About The Real Greek Souvlaki Bar

Fitzroy night owls head straight here when late-night cravings hit—trading processed doner rolls for marinated chunks of lamb and chicken roasted over charcoal. The Real Greek Souvlaki Bar skips the shortcuts. Skewers turn over coals until the edges crisp up, tucked into warm, pillowy pita with thick tzatziki and fresh tomatoes. When midnight rolls into 1:00 AM after a crawl down Brunswick Street, the kitchen turns out hefty HSPs and massive mixed souvlakia fast, layered with seasoned meat right over hot chips.

  • Spit-roasted meats: Marinated whole lamb and chicken cooked over rotisserie coals rather than processed minced rolls.
  • Late-night Brunswick staple: A reliable late-night spot serving massive souvlakia and HSPs past 1:00 AM.
  • Hefty portions: Tender spit meat, crisp chips, and garlic sauce served quickly to keep up with late crowds.
