Why it's worth checking out
The Evelyn Hotel sits on Brunswick Street in Fitzroy, one of Melbourne's most iconic and characterful inner-north suburbs. A much-loved pub and live-music venue, it's a genuine local institution — combining a relaxed, characterful pub atmosphere with good drinks and a longstanding reputation for live music, the kind of beloved Fitzroy fixture that's hosted countless memorable nights.
The appeal is that combination of a great pub atmosphere, good drinks and a brilliant live-music heritage in a prime Brunswick Street location, ideal for a drink, catching a gig or a great night out. Its live-music legacy and characterful Fitzroy setting make it a real drawcard for music lovers, and the Evelyn has clearly kept a big, loyal following happy over the years.
With a 4.4 rating from more than 750 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The drinks, the live-music program, opening hours and ticketing vary, so it's worth checking the current line-up before you go — particularly for a specific gig — though for a drink, some live music and a characterful Fitzroy pub atmosphere, it's often just a matter of dropping in at the Evelyn Hotel.
