Red Betty
Red Betty who is she? An enigma who started life as a magic theatre, hidden down Houdini Lane…. Offering a different kind of magic.
Tucked away in a laneway at the rear of 859 Sydney Road, Red Betty is Brunswick's newest bar. Red Betty magically appeared on the site of Dane Certificate's Magic Theatre and Tricks on Houdini Lane. For live music and shows check our events page.

FREE Poetry from 7:30PM, “BE FEARLESS” hosted by Michael Reynolds ❤️👊
Hello everyone, Monday the 17th of August is Be Fearless night... and the feature performer is Gemma White.
Gemma has been a highlight of open mic poetry events for a while now and it’s about time we heard a couple of longer sets of her beautiful words, as proven by two fabulous books published by Interactive Press and featured by journal Unusual work.
There will be open mic of course, and the famous hospitality of Red Betty. See you there!
