Fantastic pub with awesome staff. Beautiful beer garden. There is no better place in Brunswick! ���
amazing place to chill! live music is a must and child friendly!!! YAY!
Most of the staff are rude, for instance we went on a Sunday few weeks ago and some guy with long hair and an accent asked my mate to turn his hat around?? He said it was an unwritten rule.. he was very rude about it numerous times, yet others had ridiculous hats on, we drank here once a week till this happened.. so this guy lost your business couple hundred bucks a week from our group.. Other then that great bar and lay out, needs louder music outside though..
Old school Brunswick. Well not as old school as the families and odd balls that settled here many decades ago but good enough for me. Grungy, retro with a good selection of beer, great tunes and good crowd. Love coming in here coz it's not pretentious at all and it's still my kind of cool.
The best pub in Brunswick, with a gorgeous green garden. Even can't find a table in the garden, so we have to sit inside. Even though, love the phenomenon there.
Come here for the gorgeous beer garden. The bar from the outside can seem a little shabby and unassuming, but don't judge a book by its cover. Love coming here for a chill night to drink a couple of ciders (decent selection, too) and catch up with friends. There are outdoor heaters above tables too which is great for cooler nights.
Lots to look at in this quirky bar, chilled vibes, and an array of drinks to choose from. Convenient location near trams and train station on Sydney Rd.
Depends what you're here for. I love the range of beers, always some sort of limited edition craft beer to try and it's a lovely place to grab a drink with friends. Food however is not great. It's cheap and good sized meals, just pretty bland and average. But the staff are lovely and it's a great place
Hands down the best pub in Brunswick. I love this place. The staff are super nice, the beer garden is lush and green and wonderful. Every time I go there I make friends. I've made so many friends there! My best friend and I love this place to bits, and will be loyal weekly customers for as long as we or they are around. Prices are very decent and the food is solid decent pub food, nothing fancy but good tucker and inexpensive.
This is a Brunswick institution. Civilized drinking with civilized patrons in a well presented casual setting. You're not a local unless you've been to the Green. No hoo-ha here, just pleasantry and cool live music on some evenings
Such an understated facade truly deceives this place's pleasant energy. A quirky interior with comfortable plush furnishings opens onto a spacious beer garden, which is always busy but retains a feeling of intimacy as benches are spaced nicely. Food on offer is simple but well done, would recommend the mushroom burger.
Only place in Melbourne I specifically visit for the best Pear Cider! Definitely an iconic place in Brunswick with awesome collection of memorabilia of all sorts! Great for a date night. Interior includes a fancy fireplace and comfortable seating. Service is great! The bartenders are always knowledgeable and accommodating. Will be in again soon, for sure.
Love the gigs they had there. Astrovillain was the best this Wednesday night. I hope we get to see more of them at the Retreat.
Didn't have dinner there, but the menu looked really exciting to me. Will try some sometime.
Good place to go for a drink and catch up with friends < 33
Great place, top notch beer garden but you have to know your time slots.
Quiet beers and a catch up: during the day.
At night it turns into a social club in the best way.
All in the name of the place - every time I come to the retreat I wonder how I got here. The lovely beer garden out back and booths near the bars give life to this place, which is good because I die inside whenever I come here. I love to hate this place but it will always manage to invite my soul.
We ate a simple meal in the bar, on a perfectly ordinary Thursday, and both the food and the beer (a Belgian IPA) were superb. It’s a rare combination in Brunswick. Great service! Get the chips!
My friend organised her birthday party here at the Amelia Shaw Bar and it was awesome! Great service and Kerry was very helpful. An absolute legend.
Quiz night is great, good prices, decent food. Got drunk left my bag there and they kept it till morning. Would recommend
