Overview
Looking for a place to kick back this long weekend? Brunswick Street Cider House has you covered. The Fitzroy bar is opening a picket-fenced pop-up cider garden, complete with music, dining and plenty of things to sip.
Set up behind the bar’s regular premises at 386-388 Brunswick St, the cider garden will operate Saturday through Monday, giving you ample opportunity to relax and enjoy the sunshine. The backyard tavern will include six beers and ciders on tap – just a sample of the more than two dozen available inside. There will also be a food stall slinging slow cooked pork rolls, served right off the red hot spit.
The temporary space will also play a key role in AusFest 2015, the bar's annual Australia Day celebration. For $28, ticketholders get their own personal stein filled to the brim upon arrival, with $10 refills on offer. You'll also get a free pork roll, plus a serving of apple crumble with vanilla ice cream and crème anglaise. Vegan options are also available.
The bar will be blasting triple j’s Hottest 100 throughout the day, because of course they will be. Alternatively, there'll be DJs and live bongos in the cider hall downstairs.
