Marquis of Lorne

The Marquis of Lorne sits on George Street in Fitzroy, one of Melbourne's most iconic and characterful inner-north suburbs. A much-loved corner pub, it's become a genuine local institution — the kind of warm, characterful spot, known for its rooftop and hearty pub fare, that captures the easygoing Fitzroy mood perfectly.

The appeal is that combination of a great pub atmosphere, good food and a solid drinks offering, including a popular rooftop, ideal for a relaxed drink, a meal or a sunny afternoon. In a suburb full of pubs and bars, its character and consistency have earned it a devoted local following.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 1,100 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. The food, what's on tap, opening hours and any events vary, and a popular Fitzroy pub fills up around weekends and on sunny days, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a relaxed pint and a feed in a genuine Fitzroy local, it's often just a matter of dropping in and settling in, ideally up on the rooftop.
