Located in the back streets of Fitzroy for over 140 years, about 50 metres from the thriving hub that is Brunswick Street, this hidden beauty stands tall and proud as one of Melbourne’s oldest and friendliest pubs. Now open 7 days a week, the King brothers have introduced a new twist to a classic venue, with over 100 beers from here and arou
nd the world available. Come on in to sample our fine selection of beers, try the wonderful cooking of our chef, Dan Gamboni, enjoy the fantastic live bands we have playing, or just bring a bunch of mates for a beer and a game of pool in our massive beer garden.
