As comfy as a night on the couch in your jammies, this pub offers plenty of quiet corners, soft couches and board games to boot.
The Alderman is a top place to drop in for a drink on your way home. But beware; you may end up staying long past dinnertime.
This pub has lots of quiet spaces where you can take time out, read the paper in peace, have a chat or play a board game or two. Located in one of Brunswick's bustling little pockets, The Alderman also lets you entertain the idea of fobbing off cooking at home altogether; it's easy enough to refuel at one of the local restaurants and cafes, which are a short dart's throw away.
The front bar features polished wooden veneer benches, making it an ideal headquarters for lazy drinking sessions with mates. Kick back, share some long necks of Coopers or maybe strike up a conversation with the owner.
The soft and inviting couches in the area next door make it feel like a living room. Bunker down next to the open fire during winter, order a bottle of the Shadowfax Pinot Gris and play Scrabble, Boggle or Yahtzee.
In summer, trot out the back into the verdant beer garden and soak up the warm evening weather over a game of darts. Team this with a large gin and tonic made with Juniper Green Organic Gin for the ultimate summer evening combo.
