16 brewery places in Montpellier we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Montpellier | Brewery across every city.
La Barbote brews and pours its own beer on Rue des Deux Ponts in the Beaux-Arts quarter, a microbrewery bar open every single evening until 01:00.
TipIt opens seven nights, rare for a brewery bar; go early for a seat, the room is small and local.
Drapeau Rouge brews on the Faubourg Boutonnet and feeds its own taproom with pub plates and slow-cooked meat burgers, a student-quarter fixture.
TipWeekday lunch in a working brewery is the quiet way in; evenings fill with the Boutonnet student crowd.
ZooBrew opens its Castelnau-le-Lez brewery bar on the eastern edge of Montpellier two evenings a week, pouring fresh house beers where they ferment.
TipThursday and Friday only, straight from the tanks; the tram 2 gets you close from the centre.
Le Comptoir des Brasseurs brews and serves at Odysseum in Montpellier, a big brewpub pouring its own beers seven days a week with a full menu.
TipUseful before cinema or arena nights at Odysseum; the house lineup beats the mall setting.
La Barbote brews in the middle of Montpellier and pours its beers across the bar on Rue des Deux Ponts every evening of the week until 01:00.
TipThe rare city-centre brewery you can walk to after dinner; arrive before 21:00 for a table.
Drapeau Rouge is the Boutonnet brewery-pub, house beers on tap beside slow-cooked meat burgers and a brewing school, open seven days a week.
TipOne of the few breweries in France where you can also eat a proper weekday lunch beside the tanks.
SOMI brews in the Croix d'Argent business quarter south-west of the centre, a weekday bottle shop with a Thursday and Friday taproom beside the tanks.
TipTreat Thursday and Friday evenings as the visit window; the rest of the week is shop-only.
Fauve Craft Bière brews IPAs and sours at its Vendargues plant inside the Montpellier métropole, with a weekday taproom poured at the source.
TipThe brewery moved to this purpose-built Vendargues site in January 2025; check the fridge for taproom-only releases.
ZooBrew opens its Castelnau-le-Lez brewhouse to drinkers on Thursday and Friday nights, fresh beer at the eastern edge of the Montpellier tram map.
TipTwo nights only; pair it with dinner back in the centre since the brewery pours but does not cook.
Le Comptoir des Brasseurs runs the Odysseum brewpub in Port Marianne, beers brewed behind the bar and a full brasserie card served every day.
TipThe seven-day opening and food menu make it the family-friendly brewery option in the city.
Le Détour brews on Rue du Pasteur Jean Cadier in Montpellier and pours through Le Réservoir, the taproom it shares with Sacrilège and Brewing Bears.
TipSkip the brewery door and head to the shared Le Réservoir taproom, where all three house breweries pour side by side.
Le Réservoir is Brasserie Sacrilège's taproom on Rue Montels Saint-Pierre, pouring the house range plus guest kegs from other Montpellier brewers.
TipLe Détour and several other city brewers pour here too, so it doubles as a tasting shortcut.
Ninkasi opened its first southern bar on Place Pablo Picasso by the Marché du Lez, pouring the Lyon group's craft range alongside burgers and live sets.
TipA few minutes from the Marché du Lez, so it pairs naturally with the food-truck yard.
La Malpolon brews mixed-fermentation and barrel-aged farmhouse beers at Lavérune on Montpellier's western edge, using almost entirely local raw materials.
TipThe taproom is the Guinguette at the Lavérune site; the operator publishes no fixed hours, so email before making the trip.
La Barbote brews on site in the Beaux-Arts quarter and keeps the taps running to 01:00 every night, a neighbourhood brewpub rather than a centre-city bar.
OrderHouse-brewed beer and simple plates
TipIt sits north of the boulevards near Place des Beaux-Arts, a ten-minute walk from Comedie.
Le Détour brews on Rue du Pasteur Jean Cadier in Montpellier and pours through Le Réservoir, the taproom it shares with two other city brewers.
OrderWhichever Le Détour keg is pouring at the shared taproom, from the wheat to the smoked porter.
TipThe brewery shop is by appointment only; the beer is easier to find on tap at Le Réservoir.
