�Merry Christmas�
thankyou for saving a space for me and a few friends to share in my baby incubation! we had a lovely time and as always your staff are super friendly and food was yummy!!
Had a top time here and can't wait to return, few mates and our partners had an awesome experience and James from behind the bar had a great personality ... will be back
My new favourite! Fantastic atmosphere, the friendliest and most helpful staff in Melbourne! Beautiful beer garden too.
Great venue, excellent tunes and eclectic decor,..
Super cool pub with great Jazz musicians: Michelle Nicole, Paul Williamson, Frank, Sam Le Mann, ect... Love your guys. Thanks for the great Thursday nights.
Great beergarden, band and atmosphere!.
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.
I love the green. Good selection of drinks at decent prices, good service from friendly bar staff, lots of comfy and relaxed seating, fireplace in winter and the terrific beer garden for the warmer weather. Great place to relax with friends for a drink.
You'll KNOW you're in Brunswick when you're here. The Green is a cool place to go if you like seeing ultra-local talent. It's not just musos, but other performing artists, not all of whom are ready for prime time. But hey, it's cheap and who needs lots of polish all the time? I rate it with the Spotted Mallard as one of those places to go if you're really into the Brunshipster vibe. There's an "eye-kitsching" collection of weird stuff on the walls. You might feel like you're drunk even before you sample some of the alcohol. Good selection of wines by the glass in a joint that looks like it would be more a beer-and-cocktails place.
Brunswick's best pub!!. A great quirky trendy pub that will totally surprise you.
From the front it is a converted shop front, once inside though pass through to the back past walls of rock stars, postcards, spoons, clogs and so much more to a cosy open fire where red wine suits best on a cold night.
Step out the back and find a large beer garden best suited to sun and pints of beer!
The home of Brunswick Bitter in my opinion and a pub that can not be missed.
Check out my YouTube video on the Brunswick Green over at PozmanTV.
Cool place. Really cool bar in Brunswick, good music and drinks
Friendly!. The Brunswick Green staff are fantastically friendly - always ready to greet you as soon as you step in the door. A great vibe, fab couches to lounge about on, a nice sprawling beer garden, interesting acts on, and a limited but satisfying menu. Ate a burger here last night with a friend, and left happy and full!
Perfect pub atmosphere. Excellent fit-out inside and perfect beer garden; the place has culture and character, so much better than the over-renovated and modernised pubs taking over. Whoever decides the music playlist has the best taste on Sydney road (although i'll concede this may be subjective).
Great choice of beer and cider. Heaps of indoor & heated outdoor seating. Reviews whinging about smokers and rude staff are lame & both should be glassed.
Winter warmers. Brunswick Green currently offering warm cider (Rekorderlig Winter Cider) - delicious for winter
Great atmosphere. I really like this place. Wonderful atmosphere. Great staff. Bring the repellant however if you are prone to mossie bites (the garden bit is lovely - but attracts mossies).
I love the place!! very relaxing, friendly service, Food are not too bad. I don't like some bars and pubs where music are too loud. It's the best place for catching up with friends for chat:)
Relaxed atmosphere. Really enjoyed the brunswick green last weekend
sydney road offers a couple of nice places and the BG is one of the more relaxed ones. music is great, not too loud (allowing you to have a conversation without yelling at the person next to you) and also appealing to a bit of an older audience.
beer garden area is nice, food is ok.
A cool hangout. I feel old saying that I prefer this joint to the Retreat, but this venue is much more relaxed but not because an older crowd hangs out here. Good range of drinks (in bottle), ample space so that you aren't shoulder to shoulder. Order in pizzas as the evening grows longer, and chill out by the water feature.
Great courtyard. A great spot for a sunny day. The calamari is always fresh and tender.
Veggie friendly pub food! Yay!. I was dubious, but needn't have been. I had the leek and fetta pie here the other day and it was sooooo yummy. Also - cheap drinks to wash it down! The food was cheap too. And the service was friendly. For the pub style of the place I really haven't been able to fault it on any fronts thus far. Definitely going back for a mid-week feed and a drink as regularly as I possibly can.
Best pub courtyard renovation in Brunswick. The brunswick green goes from strength to strength. They must have a good staff hiring policy because over the years I've visited the changing staff have always been hands down the most friendly & easy going in the area. The courtyard renovation makes summer drinking in Brunswick super enjoyable, only thing missing is the old pool tables???
Cool place. Some of the drinks could be cheaper, eg. the Swedish Cider at $12/bottle is a bit stupid when its $6 at IGA down the road! Bit of an excessive mark-up!
Great outdoor beer garden area. Music is lazy and great atmosphere on weekdays. Friendly staff. Food ok. Cash only payment.
Seafood.... The battered calamari with wasabi mayo is pretty incredible, especially with a cider and a nice li'l jazz band playing accompaniment.
Eating just interupts the drinking. What a cool place..... I know it's been around for a while but only recntly introduced to me by a friend, super friendly owners, happy staff, cold beer...... food what food?
Potential. A bit of a brief menu but expected since you'd go here more for the nice surrounds and a drink. One of the maybe two Vego options, I tried the Tofu wrap served on a bed of greens and chips. Nice dressing and fresh greens but the chips were tepid and I would have preferred the wrap to be something other than dry Pita bread. My friend seemed to enjoy the Fish and Chips.
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
