You gotta love the new management that puts a sign outside proclaiming “We’re aren’t shit anymore!”.
Head to the Birmingham Hotel in Collingwood and that’s what you will see, which in my opinion was always a bit hit and miss, and thats not including the fights. Sure it didn’t seem like the most welcoming of places (it was fine unless you were being a dickhead or had an astonishly attractive lady partner with you), and it did have it share of trouble (see here), yet it was old school Collingwood (technically it is in Fitzroy but it always had the Collingwood vibe) and it made no apologies for it.
However, that’s not to say that the new management haven’t won me over already and things have changed for the better. In the past month they have updated the front bar to make it much more casual - think East Brunswick grunge meets nannas flat - but best of all they are offering $2 pots of new from 5pm Fridays and Saturdays. Not too shabby at all.
