of a taste of urbanity. Thanks Phil, Sarah and Marty.
