Book NowAbout 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.
