Polly Bar

Polly Bar sits on Brunswick Street in Fitzroy, one of Melbourne's most iconic and characterful inner-north strips. A stylish, much-loved bar, it's known for its opulent, ornate setting and quality cocktails — the kind of atmospheric, characterful venue that's become a genuine favourite on a street packed with bars and culture.

The appeal is that combination of expertly made cocktails and a lush, distinctive setting that sets it apart from the standard bar, ideal for a relaxed drink, a special night out or settling in for the evening. In a competitive inner-north bar scene, its character and quality have earned it a loyal following.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 800 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Cocktail and drinks lists, opening hours and any events vary, and a popular Brunswick Street bar fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a relaxed drink in a genuinely characterful setting, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well rated in Fitzroy.
