"The Boys B.E.E.R.S"
Attendees: Ben, Cam, Richo, Michael, Eddy, Tom
Price: $8 pint of Montieth's. Good price.
Location: 252 Brunswick St south of Johnston.
Distance: 11 min walk
Obscurity: Not obscure but dark and subdued enough to avoid any non-locals
Ambience: A DJ every night helps create a funky and relaxed atmosphere. Although could be quieter to improve the LSR (light to sound ratio). Definite couple-y vibe with all the couches.
Character: Very high. Nice textural elements from the bare brick walls and wood pieces behind the bar while a huge wall length mirror opens up the space.
Decor: It's 'happening'. A tiny bit more effort on lighting would go a long way. Indoor potted trees are a cool feature. Diggin the quirky feature wall behind the bar.
Comfort: Very comfortable for small groups however anything over 4 becomes a bit awkward with the layout of the seating. Although snag one of the larger outdoor tables and you're set! The layout of the couches in the space could be finessed a little more but is overall very comfy.
Patrons: Old school Fitzroy. Reminiscent of the Brunswick St of old. Casual, cool and relaxed.
Staff: Engaging, almost sarcastic. Friendly but maybe a bit far? Michael was a little thrown out.
Selection: Only two types of Monteith's on tap. A nice enough staple beer and quite cheap. More variety of bottled beers which are also decently priced.
Outdoor: Has a very different vibe to inside. Another great relaxed space and great for larger groups. Heaters and a planted screen give you some protection from the elements and traffic noise.
Specials: DJs on every night of the week. Open decks for the up & coming deejay.
Amenities: Scummy unisex toilets.
Top suggestion: Rethink / update inside furniture layout to include more variety of spaces and seating options.
Field notes: Discussion of new term "LSR" which has been informally brought up for some time now. Music is great and really helps the atmosphere.
Memorable quotes: "The back wall is trying to play jenga with itself" RW
"Definitely too many trendy moustaches. Check behind the bar!" MLG
"The Perseverance is just like the moth to the fucking flame." BH
Arbitrary score: 78
Great place for a catch up with a friend or two or a relaxed first date. Sink yourself into a comfy couch and enjoy a drink to some funky tunes.
