Napier Hotel

The Napier Hotel sits on Napier Street in Fitzroy, one of Melbourne's most iconic and characterful inner-north suburbs. A historic, much-loved pub, it's become a genuine local institution — the kind of warm, characterful corner pub with a long history and a devoted following, right in the heart of Fitzroy.

The appeal is that authentic, community-minded pub experience: a relaxed spot for a beer and a hearty meal — it's famous for its pub fare — with the easygoing charm and genuine character that define a great Melbourne local. In a suburb full of pubs and bars, its history and consistency have earned it a loyal crowd.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 1,600 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. The food, what's on tap, opening hours and any events vary, and a popular local fills up around weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a relaxed pint and a feed in a genuine slice of Fitzroy history, it's often just a matter of dropping in and settling in among the regulars.
