Draught Microbrewery
Draught Microbrewery brings craft beer culture to Limassol's old town from its location at Genethliou Mitellla 14. The venue operates as both a working microbrewery and a taproom, with brewing equipment visible behind glass panels along one wall. The interior follows an industrial aesthetic with exposed brick, metal fixtures, and wooden bar tops. Around a dozen taps line the bar, pouring the house-brewed beers alongside a rotating selection of guest craft beers from European producers. The food menu runs to pub-standard items: burgers, wings, and sharing platters designed to pair with the beer selection. Seating accommodates roughly 80 people inside, with a small outdoor area adding another 20 covers on the street. The crowd is predominantly expat and local beer enthusiasts, with a noticeable after-work contingent from nearby offices. The brewing operation produces several core styles, including a pale ale, an IPA, a wheat beer, and seasonal specials. Tasting flights of four beers are available for those who want to sample the range.

Insider Tip
Start with the tasting flight to find your favorite before committing to a full pour. The seasonal special, when available, is usually the most interesting beer on tap. Thursday evenings draw the biggest after-work crowd and the best atmosphere for meeting locals.
Full Review
Draught Microbrewery fills a gap that Limassol's old town needed: a proper craft beer venue with house-brewed beers and a knowledgeable staff. The old town has plenty of cocktail bars and wine spots, but beer options were limited to standard lager until this place arrived.
The beer selection is the entire reason to visit. The house brews cover a solid range, from approachable wheat beers to more aggressive IPAs. Quality is consistent, and the freshness factor of drinking beer brewed meters from your glass makes a real difference. Guest taps bring in European craft beers that rotate every few weeks, keeping repeat visits interesting.
The tasting flight is the smart first order. Four small pours let you test the range for a reasonable price. The bartenders actively encourage this and will talk you through each beer's profile without being condescending. They know their product and enjoy sharing it.
The food menu is secondary but functional. Pub staples like burgers, wings, and loaded fries pair well with the beers. Portions are generous and pricing is fair. It's not a destination restaurant, but you won't leave hungry.
The crowd splits between expats who have adopted the place as their local and beer-curious tourists. Conversations flow easily, helped by the communal seating arrangements and the shared interest in what's on tap. Thursday and Friday evenings are the busiest, with a post-work crowd that transforms the quiet afternoon taproom into a lively social space.
The main drawback is capacity. With only about 80 seats inside and limited outdoor space, the venue fills quickly on popular nights. Arriving early or visiting on a weeknight ensures you get a comfortable seat.
