Titled after the namesake of the street it sits on, Mrs Brown's fits perfectly into alternative North Freo. Even before entering and gazing through the front window you are struck by the warmth of this place. Sitting amongst a row of old terraces this place is right at home and the locals know it. The exposed bare brickwork on your right as your enter is stunning and really adds another layer of charm to this small bar.
Billed as a wine bar, Mr's Brown's offers more than that, a good beer and spirit selection is also available as well as cocktails. We went for an Eagle Bay Brewing Co Kolsch - which is a great thirst quencher, but being light and bright is great to drink all year round. It was midweek during our visit and the place was buzzing, an amiable and sociable atmosphere and the sense of enjoyment was both infectious and palpable. The friendly and courteous staff have a good knowledge of the products on offer and provide quick and attentive service.
There is a slightly strange but very attractive mix of styles that give this small bar a unique identity. Both kitsch and chintz are great terms to describe the decor, though at the same time it doesn't feel old fashioned or outdated. The courtyard at the rear of the bar is the perfect place to spend a summers afternoon, shaded from the harsh rays of the sun whilst enjoying a nice glass of wine or a cold beer.
A huge bonus is being on the 98/99/103 bus routes and a short stroll from North Freo station meaning this bar is well connected by public transport and making that Sunday session that bit more inviting.
Peter says "It is always nice to experience a place that leaves you with a smile on your face long after you have left. Good location and great service, get yourself down there for a few drinks"
Tony says "An accommodating little bar with a real nice set up. Great little court yard that I am looking forward to using in the summer. Mrs Brown's bar is just a real nice bar to go hang out in"
