It ain’t easy going through the motions as you traverse the insanity of city life. You can easily drown in your daily rituals and commitments as you pursue a life of meaning, of purpose. But you need not lose yourself in the process. And sometimes, all you need to do to regain ground is a ridiculous night out with friends.
Divided into two parts, this blog features notable bars in Brunswick East you just have to visit for a much-needed pick-me-up.

Take your pick among the many nooks you can hang out in at the bar: there’s a leather booth at the front, a huge courtyard at the back, and a pool table in the shed. There is something for everyone at Atticus Finch.
