Our Take
Brunswick's Foraged Cocktail Lab
Byrdi is Brunswick's most innovative cocktail bar — built around hyper-local foraged Australian ingredients with hyper-modern technique. World's 50 Best Bars regular since 2021. The 28-seat counter bar is industrial with reclaimed-wood seating and a small terrace in summer.
The bartenders forage in Victorian forests weekly for new ingredients — wattleseed, lemon myrtle, river mint, finger lime, Davidson plum. Each cocktail comes with a printed card explaining the foraging location.
Pair with Eau de Vie earlier for a classical complement.
