The restaurant offers delicious food in a trendy converted warehouse setting. Be sure to check out their weekly specials and catch a live band in the band room afterwards!

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!

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.

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.<br/ <br/ 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.<br/ <br/ 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.<br/ <br/ A definite must and I would love to come back during the day too as the front bar is nice and cosy.

Not my regular scene but was there for a concert. Food and drink prices were reasonable but I am not used to having a surcharge on a debit card. The queue to get drinks at the bar was sometimes mixed up with the queue to get into the theatre. They were ticking people off manually by name and not by scanning tickets which meant it was slow to get in to the theatre. It was very cramped in the theatre, maybe oversold a little bit.

Beautiful location, excellent food and great entertainment

Watched Laufey here. She's got a spectacular voice and the venue's sound engineering did it justice. Food before the show hit the spot as well! Chicken parmigiana, karaage and salad all good!
