The Scratch

The Scratch Beer Bar We guarantee: Good beer, s**t chat, great hair, good times.
(1196)

Nestled in the shadow of the world’s only Eiffel Tower on beautiful Park Road, Milton, the Scratch is a beer bar doing its best to put a good drink in your hands with a minimum of fuss. We offer: a painstakingly chosen tap list of independent beers from Australia and abroad that changes daily, a similarly rotating selection of s**t-hot wines, grouse cheeseboards, and a seasonal selection of the fe

w cocktails we trust ourselves to make really, really well. We are: dog friendly, committed to having non-alcoholic beverage options that are actually quite good, and a great place to eat food from any of the takeaway restaurants in the area — some of them will even deliver it to you right at the bar.

Hard to photograph, easy to love - it’s a brand new art show from titled “Los Luchadores vs The Cryptids”. This one is an evolution of Chris’ previous solo shows we’ve also been lucky enough to host, this time cryptids are invading the world of lucha libre spaghetti westerns featuring the likes of Big Foot, Mothman, chupacabras, lizard people…and more.
🦎 🤠
Chris will also be hosting a special edition of Wrestling Club on Sunday night at The Scratch Bar, Milton so you can come down and pick his brain about his art, wrestling, cryptids, beer (that might be more our thing) etc.
Art show: up now, but sales don’t start until Sunday.
Wrestling Club: Sunday from 5pm up through back of the bar.

Happy birthday to the dogfather himself, Brisbane’s biggest fan, and the person who normally writes these posts - Boots! If you see him today, give him a knowing nod and overtly mouth the words “I know it’s your birthday” at him.

We're thrilled beyond belief to announce that the 2026 World Yahtzee Champion is the first ever two-time champion in the history of the World Yahtzee Championships. Congratulations to Tom on making Yahtzee history, and congratulations to our runner-up Davin, our losingest participant Lisa, and to first-timer Akwany on being the points scoringest person of the day. Thanks so much to the homies at for the beer and the support, and to everyone that came to the tournament. An incredible day of dice athleticism and dice community.
