“East Brunswick Hotel is a curious mix. It strikes me as a place that juggles a lively public bar - complete with dueling pianos - with more intimate experiences, like private cellar dining. Location is prime, with immediate access to East Brunswick's social scene and Melbourne's attractions, but be warned that late-night revelry might impact your sleep.”
