Mr Brownie is Four-Storeys of ’70s and ’80s Tunes and British-Indian Fare in South Melbourne. The latest from the owner of Horn Please and Daughter In Law has a bar on each eclectic level – including one on the roof with city views – with more than 1400 beers, and pét-nat on tap.
On the menu: samosa burgers, butter chicken parmas, and weekend-only curry sausage sizzles.
Singh designed the space himself, filling it with red-velvet furniture and an array of plants – all bathed in neon blue, red, green and purple lights – and playing tracks from the ’70s and ’80s.
Singh says Mr Brownie (the name is a playful spin on the tradition of naming pubs after historical European figures) is about showcasing Indian-British fare – and specifically how well curry and beer work together.
