Overview
Welcome to Brunswick is a sprawling, open-air beer garden and events venue bringing local flavour, grassroots hospitality, and serious fun to the lively heart of Sydney Road. Built on the success of its northside sibling, Welcome to Thornbury, this newer iteration carries the same energetic DNA while channelling Brunswick’s creative, eco-conscious, and musical spirit.
At its core, the venue is a celebration of local culture. It features a rotating line-up of Melbourne's favourite food trucks, offering diverse, affordable eats—think Korean fried chicken, woodfired pizzas, dumplings, or plant-based tacos. Drinks are proudly sourced with a local-first ethos, featuring an excellent selection of independent craft brews, wines, and seasonal cocktails, all served from a sleek bar housed inside an old converted warehouse.
The space is massive, pet-friendly, and designed for all-weather hangs with open-air seating, shaded nooks, heaters, and greenery everywhere. Whether you're meeting mates for beers under the string lights, catching live DJs, or belting out tunes at a themed trivia night, Welcome to Brunswick caters to every kind of night out—from low-key to rowdy.
What truly sets it apart is its community-first approach. From sustainability efforts like composting and minimal plastic use to inclusive event programming that champions diversity, the venue is as mindful as it is fun.
Whether you're stopping by on a lazy Sunday arvo or kicking off a Friday night crawl, Welcome to Brunswick is your all-in-one destination for music, mates, munchies, and more.
