Time Out says

Hotel Railway in Brunswick has lived many lives, and now this much-loved watering hole has entered a brand new era.

It was recently taken over by the Riverland Group, which has given it a slick refresh and injected new life into the historic venue. But the heart of what makes this iconic pub remains: quality pub grub, beers on tap, footy on the big screens and a welcoming atmosphere.

The menu features all the pub classics, with some Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours sprinkled in. We're talking parmas, burgers and steaks (obvs), plus yummy, flavour-packed dishes like sumac-roasted heirloom carrots, kingfish ceviche and popcorn fried chicken. You can grab a Sunday roast with Yorkshire pud and all the trimmings for $30, and a double serving of steak and chips for just $39 on Saturdays. Yum!

Trivia takes place on Tuesday nights at 7pm, the beer garden is the place to be on sunny arvos and happy hour runs from 4-7pm on Tuesday to Friday – that's when you can score selected pints, wines, spirits and Spritzes for $10. And there are DJs spinning tunes on Friday and Saturday nights.

Whether you're a Brunswick local or simply keen to soak up the community spirit at Hotel Railway, everyone's welcome in for a froff. Head to the website for more info.
