Handcrafted and small-batch beers, great food and live music a stone's throw from the burbs await locals and visitors at Five Aces Brewing Co. on Main Neerim Road in Neerim. Located at the gateway to Gippsland, this bar, brewery and restaurant offers an experience like no other; sample a brew at the bar where you can see and smell new batches of beer taking shape, or grab a cider and head outdoors to soak up the sun alfresco. Expect to chow down on American-style fare such as mac and cheese croquettes with salsa, served in a basket resting on a red and white checked napkin; or devour a Southern fried chicken burger, bacon, cheese, lettuce, chipotle sauce and beer-battered fries, washed down with a glass of Pale Ale. Pizzaholics pick up a slice of brisket and beer cheese, on a Napoli base.

Best known for: Pulled pork burger, Memphis BBQ sauce, chipotle slaw and beer-battered steakhouse fries.
