About North Fitzroy Arms Hotel

Tucked onto Rae Street, this neighbourhood boozer matches front-bar footy energy with serious kitchen technique. Regulars skip the main strip for cold pints and a game of pool up front before moving to linen-draped tables lit by single taper candles. The kitchen flexes well beyond standard pub grub. The $29 Monday steak night draws a faithful following for medium-rare cuts with crisp chips and sharp peppercorn sauce. Come Sunday, the draw turns to thick-cut roast beef with towering Yorkshire puddings and rich pan gravy. During the week, you can graze through chicken liver parfait on toasted brioche, tuna tartare, and housemade sausage rolls, or split a retired dairy cow cheeseburger slicked with house tomato relish.

  • Elevated Bistro Dining: The kitchen turns out chicken liver parfait, tuna tartare, and housemade sausage rolls in a candlelit back room with tablecloths.
  • $29 Monday Steak Night: A weekly tradition serving medium-rare cuts alongside crisp chips, mustard selections, and peppercorn sauce for $29.
  • Sunday Roast: Generous plates of roast beef paired with massive Yorkshire puddings, seasonal vegetables, and rich gravy.

    The venue pairs an authentic, unpretentious Aussie front bar with an intimate, candlelit dining room adorned with white tablecloths.

  • Restaurant-Calibre Gastropub Fare

    Refined culinary techniques shine through across elevated gastropub dishes like housemade chicken liver parfait, pork cutlets, and steak.

    Every dish cooked to perfection and all with little pops of surprise eg the fruit jelly on top of the parfet.

  • Classic Front Bar Catch-Ups

    The front bar offers a welcoming, unhurried space for playing pool, pouring cold beers, and meeting mates.

    An old school pub with standard beers on tap, great for catching up with mates and/or to play a little bit of pool.

The dishes locals and visitors return for week after week

  • Sunday Roast

    Pub Sunday roasts can often deliver more on experience than food quality but this delivered on both. Not sure I've ever had a better roast beef and the sides, including the enormous Yorkshire Pudding, were fantastic.

  • Monday Night Steak

    First time dining here for their Monday Steak Night, and it was the best steak night I’ve experienced so far. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare and the overall experience exceeded my expectations.

  • Sticky Date Pudding

    Lastly and in my opinion the pubs star dish is the sticky date pudding. It’s one of the best in Melbourne in my opinion.

  • Chips

    The chips were elite tier and probably some of the better ones I’ve had across these steak nights.

  • Sausage Roll

    The sausage roll was a home run; I could easily tell this was home made compared to what you’d buy in the shops, the pastry was soft and flaky.

  • Broccoli and Cheese Croquettes

    The broccoli and cheese croquettes were superb.

Before you head over

Practical advice on bookings, weekly specials, and spaces for your visit

  • Book ahead for peak dining

    Both the front bar and dining room fill quickly on Thursday, Friday, and weekend nights, especially during Sunday lunch or footy games. Reserve ahead to avoid waiting for a table.

  • Visit Mondays for the steak special

    Drop in on Monday nights for the $29 steak special featuring porterhouse cuts and chips, but arrive early if visiting without a reservation as the dining area fills before the rush.

  • Choose your preferred setting

    The venue houses a traditional front bar for casual pints and pool alongside an intimate back dining room with table cloths, and both spaces offer access to the full food menu.
