Loved this place from the get go, and we were fortunate to have our wedding here this year and it was totally amazing!
Highly recommend a visit to the Brunswick Mess Hall � Beautiful building with stunning decor, delicious food at a very reasonable price, amazing bar and drinks menu, divine staff! LOVE xx
We had our wedding at the Mess Hall after many great date nights & delicious food convinced us it was the perfect venue.
Amy and Jacqui the event coordinators were so lovely, good fun and absolutely amazing at their job & made planning a wedding so easy and actually enjoyable!
The space is stunning and looked incredible with very little effort, it made for so many beautiful family photos. The food is always absolutely delicious and the staff are superstars.
There is nothing from our day we would have changed, thank you so much to everyone at the Mess Hall for helping us create our perfect wedding day!
Love the smoked duck , it’s has very tea / smoky taste ....and my company loved the pumpkin curry, which I find it’s a bit too sweet . Wine list is average , salad is refreshing.....good but not amazing . Beer and cocktail selection is big . It’s really pretty inside the dining hall . Overall it’s a good experience .
I haven't been here in a number of years, I was so pleased to pop in and give the Mess Hall another go.
Service on point, the wait staff were excellent.
My cousin and I shared the beef shin massaman curry and fried rice which were both so flavoursome. The curry had so much depth and texture, I was worried the beef would be too fatty being the shin but it wasn't at all, it was perfect.
A must visit if you are in the area.
Extremely satisfied with staff served our table. Food delicious, rice is a bit old otherwise all good!
We came on a Saturday night and the service was incredible! Despite being their busiest time, our food came to the table in record speed! Every staff member we spoke to was very nice and friendly and extremely helpful. Blown away by the speed and care taken! The food was amazing also, definitely recommend the eggplant!
Brunswick Mess Hall elicited a lot of LOVES.... I LOVE their cocktails, LOVE their baos, LOVE their chicken skewers, LOVE their beef brisket and LOVE our waiter Luke!! I have never mentioned any wait staff before but Luke made our experience highly positive and memorable. I will definitely be back.
What a groovy place! I hadn’t heard of this restaurant until I went for dinner and I’m sad I hadn’t. The food was delicious! A delightful Asian Fusion cuisine.
What we ordered:
Vegetarian Spring Rolls
Chicken Satay Bao
Chili Chicken wings 🌶 🌶
Pad Thai
Fresh Rice Noodle
The vegetarian spring rolls were crispy with an amazing filling. The filling actually included thin rice noodles which worked so well. The satay bao was a hit but sadly they were a tad too small. We’ve had plenty of bao before and always much bigger and more filling. The chili chicken wings were spicy so for the chili lovers this is one not to be missed! The sauce was sweet with a kick.
As for the mains, we opted for noodles. Both the Pad Thai and Fresh Rice Noodles were cooked beautifully and both packed with flavour. We opted sharing just one noodle bowl but seeing the size of them, we were glad we got two!
Looking forward to coming back and trying more 😃
During Jazz Week my band had take-away from the Mess Hall 3 nights in a row. I felt bad for them and wondered if they’d like something different but they didn’t. They loved the food and tonight I understood why. My absolute fave was the pumpkin in red curry . Such good strong flavours. We also ordered the tofu green curry; small serves of each but we still couldn’t get through all the food and took home the left overs. Green Paw paw salad was excellent- not too spicy and a really refreshing starter. Roti bread and peanut sauce was very addictive. We loved every dish and will happily return. The staff were also very attentive; we never felt forgotten even though we had to sit in the separate front room as the main room was full.
Tried the tofu & noodles made vegan from their food truck. Very tasty. Would be better if noodles a lil less oily tho and maybe some more veg. Would also like to see more clearly marked vegan options. I like that they didn't use plastic!
Step (halfway) inside and you'll be sitting in an exposed brick front courtyard, covered in greenery. Simply stunning. Step all the way inside, and a spacious dining area is what you'll get. The food is just bloody good. The teriyaki mackerel was so tasty (no soft bones either) and the grill beef short ribs.. Oh. My. God. The smoky flavor really came through. Please please please make your way here.
Food was delicious, the 6 of us got the banquet option, it was a lot of food, it came out quickly and was soooooo good. Cocktail menu is amazing and the staff where all really friendly. I will definitely be back 😍
Luke is THE ultimate wedding fairy and must be protected at all costs!! These days it's so rare that an event turns out even better than imagined - but our wedding celebration is something we will cherish forever thanks to Luke and the Brunswick Mess Hall team. After chatting to so many venues, going with BMH is one of THE BEST decisions we made. Through the highs and lows of many lockdowns, and with this being cancelled once before, it was amazing how Luke and his team pulled out all the stops to ensure that everything stayed as true as possible to our ideal plans. They took care of EVERYTHING and really, really considered our needs. The evening flowed super smoothly, the guests loved the food, service was great and all we had to do was just rock up and enjoy ourselves. We couldn't be more grateful. Highly highly recommend this venue.
What can I say about the Mess Hall? Venue, food, vibe of our dreams. The staff are next level amazing. We had our wedding reception here a few weeks ago & I am still dreaming about how incredible it was. Everything about the night was absolute perfection. We had rave reviews from our guests about the food. I know Luke is no longer the event manager (big, sad loss for BMH) but a huge shout out to him, as well. I cannot thank everyone involved in our reception enough. The memories we created with our friends & family the night of our wedding will remain with us, always.
I’ve driven past this place so many times wondering what was inside. Finally went last week with some friends and now I don’t know why I waited so long. Amazing Asian flavours in a great environment - can’t be beat. Really recommend the banquet if you are going with a group. We had the smaller one and it was heaps of food. Great drinks selection too. And of course, the service matched the rest of the experience. Thanks to Daniel (I think that was his name!) - so bubbly and friendly and really made us feel welcomed. You won’t regret going here!
Came here on a date, had the most amazing time! Sophie was an amazing waitress who made the dinner that little bit more wonderful. Sophie went out of their way to bring me a small spoon for my dessert. If I could give Sophie 6/5 stars, I would. Absolutely wonderful!!! Thank you, Sophie!!
We went for a last minute dinner and were served by Sophie who was nothing but lovely and super attentive. Even asked the chef to make the meal a little less spicy so I would survive! Food and drinks were delicious and fast!
Had an amazing night here with my partner. We both absolutely loved the food, the atmosphere and the wonderful staff. Hats off to our waiter Daniel who managed our table like a total pro. We will definitely be coming back again!!
Have visited here a few times with friends and family, we have all enjoyed the atmosphere and customer service. Food and drinks have been wonderful and recently had the most wonderful time with a fellow named Daniel; a kind and well dressed bartender, serves wonderful drinks with amazing quality and in short times too. Will come visit again, thank you for the wonderful experience. :)
Beautiful food and beautiful place!
The cocktails were also surprisingly enjoyable! As well as the hospitality and care from the staff, particularly a man named Daniel took care of my party and was a great host and loved the chats!
Thanks for the great experience all around.
