The Populist Bomontiada

It's been a few years since the neighbourhood’s culinary and cultural hub Bomontiada opened its doors inside the old Bomonti beer factory, whose storied beer gardens were once at the heart of social life in the city. Bomontiada’s courtyard is somewhat of a spiritual successor to the gardens, especially during the summer when free outdoor concerts draw the crowds and the local brew flows freely in The Populist, a microbrewery and craft beer pub that’s situated on the square. The Populist’s airy ambience, exemplary bar fare and signature beers crafted by brewmaster Philip Green have made it a favourite summer destination – as you can’t make reservations for the outdoor tables, we recommend heading there as early as possible.
