SIX STRING TAP ROOM
Located on the bustling Central Coast Highway at Erina, the new Six String Brewing Co. taproom amplifies everything that makes this award-winning brewery special. Owner Chris Benson's passion for music and brewing converge in a space that's equal parts craft brewery, Filipino-inspired kitchen, and live music venue.
The architecture embraces an unapologetically industrial aesthetic – heavy, raw, and authentic. Working within the constraints of a concrete tilt panel building, the design maximizes functionality while creating distinct zones for brewing, dining, and performance. The signature matt black steel plate balustrades cut dramatic lines against raw off-form concrete walls, creating a visual rhythm that mirrors the musical DNA of the brand.
Gritty polished concrete floors ground the space in industrial honesty, while strategic lighting creates intimacy within the expansive volume. Every design decision reinforces the connection between craft brewing and rock music – two art forms that demand authenticity, precision, and soul.
