The Penny Black


Why you'll love The Penny Black

  • With several event spaces able to accommodate from 20 to 950 guests.
  • Equipped with AV facilities, a number of vintage arcade games and plenty of cosy corners.
  • Flexible and affordable event packages.

Penny’s has long been a staple pub of Brunswick - live music, a huge beer garden and a familiar atmosphere. And it’s familiar, sure, but there’s been enough change to give it its own, new identity - perfect for events large and small. Tex-mex food influences meld with our history as a grungy rock’n’roll pub, permeating through our overall feel, fit-out and menu. We’re cosy but cool. Edgy but approachable. Come check us out.
