Why you stayIt certainly looks like a bar. A good one, too. Step inside the backstreet Brunswick warehouse and you’ll find something that looks like an old-time French salon, decked out in moody teal walls, gilt-framed mirrors, ornamental birdcages and extravagant displays of dried botanicals. If the team is trying to convert people to a teetotalling way of life, or just a teetotalling evening, it’s a good start. On the drinks front, there’s enough substance here to mean Brunswick Aces isn’t just for Dry July. The staff know their stuff. There are plenty of authentic bar sounds (shaking, muddling, stirring and all the rest). And there’s plenty of advice available when you’re deciding what flavour of the cocktail spectrum to go for, whether that’s sweet, tart, sour or bitter. Just like regular drinkers, only – not.
