My friend and I visited recently on a Saturday night, it has been a while since I was here, so wanted to check it out again.
The bar is really nice with open space and lots of seating, there are 2 bars so the wait time for a drink is really good.
My friend ordered a mocktail and I ordered a spritz, both were made very well. I have to comment on the barman, he was so helpful. There was no cocktail or mocktail list but he assured us he knew most cocktails and he whipped up the mocktail based on what my friend liked. He was really patient and just so nice, thank you.
A definite must and I would love to come back during the day too as the front bar is nice and cosy.
Howler is my favourite venue in Brunswick. It hosts good events, serves affordable vegan food, has a pretty good beer section as well as an indoor/outdoor dining area. The vegan fried chicken is the best. Service is always great as well.
This place is great! The fitout is amazing, it’s no wonder that they’d won the architectural design award for their space. Good offering of alcoholic drinks, great bar food, friendly staff and an amazing live music room out back!
Nice food in a really cool converted warehouse space. Keep an eye out for their weekly specials and see you if you can get to the band room after for a gig!👌
Such an incredible place to hang out for some drinks and a bite!
The burgers were super yummy and the fries crunchy and thick. Their mulled cider was a delight and we simply could not stop with one..
A nice place tucked away near Brunswick baths, highly recommend!
One of the most *Brunswick* places in all of Brunswick and a great place to get a burger on a weeknight. Wish it was still $12 but $16 for a burger, fries and a pot is still pretty solid. Also one of the best live music venues in Melbourne.
The nights I can’t remember here are absolutely unforgettable. Saw my friends band play here which was real good. They were like the band I listened to heaps in my youth and I’m now 26 so it was heaps good memories.
Awesome bar, awesome atmosphere. The $12 burger nights are sensational, and the wagyu beef burger was absolutely delicious! Do yourself a favour and get the creamy slaw as a side (delicious!). Friendly staff, great food, great beer = great night!
My favourite tofu burger is here! Great vibes at this bar. Love the chips aswell, great portion! Cheese burger was also really good! They give out big portions but also satisfying the taste buds
Oh god, The Howler was a Christmas miracle! The $15 chicken burger, chips and pot meal deal was out-bloody-standing! I’ve never been so satisfied with such a large burger at such a cheap price! Definite recommendation!
Fabulous place to have a drink and have a chat with your friends. It’s got nice atmosphere and environment. Drinks are so tasty as well. I ordered a cocktail 🍹 with staff choice which was amazing. Staff are so friendly and helpful. It couldn’t be my first choice to have burger. However, Royal burger 🍔 was much better that Wagyu burger.
Thanks 😊
Wonderful experience here. Went to watch The Elvis Big Band and it was amazing!! Loved it. The Howler was a wonderful venue and had lovely staff. The food looked amazing. Definitely would go back!
Great venue. Great service. Wasn’t a fan of the smoking area very close to the non smoking but it’s one bar in Brunswick that doesn’t charge through the roof for craft beers. Band room was fab but some of the equipment might need updating as there was a lot of reverb and crackly sounds coming from the instrument and speakers at times. Was great it wasn’t overcrowded too and that there’s toilets and a bar in there. Great night
Tried their sweet potato fries, normal fries and veg cheese balls. As I don't drink alcohol, I was loading up on side dishes and have to say they were very yummy. My friends loved the chicken side dish as well :) Good ambience to catch up with friends and socialize. Plus it's very close to the RMIT University, Brunswick campus.
Lovely smaller venue with great vibes and sound for gigs. Very appealing well-aired bar area too.
Amazing place to see your favourite artists. Cheap beers and excellent cocktails. Great place to share with friends
Love live gigs at Howler. Staff are ace too!
Good, just good. Tasty grub, crafty beer, cool vibe, great gigs. What more could you want?
