The Lomond Hotel

Bio:

The Lomond Hotel is located on the north-west corner of Nicholson Street and Blyth Street, Brunswick East. Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It opened in 1888 as the Albert Hotel (after Prince Albert), and was renamed Lomond Hotel in the 1930s. At the time of its construction, the area was sparsely populated, however a land-boom was quickly sweeping the area. Early patrons came from the nearby Butler's Brickyard, and is still a much loved venue of the working people. Its extremely relaxed and friendly, much in the style of the country family pub. Patrons come from every corner of the globe, and it is common for painters and brickies to be sharing the bar with famous actors, Sea Shepherd's anti-whaling crew, local and international musicians, and music lovers from all walks of life. There is a strong sense of community and support... and one of the last musician's pub left in Melbourne. There is always time for the song at the Lomond. There is also an impressive wine list and a mouth watering menu open for lunch and dinner that caters from bangers and mash to the gourmet end of the spectrum. For general enquiries please phone James on (03) 9380 1752 or drop in to visit us at 225 Nicholson Street, Brunswick East. The Lomond Hotel is owned and operated by the Neagle family.

Reviews: "An unpretentious friendly pub with live music (jazz, folk & acoustic) and very good food in the restaurant area as well as good sized counter meals at the bar. Slightly older (30+) crowd. I've been to the Lomond many times during the last ten years and have enjoyed myself every time. NB. If you have kids, the soft drinks are free!" Jenee, Princes Hill .. With live music as the drawcard, two things are assured: expect things to be busy, and expect things to be noisy. It all takes place in a relatively cosy environment though, with a semi-family feel. The crowd's relatively eclectic: young, old, blue collar, white collar.

Jenee, Princes Hill, 08/04 The Lomond is perfectly located. Situated opposite 3RRR, the potential for bumping into a musician or 3 is high! The pub enjoys an eclectic mix of patrons and you really feel comfortable whether you're a young hip Brunswick thing or a more experienced patron of life. You'll see brickies next to trendies next to beardies. There really is no sense of dress-code or exclusivity. The music there is absolutely first class, and the food is pretty good too - haven't eaten in the bistro yet, but the pub meals are reasonably priced and sized. Claire, Brunswick, 09/08 Our first encounter with the Lomond Hotel was during the black Saturday bushfire appeals. There were approximately 13 or so bands playing throughout the day. We had a great time!!! That evening we decided to go into the bistro and have dinner. Since that night we have been back on numerous occasions taking with us family or recommending friends. We had a large gathering of 14 there one night with people from Italy and America who are working out here joining us, they loved it and have since been back without us with their friends. So need I say any more. The food is out of this world for a pub. The atmosphere is cozy and homely.
