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.

    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.

  • 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!
