The secrets out about this hidden gem which has long been a haven for locals.

Editorial


The Brunswick Green can be easily missed and this probably suits the regulars just fine. In fact, the locals try to keep it a clandestine affair, not letting on until newcomers to the area have proved themselves. If you are among the chosen few, be warned, this place is addictive. Whether it's the kitsch 70's Op Shop pictures throughout or the dark tranquility, it's easy to feel at home here. It's especially appealing when needing to escape the hustle of Sydney Road.

The cosy front bar and adjoining lounge are very conducive to 'deep and meaningfuls' with friends over a bottle of red. In summer the action all happens outside. The beer garden is like any backyard in Brunswick - if they came with picnic tables and umbrellas, that is. A purpose-built stage elevates the live bands who play throughout the week and weekends. While tables abound, there's also a decent patch of grass to luxuriate on. The pool table is often commandeered by student types early on in the evening, so be prepared for some serious challenging to get a game in.

If feeling a little peckish, the food from Rolfy's Kitchen is above average. In fact, the sausage rolls, (yes, sausage rolls), are a particular crowd pleaser.

Staff are friendly and helpful. I have been many times and they are all always lovely. No coffee but happy to go next door and get one, how more helpful can they be than that?

Love this place, only cash, but there is an atm down the road. Staff are definitely not rude. Just a great place to relax with friends without any pretentiousness. On a busy night, be prepared to line up for the loo.
