About The Standard Hotel

Tucked into Fitzroy back streets, this soulful, unrenovated boozer anchors group gatherings with genuine charm and a sprawling green beer garden. Shaded by trees beneath a retractable roof—and warmed by outdoor heaters come winter—the courtyard sets the scene for relaxed pints and four-legged companions. Inside, the carpeted front bar holds its ground with unpretentious cheer and an open fireplace. Fitzroy regulars treat the kitchen with serious respect: crisp chicken parmas, manchego and jalapeño croquettes, and duck specials served with golden buttery potatoes.

  • All-Weather Beer Garden: Shaded courtyard fitted with big trees, picnic tables, heaters, and a retractable roof for all-weather group catch-ups.
  • Classic Heritage Front Bar: Preserves an authentic, unpretentious neighborhood pub atmosphere centered on an open fireplace and live music.
  • Elevated Counter Fare: Serves standout bites and mains including manchego croquettes, hefty parmas, and seasonal duck specials.
  • Dog-Friendly Courtyard: Outdoor courtyard openly accommodates four-legged companions alongside casual table seating.
