Book NowAbout The Lomond Hotel
The Lomond Hotel delivers an unvarnished slice of classic pub culture where live bands, honest banter, and cold beer hold court. Affectionately dubbed "the Lowey," this Brunswick East institution runs on unpretentious warmth. regulars strike up conversations across the front bar and might even buy your next pint. The floor plan branches into distinct pockets, so you can settle in by the stage or slip away into the bistro room for an unhurried catch-up. While live sets pull a dedicated crowd, the kitchen holds its own with hearty pub plates. Regulars lean toward the juicy chicken parma, fragrant green curry packed with broccoli, and comforting bread and butter pudding.
- Multi-Room Live Music Pub: Intimate band sets draw dedicated crowds to the front bar, while quieter bistro rooms allow dining away from the music.
- Country Pub Community: A neighborhood fixture where friendly staff and regulars make newcomers feel immediately at home over cold tap beer.
- Substantial Comfort Fare: Reliable kitchen classics spanning juicy chicken parmas, vegetable-loaded green curry, and warm bread and butter pudding.

Before you head over
Practical planning advice for gigs, dining zones, and arrival
Arrive Early for Stage Views
During popular live gigs the venue fills up quickly and space near the stage becomes tight, so arrive early if you want an unobstructed view of the band.
Pick the Bistro to Dine Away from Bands
If you plan to have dinner away from the performance noise, head to the separate bistro area or side rooms where you can eat comfortably without being in the middle of the band crowd.
Rear and Street Parking Options
Parking is available directly at the rear of the pub as well as throughout the surrounding neighborhood streets.
