About The Fifth Province Irish Bar & Restaurant

Proper Guinness, live fiddles, and zero pretensions—The Fifth Province brings authentic Irish warmth straight to Fitzroy Street. Regulars swear by the weeknight specials, tucking into porterhouse steaks with peppercorn gravy on Tuesdays or towering Sunday roasts with all the trimmings. When the main taproom fills up with sports crowds and foot-tapping trad tunes, slip into the timber-clad Whisky Room for smaller-producer Australian pours, craft drams, and slow-braised beef in Guinness stew.

  • Proper Pub Grub: Diners turn out for crisp beer-battered fish and chips alongside hearty beef in Guinness stew.
  • Pints & Value: Weeknight specials draw crowds for Tuesday steak dinners, Wednesday parmas, and Sunday roasts.
  • Live Music & Atmosphere: A bustling room fueled by live musicians, sports screens, and genuine hospitality from floor to bar.
  • The Whisky Room: A dedicated, moodier enclave pouring curated whiskies and boutique Australian wines away from the main crush.

Why Choose The Fifth Province

Why locals and visitors make The Fifth Province their destination of choice in St Kilda

  • Authentic Irish Pub Energy & Live Music

    The venue pairs lively pub energy with live performances, authentic decor, and freshly poured pints of Guinness.

  • High-Spirited Weekend Atmosphere

    With a buzzing dance floor, sports screenings, and live bands, evenings bring vibrant energy to the Fitzroy Street strip.

    Live music, Friday night football on the big screen, and a packed dance floor was all it took to lure us in.

  • Dedicated Weekly Steak & Food Specials

    Weekly food nights feature generous value-driven dishes, from perfectly cooked porterhouse steaks to hearty burgers and parmas.

    Top 3 steak night. This is our 6th visit and 3rd week in a row (always a steak night, will need to try another night) and the steak is cooked perfectly each time.

    Sundays bring generous beef roasts prepared with gastropub-level care and all the traditional trimmings.

    Had the most incredible Sunday roast tonight! One of the best I’ve had in a long time! Everything was perfectly cooked.

  • Guinness

    Popped in for a pint of Guinness on a very busy Sunday, been following the socials from a distance. Live music, plenty of ex-pats. Didn’t have time to eat on this trip, maybe next time. The pint was great though!

  • Fish and chips

    Had one of the best fish and chips dishes in Melbourne. Perfectly presented and on top of that it was so delicious.

Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, seating zones, and transit to get the most from your visit.

  • Book Ahead or Arrive Early

    Tables fill quickly on busy nights like Sunday roast or mid-week steak specials; secure a table reservation ahead of time or aim to arrive before 6:15 PM.

  • Choose Your Room Wisely

    The main bar and band stage get lively and loud during peak music and match screenings; choose the Whiskey Bar, bistro, or outdoor seating if you prefer quieter conversation.

  • Catch the Tram to Fitzroy Street

    Street parking can fill fast along Fitzroy Street, but trams stop conveniently right out front for an easy arrival and trip home.
