Brunswick venue in a converted woolshed, with a garden bar, DJs out front and local indie and electronic bands in the back room.

Howler is a converted woolshed in Brunswick, with a large open front room that leads into a smaller bar, a performance space at the back and a garden bar with hanging plants. Broadsheet describes local indie, electronic and experimental bands out the back and DJs through a sound system out front.

Songkick lists gigs here through 2026, including Skunkhour on 13 November. Broadsheet's page dates from 2023 and shows only a Wednesday opening of 17:00 to 23:00, so check the listing for each night's hours. Not for you if you want a polished room: it is a warehouse-style space with a changing line-up.
