Apollo Bay Distillery

Great place for good coffee and pizza. The restaurant is located towards the end of the restaurant stretch in town but serves good food and coffee. The truffle fries and calamari were great side dishes. The service is quick. It has a shop to buy goodies and good drinks as well. The toilets are clean and well maintained.

Pretty interesting experience!! The gins were lovely, the tasting experience was sublime! The pizza was goood just that the choice on the food menu was pretty limited and the ambience was kinda flat, hence the not bringing this to a 5 star. What I mean by that, there should be more food choices, and maybe have some music in the background or something because a bar/restaurant kinda place will definitely be uplifted with good music around :) Now the gin, omg, it was so good. The staff really explained the gin tasters well. The good mix of local ingredients and local gin was really good. Id say you gotta experience it at least once. The oven baked pizza was GOOD, so if you’re a pizza person and love gin or even beer, then it’s easily a 5! Haha.

I came a bit late for my lunch and the kitchen was closed at the time when I arrived. Even though, the kitchen was closed - they took my order :) The front desk lady and the guy who was working in the kitchen were super nice. The pizza which I ordered was pretty good. This place has a good vibe!!

What we had: Skinny Fries - Good. The Aioli was tasty Calamari - Lovely spice, crispy & perfectly cooked. It went better with the aioli than the sauce it was served with. Gin Mule - gin was overpowered slightly by the ginger. Next time I will order a double shot. It was still pretty tasty. Citrus Splash - this was the pick of our drinks. The Grapefruit Gin was lovely. Coastal Gin with Fever Tree Mediterranean Tonic. The Coastal Gin has strong anise notes. Not a flavour I like. Gamberi Pizza - crust was perfectly cooked. Garlic Prawns were amazing. If I were to order again, would ask to pass on the balsamic as it took away from the other flavours. Overall: Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. Good place to visit.

The place is nice, atmosphere is great and service is hospitable, quick and friendly, and the cocktail was great. The pizza was good, but not great, and the menu is quite limited All in all, a good place to grab a drink and enjoy a decent pizza

My partner and I ventured in late afternoon seeking out a hot cuppa as everything was closed and glad we did. We were warmly greeted and got a delicious hot choc with a square marshmallow (how cool). The atmosphere was friendly and cosy and they have lots of different flavoured gins to try if you wish. I wasn't able to partake this time. Their menu for snacks is extensive and looked delicious. Will be back to try your truffle fries and chicken wings. Thank you for your hospitality :-)

Oh dear what have they done? This place used to be amazing with delicious Napoli style pizzas made with love, topped with amazing Italian ingredients for the 5 or more years. Pizzas we USED to talk about the next day for good reasons. On our most recent visit they have changed the menu which now resembles service station pizza. Plastic mozzarella and toppings that belong at the MCG fast food outlets. To top it all off they are now using premade FROZEN PIZZA BASES which were thick doughy and revolting. And for $27 I would hope the pizza base is delicately fermented and cared for, not imported frozen from a factory. What a shame as this used to be such an amazing place. We used to go for the food and enjoy their gin. You’re better off ordering dominos pizza and getting a bottle of gin for home. Avoid.

Really enjoyed the HSP pizza. Interesting but good flavour! The wings weren’t bad either, just not as crispy as I would hope. Still not bad at all though!
