Overview
The Union Hotel Brunswick has quietly earned its stripes as a favourite among inner-north locals. Behind its humble red-brick exterior lies a surprisingly expansive venue that mixes old-school pub hospitality with modern touches. It’s a pub that does a bit of everything — and does it well.
Its front bar is warmly inviting, complete with timber accents, big-screen TVs, and an easygoing buzz that draws in regulars day and night. Step further in and you’ll find the heart of the Union: an open-air beer garden with plenty of seating, lush greenery, and covered sections for year-round comfort — perfect for lazy afternoons or packed Friday nights.
On tap, the Union showcases an ever-changing rotation of craft beers alongside beloved staples, with a drinks menu that caters to both hop-heads and casual drinkers. Their wine list and cocktail range are tight but thoughtful, offering solid options for non-beer lovers.
Entertainment is a strong point too. Sports fans are covered with big screens showing AFL, soccer, and major events, while the backroom often hosts live music and DJs — always keeping the energy flowing. It’s Brunswick through and through: unpretentious, inclusive, and built for a good time.
