If you find yourself moseying on down Sydney Road one fine arvo, evening or early morning (which is typical occurrence with this place), you’ll be sure to stumble upon The Brunswick Hotel. This place contains one of the best beer gardens the suburb has on offer – the massive space, which features a brand-spanking new outdoor bar, regularly plays host to a free selection of live music and DJs who can be heard from waaaaay down the road.
The beer garden’s BBQ facilities beckons locals to the venue for an ultimate weekend drinkathon, while the pub’s chilled out vibes means you’ll end up spending way more hours in the beer garden than you’d ever anticipated. The best part of the Brunny? Regardless of what time you roll into the joint, there’s always something happening to entertain you, whether it be the live music, the free flowing beer or Big Buck Hunter. It’s conveniently located on the cusp of Barkley Square too, so you can head on over after you realise supermarket shopping ain’t a fun thing to do on a Sunday afternoon, and drinking in a killer beer garden with your mates is a far better option.
THE BRUNSWICK HOTEL 140 Sydney Rd, Brunswick is open 4pm to 3am Monday to Thursday; 4pm to 5am Fridays, 12pm to 5am Saturdays, 12pm to 1am Sundays.
