# Ramblin' Man

> Ramblin' Man is an independent craft beer bar, cocktail bar and bottle shop at 76 Lygon Street, Brunswick East, in Melbourne's inner north (Victoria, Australia). It pours rotating local craft beer, its own Lygon Street Lager and Ramblin' Beer collaboration brews, makes classic and house cocktails, lets you drink anything from its bottle shop fridges on site for a small corkage fee, and has a dog-friendly beer garden and a kitchen serving burgers and fried chicken sandos.

Ramblin' Man opened in November 2022. It is a relaxed neighbourhood local with 70s and 80s retro styling, started by six mates as a passion project. It is not a nightclub or a restaurant: drinks come first, and the kitchen, added in 2026, serves food made to go with them. The venue is operated by Ramblin' Group Pty Ltd (ABN 62 649 946 145) under Victorian Liquor Licence No. 31954236.
