13.5/20Critics' PickUpdated October 8, 2026,first published October 27, 2025A vibey bar and bottle-o spinning Da Paulo pizza and vinyl records.The lo-fi sibling neighbour of Old Palm Liquor is dark, loud and always up for a good time. The food offering is brief but effective with pop-up pizzaiolo Kit Iacuzi of Da Paolo now a resident behind the bar, serving puffy-based, four-slice marvels using a portable electric oven and 48-hour fermented dough.Of the half-a-dozen vegetarian-leaning combinations, our pick is the white-based gamberi, loaded with prawns, garlic, fior di latte and punchy chilli sauce. There’s also a classic margherita, umami-rich mushroom, fiery amatriciana, plus a handful of snacks on crackers and – surprisingly – an Oscietra caviar service.Booze is, unsurprisingly, a drawcard, whether it’s great-value options from cult producers such as Koerner and Little Reddie, or spirits, beers and skinsy wines from near and far listed across 48 pages. The very-Brunswick-East crowd often spills onto the street, like a house party you never want to leave.Good to know: BG sells one-litre bottles of natural wine – ‘bright reds’, ‘skinzies’ and ‘rizzas’ – to take away for just $22 a piece.
