Quaint publet selling craft beer. Seats outside and on deck outside, some seats inside. Byo food. Not a great deal of heating, so will need to rug up on cool winter's night. However, on a warm summer night it would be fine and very busy. On the night we visited, it was busy, due to a brother and sister duo called Grace-well making their debut. The bar service was very friendly, helpful and fast. I must compliment them on that. (Suggestion: maybe a small menu from either a local fish and chips or pizza shop would boost both businesses). It was a good night's entertainment at a small publet. If the entertainment is as good as it was on the night we visited, then I would thoroughly recommend you check publet out.

Excellent little micropub. It have a very comfortable/cosy atmosphere. These people know what they are doing. Excellent range of craft beer and gin. Food is via local take away shops. The venue is all single level yet it is situated within a confined space so it is not very disability friendly. The staff are super friendly the music totally relaxing and the choice of seating should suit all types. There are tables outside on the street with heaters and awnings for those with pets or smokers. A must visit when in the area and especially after a walk up the 1000 steps/ Lyrebird track.

Love this place! They have lots of taps on rotation so they always have new beers to try and a great selection of craft beers. Cool vibes with a lovely outdoor area with heaters for cold nights. The service is amazing. One time when a heater wasn't working they gave us blankets. I love that you can bring or order food from nearby eateries, what a great way to support the local businesses. Highly recommend.

Had a late afternoon visit and choice of tables. Very friendly and accommodating venue with fantastic selection of drinks. You ultimately get what you pay for with boutique and craft beers and spirits and the Fat Goat has a great selection and knowledgeable and helpful staff. Enjoyed the food, had cheese board and their chunky chips and liked the look of their menu. Will be going back.

I've been there a few times since they've opened and it's been a great time every time. The people running the place have been welcoming every time, the food is top notch, there's plenty of great beer and gin to choose from and the people serving know it really well. Pulls a crowd of good people and there's room to park your push bike within view our the front. I love the fat goat.

Great local craft beer spot with lots of good options on tap. Nice outdoor seating, mostly stools inside. Use the QR code to order a tasty dinner from Upwey Pizza or Mexican from newly opened Shane on Main and it will be delivered to your table.

What makes a bar a good bar? In my humble opinion, you need unique, tasty drinks , friendly staff, and a good ambience. Fat Goat has all three. Really enjoyed my time here. Would definitely come again.

The best thing about this place is the beer. It's fresh, interesting, and tasty. However there are not too many reasons for me to return. Having great beer is not enough. There is almost no food, it's on a town street, there's no garden bar, it's quite small, it's a bit too busy. Etc. Nice beer though!

Very Friendly Staff ..take the time to explain the brew and suggests tasting before ordering .Love the idea of people around me enjoying their meal they ordered on the Main Street Upwey.... Cool spot...and have to bring my friends next time..Cheers

Different variety of served alcohol, in a cosy outdoor area. This place offers trivia nights & game nights throughout the week nights. I'm told they don't serve food but you can bring food in from other local places. A great environment to catch up with friends over drinks.

Great spot in upwey for a cheeky bev. They were out of the wine we wanted however suggested another drop and it was so good we ended up buying two bottles to take with us. Nice for a winter spot too with lots of good heating outside

This is the type of venue EVERY suburb needs. Good craft beers on tap, boutique spirits, a comfortable and relaxed space to while away the end of your day or enjoy the weekend. With friendly and welcoming service and an eagerness to please. A FANTASTIC local.

Fantastic little brewery. We arrived on a very busy night with no booking and Steph went above and beyond to make a table for us. There is large range of drinks available and you can bring in food from any restaurant, this place is amazing, highly recommended

You need a good vibe for a Friday Night wind down. You love to have a dram or a drop or a pint. Bring your canine friends! Bring food from a local takeaway. This is a refreshingly great place

Nice atmosphere for a Sunday afternoon to have a drink with friends. Various alcohol choices including local beers and ciders. You can pick up local food from the Fish and chips or pizza & eat in, whilst enjoying the beers.

Good rotation of beers on tap. There were heaters outside, and we were able to order some pizzas in from another local business. Was a good night, great spot.

Love this place! Big selection of craft beer and gin cocktails,Warm atmosphere. You can order your drinks there and bring any take away food for your dinner, which is awesome around this area too.

On a dreary winters day a shinning light ! A lovely bottle of red, expressive musicians, yummy food and the obligatory dance - wonderful way to push away the winter blues, ciao Lou and Ava …

Great place to pull in and have a drink when the music's on. It's absolutely lovely drinks for a little bit pricey, but realistically most of them are locally sourced and high quality.

Very friendly staff here & a good selection of beer including local breweries like Hard Road brewing & our top favorites like Hop Nation - A lovely place to spend a Sunday afternoon!

Great night. Beer was great. Awesome concept for a bar. They supply the beer and you can byo food. Plenty of great places to pick up from nearby. The Thai was pretty good

Great beer and gin selection, good food options. We had a little bday gathering there and everyone was happy. The layout encouraged mingling and mixing around.

The Fat Goat is an excellent bar with great beers and ambience. I've had two birthday parties at The Fat Goat and we've been looked after very well both times.

Nice little bottleshop/bar with a great selection of craft beers. Didn't check the wine or spirits list but from what I could tell they do a fantastic job.

Great place for a drink or two with friends. I just wish the bar staff knew how to make a proper Dark n Stormy.

Met some friends here last night for drinks. Sat out the front. What a great place, friendly staff. Awesome atmosphere. We will be back.

Wonderful beers being rotated through the taps and brilliant service. A better local watering hole you'd be hard pressed to find

Great place for a chat and nice wine, or whatever you want to drink. Buy food from local restaurants and enjoy, great concept.

Best vibes in the hills. 6 different types of gluten free two bays beer.

Lovely welcoming atmosphere, vast selection of bespoke brews, friendly staff and great cheese board.

My experience was all about the beer but they also have nice wines, gin and cocktails.

So much fun. Catching up with mates over a couple of very nice Gins. Great spot.
