This is a local pub on a corner in Fitzroy. That’s how we’ve treated it since 2006 (although it’s been here since the 1850’s) & that’s how our customers expect to find it. That doesn’t mean that we don’t insist that the food’s fresh, the beer tastes like someone cares about it & the wine & spirits have been given some thought. It’s just that your local should feel like a pair of jeans you’ve had for ages, comfortable & reliable. Not rocket science really but something Melbourne could miss if it wasn’t there.
We like playing records & watching footy, usually not at the same time but unsolicited opinions about either are likely to come from both sides of the counter. We call that conversation around here & much prefer it to the sound of gambling machines. So if that has appeal, then you’ve come to the right place.
