New Brew Tavern

This was once my local on the shore! I’ve watched this bar transform over the years and how it is now is the best I’ve seen it. It’s a bit of a working man’s bar. But either way a really good spot on a Friday and Saturday night. They have some amazing live bands which really get the punters moving. The interior décor is funky and old in design/​look. The bar staff are friendly and take the time to chat to you which is refreshing. They have a small court yard area out front which is okay but sadly misses a lot of the sun due to the massive canopy they have over the front. They also have a few big screens set up for sports which is great and handy when you want to watch the game. Great little spot for a casual drink and some bar food. Worth checking out.

Bring on ‘Trivial Pursuit’, ‘Who wants to be a millionaire’ and ‘Weakest Link’; I will win, I know everything. Or so I thought anyway. My general knowledge is great, and I’m a formidable force in any general knowledge quiz, plus expert level in sport and geography. This is all great for fun with family and friends, but as soon as you widen the competition, the more difficult the questions become.
Joining some friends, we entered a quiz team for the Tuesday quiz nights at New Brew Bar in Rosedale. The questions are far removed from your general quizzes, these guys are professional, and they prepare a good night’s entertainment. The questions are tough, and you need a well balanced team to answer from the variety of testers.
Our team consisted of a chef, a writer, a traveller and two sports fans. This came in handy, but we were still left reeling when it came to naming Lindsay Lohan’s exes. Darn, they make it tough, and our formidable team finished a respectable third. Not bad for a first night out, considering the regulars have teams much bigger than ours.
New Brew is a great spot to enjoy after work drinks, or simply enjoy a night out with friends.
