As the name suggests, the Comfortable Chair in Brunswick East is all about making you feel comfy, and well, at home. This delightful bar is unfamiliar with chic leather lounges, but is very at home with shabby chic couches from the 1960s and 70s. So expect plenty of well-worn valour. With a quirky character all its own that is only enhanced by newspaper clippings from yesteryear gracing the walls, the Comfortable Chair serves a range of beers on tap, all reasonably priced for the money conscious university student. Beyond the décor, this establishment is also popular for its DJ beats and live bands on the weekends.

I'd have to agree with the earlier reviewer. Nice name but not really accurate. If names were based on what a venue provides, I'd call this place "Chilled out place with great drinks". The venue is relaxed, chilled & yes, despite the chairs it does feel "comfortable". Things are made even better by the vast array of drinks on offer. Boutique beers, small wineries..this place stocks it all. If yuo want to chill & try a few different drinks, come sit down at the "comfortable chair"

Ironically, the op-shop arm chairs here are not very comfortable. Not to worry though, with Coopers on tap, chilled music and a secluded beer garden the Comfy Chair is the ideal place to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon.

The Comfortable Chair

Clem Bastow

Thursday, April 12, 2007

To say this Lygon Street institution lives up to its name would be an understatement.

If white-on-white was the '80s big news in venue interior design, and the '90s re-energised kitsch, then the noughties seem to be all about making bars and hotels feel like a second living-room, with op-shop fittings and the kind of furniture-driven culture clash that only comes from share-housing. You could call this need for a home-away-from-home a symptom of people's alienation in a world increasingly commodified by The Man, if you were a first-year sociology student, or you could just call it the Comfortable Chair. To say this Lygon Street institution lives up to its name (which, incidentally, always makes me think of the Spanish Inquisition threatening nanna with "the comfy chair"; I've not been a student for some time, though, so cannot confirm whether Monty Python is still de rigueur among the revue set) would be an understatement. Put simply, the place is crawling with comfortable chairs - and modular lounges and couches and poufs. The full spectrum of late-'70s velour an...
