Gilroy's Brewery and Restaurant

Gilroy's Brewery and Restaurant in Muldersdrift, Mogale City, is one of Gauteng's most beloved craft beer destinations , a working microbrewery and rustic restaurant set on a farm in the West Rand, serving house-brewed ales, lagers, and seasonal craft beers alongside hearty farmhouse meals.

The brewery produces a rotating range of craft beers brewed on-site using traditional methods and locally sourced ingredients. Year-round staples include a malty amber ale, a hoppy IPA, a smooth lager, and a rich porter , complemented by seasonal specialties that change with each brewing cycle.

Guests can watch the brewing process through glass panels from the taproom. The restaurant menu is unpretentious and generous: wood-fired pizzas, sharing platters, lamb shanks, ribs, and the famous Gilroy's burger , all designed to pair with the house beers. The rustic farmhouse setting includes indoor seating in the converted brewery building and a large outdoor garden with views over the Magalies hills.

Gilroy's is open Wednesday through Sunday and is a popular destination for weekend day trips from Johannesburg and Pretoria. The farm setting makes it ideal for family outings, and regular live music sessions on Saturday afternoons add to the convivial atmosphere.
