About The Rocket Society

A cozy Brunswick East hangout pairing turntable tunes and low-intervention pours with Lebanese-inspired barbecue mezze. Born from the kitchen behind Rumi, this pocket-sized bar swaps tired charcuterie boards for toasted sesame flatbread, smoky mushroom-capped hummus, and barramundi wings kissed by charred lime. By day, drop by for lunch counter wraps—stuffed with crispy falafel, parsley, and tahini—before settling in for an evening date over glowing skewers and cocktails.

  • Lebanese Barbecue Mezze: Charcoal skewers, barramundi wings, and sesame flatbread served alongside vibrant pours.
  • Daytime Sandwich Counter: Spiced falafel wraps and shredded chicken sandwiches take over from 11am to 5pm.
  • Casual Vinyl Vibes: Laid-back neighborhood energy driven by vinyl records, open windows, and friendly counter service.

  • Prompt Service for Pre-Event Neighborhood Bites

    The venue accommodates swift neighborhood stops, plating up freshly prepared mezze and house bread promptly when guests need a quick bite before an evening movie.

    Did ask the waiters if we could get served promptly as our movie was going to start soon and they managed to get it out in no time.

  • Vinyl Tunes and Intimate Neighborhood Ambience

    An intimate record selection, warm lighting, and tuned playlists create an inviting musical backdrop for evening unwind sessions.

    Stumbled upon this stunning little space, immediately the atmosphere and music pulled us in. Drinks and food options are absolutely divine and perfect for a light but delicious and flavourful snack with a drink.

  • Barramundi wing

    I am so glad we had it, it was extremely tender, deliciously marinated, and the lime (which was charred!!! So fun) added a zingy tang to it.
