Book NowAbout Napier Hotel
Napier Hotel pairs hearty heritage pub cooking with an unapologetic, old-school Fitzroy room. Fitzroy Lions memorabilia lines the walls, draft beers rotate through the taps, and an open fire cuts the winter chill. Regulars swear by the oversized Bogan burger, while the kitchen stakes its reputation on Australian game—turning out pepper-crusted kangaroo steaks and chicken parmas finished with smoked roo fillets. On the specials board, ambitious plates like lamb backstrap with dukka sit alongside honest Lancashire hotpots, rounded out with a sticky date pudding.
- Game Meat & Classic Mains: Massive portions dominate the table, from the towering Bogan burger to pepper-crusted roo fillets and kangaroo-topped chicken parmas.
- Heritage Fitzroy Character: A machine-free locals pub warmed by an open fireplace and decorated with historic Fitzroy Lions team jumpers.
- Draft Beers & Front Bar: Rotating local taps and Guinness poured by a relaxed, welcoming bar crew without electronic distractions.

Why Choose the Napier Hotel
Why locals and visitors seek out Fitzroy's iconic corner pub for honest meals and heritage warmth.
Signature Kangaroo Steaks and Roo-Topped Parmas
The kitchen serves robust cuts like the pepper-crusted kangaroo fillet from the grill alongside inventive twists like smoked roo topping on traditional chicken parmas.
I had the pepper-crusted roo steak from the grill, and my lord, it was just incredible.
Neil Walker Epic Servings and the Bogan Burger
Napier's counter serves substantial pub fare, notably the towering Bogan Burger stacked high with schnitzel, steak, bacon, and classic trims for serious appetites.
The portion was absolutely massive—the biggest main course I've had in Australia.
Shane M. Warm Open Fireplace Comfort
Crackling open fireplaces warm the traditional brick interior through cold winter evenings, creating an unhurried, comfortable pub retreat.
Very cosy in winter with the fire going.
Georgie Alexander Classic Fitzroy Football Heritage
Historic walls display vintage Fitzroy Lions jerseys and unpretentious sporting memorabilia that celebrate the suburb's deep football roots.
Fitzroy Lions memorabilia sits where it has always sat—unironic, uncurated, and entirely confident in its relevance.
The Nihlistic Epicurean Machine-Free Social Pub Atmosphere
A genuine local gathering spot free of electronic gaming and pokie machines, keeping the focus entirely on beer, conversations, and food.
What I loved most is that it's a genuine pub without any of the gambling machines you find elsewhere.
Shane M. Versatile Spaces for Casual Rounds
Multiple casual rooms, fresh taps pouring local drafts and Guinness, and welcoming bar staff make relaxed group catch-ups easy.
You can sit in the main dining room, the bar room, or the beer garden depending on your mood.
