The venue’s precursor, The Brunswick Artists’ Bar, launches tonight!
There’s been a fair bit of news coming out of The Spotted Mallard camp in 2020. In May, the beloved Sydney Road live music venue was put up for sale, and after it was sold in the months following, it got rebranded under the new name, The Brunswick Ballroom.
This happened largely under wraps, with a change to the venue’s Facebook name the only real tangible evidence of the shift. Since then, more information on what’s happening down at 314 Sydney Road has come to light and we’ve been advised that The Brunswick Ballroom will enjoy its official launch in February.
