Why you'll love Hotel Railway Brunswick

  • Historic building with unique spaces
  • Reasonably priced F&B featuring your usual pub classics

Brunswick’s Railway Hotel has been a north-side institution for nearly 140 years. The many past lives and stories told across the front bar have embedded this place into locals hearts. The old local is set to become the new local, once again. The new Hotel Railway offers modern Brunswick a place to perch from afternoon until late. Entering the public bar through a Victorian-era hallway, you’ll see distinct areas, all filled with natural light. The centrepiece is a striking 20-metre recycled brick bar. The beer garden offers a serene escape from the bustle of the city, featuring comfortable seating, lush greenery, and an inviting atmosphere perfect for socialising. As you unwind with a craft beer or a signature cocktail, the sound of laughter and clinking glasses creates a warm and welcoming ambience. With a variety of seating options from cosy booths to high-top tables, every guest can find their perfect spot to relax and enjoy.

Paying homage to Brunswick's migrant past, the food menu is filled with Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Southern European flavours, complemented by a curated drink list with more than 50 wine labels, specialty and classic cocktails, 12 beers on tap and an extensive selection of local vermouth. But the charm of Hotel Railway Brunswick doesn't just stop at its historical ambience and tantalising menu. The venue offers a variety of spaces tailored for different gatherings, whether you’re catching up with friends, celebrating a special occasion, or just winding down after a long day. The light-filled, spacious dining room is complete with a working fireplace and large table options to suit large get-togethers. Your private events can be hosted in their intimate function room, which provides a cosy environment that encourages conversation and connection.

We visited on Friday evening and the place was full of happy vibes. The staff were super friendly, which made the night even better. Such a lovely memory for us😍 We ordered the 250g Yarra Valley Rump and the Pan-Fried Snapper. The food took a bit of time to come out, but it was totally worth the wait. The steak sauce matched perfectly with the meat, and the salad was fresh and tasty. The snapper was warm and, although it looked a bit small, it was surprisingly filling. We also joined the Friday meat raffle – unfortunately, we didn’t win, but it was still a lot of fun and added to the friendly, cheerful atmosphere. Highly recommend making a booking if you plan to come on a Friday👍🏻

Came in late Thursday night (8:30) for a steak special. Towards end of trade but the steak was excellent. We ordered the steaks medium rare and it came out perfectly tender. Also had the brookvale gingerbeer and lemon lime bitters both were delicious. We opted for mushroom sauce for one of the steaks (at an added cost) and it was a creamy and flavourful accompaniment. The steak and chips were both seasoned perfectly and the salad well dressed. Would return for the saturday steak special. Great venue for a feed or drink

Food was decent, however the $12 bowl of chips could best be described as pathetic. Incredibly disproportionate price to plate ratio for the chips which were simply average, nothing special, not bad. Simply confusing. They did bring out a ‘top up’ after questioned, which was roughly an extra 1/3 of the original bowl. Puzzling to say the least, not sure the hesitation on just filling the bowl with chips, not exactly gonna break the bank. Othwerwise meals and service were decent.

Lovely day watching the footy on the big screen in the beer garden for my 1st visit to the hotel.The bar man was very welcoming.The service very prompt. The mixed roast,alcoholic lemonade were delicious. I look forward to going back.

I love Hotel Railway but their serving sizes are embarrassing. $12 for the most minimal portion of chips is poor! I thought it was maybe a once off but went again today and saw others getting the same serving size as we did a couple of weeks ago. It really lets the place down.
