About Prancing Pony Brewery

Tucked in Totness, this Adelaide Hills shed pairs freshly pulled craft beers with direct views into the working brewhouse. Upcycled timber tables, floor rugs, and steel chairs fitted with soft cushions give the cavernous space an unmistakable shed-style Gemütlichkeit. Regulars pull up for pours of India Red Ale and Magic Carpet dark ale, accompanied by tasting paddles served alongside a glass of pretzels. Out of the kitchen come stacked Pony Burgers, sticky buffalo wings, and wood-oven pizzas. The front area welcomes dogs, while parents can linger over pints knowing the dedicated kids' play corner keeps little ones occupied.

  • Working Brewery Views: Sip pours like the Magic Carpet dark ale with an unobstructed look right into the brewhouse.
  • Robust Pub Grub: Hearty Pony Burgers, buffalo wings, and wood-oven pizzas anchor the taproom comfort menu.
  • Pretzel-Paired Paddles: Flight boards come with an accompanying glass of pretzels alongside fresh tap pours.
  • Kids' Play Corner: A dedicated indoor play space keeps young children occupied while parents unwind.

  • Pumpkin Soup

    The pumpkin soup in particular was outstanding - the pumpkin taste shone through, accentuated with a hint of herbs (parsley?), perfect for a cold and rainy winter's day

  • Chicken Fingers

    My kids couldn't stop devouring the fries and chicken fingers, both of which were tender inside and remarkably crispy outside.
