Lion is celebrating the 25th anniversary of Western Australian craft beer Little Creatures with a $10 million transformation of its Fremantle home.

Located on Fremantle’s stunning Fishing Boat Harbour, the new Little Creatures Fremantle venue is at 42 Mews Road, close to its iconic Great Hall. The revamped space will span two levels, offering breathtaking views and inviting guests to enjoy a variety of immersive dining and tasting experiences.

Construction is expected to begin this month, with a grand reopening planned ahead of the busy summer season.

Lion Field Sales Director Danny Connolly said: “Little Creatures has been a part of the fabric of Fremantle for the past 25 years, and this significant investment marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the brand.

“The project honours Little Creatures’ legacy while offering fresh new features aimed at delighting guests and drawing new energy into the Fremantle dining and entertainment precinct.”

Mayor of Fremantle Hannah Fitzhardinge said: “A new venue directly on the Fremantle harbour waterfront is very welcome, and we’re thrilled Little Creatures can remain at their original site. This new space for Little Creatures will provide locals and tourists with an inviting place to enjoy some of the best views, beers and hospitality in WA.”

The Brewhouse will serve as the new tasting room, offering tours, merchandise and a beer school. A redesigned kitchen and bar area will streamline service, and the refreshed menu will continue to showcase Little Creatures’ offerings, including wood-fired pizzas, rotisseries, open flamed grills and innovative new dishes that pair with the brewery’s signature ales.

The new venue’s design will blend Fremantle’s coastal and industrial heritage. Little Creatures will use local, sustainable timber to create a warm, rustic atmosphere, reflecting the brand’s commitment to quality and sustainability.

The construction and design of the venue will be managed by Dundee Rock, a 100% Aboriginal-owned builder, with the collaboration highlighting Little Creatures’ ongoing commitment to diversity and sustainability.
