The Gertrude Hotel

The Gertrude Hotel is a Fitzroy restaurant and bar at 148 Gertrude Street, with evening service from Monday to Wednesday and from midday Thursday to Sunday. Its programme is built around regular food and drink offers, making it a useful option for a planned meal as well as a casual visit.

There is a daily happy hour from 4–6pm, with $10 drinks including Negronis, pints, wine, bubbles and cider. Monday is dedicated to a $25 O’Connor 250g porterhouse steak with unlimited French fries, while Wednesday pairs a choice of handmade pasta with a glass of wine for $33. Thursday and Friday bring a workers’ lunch selection: a steak sandwich, half chicken parma with fries, or pasta du jour at the listed prices.

The weekly schedule gives the venue a social, event-led feel. Tuesday nights feature free trivia from 7pm, hosted by Quiz Meisters, while Sundays are framed around vinyl, wine and Sunday roasts. That makes the hotel a natural fit for groups looking for trivia or a relaxed shared meal, with the rotating offers also giving solo diners and nearby locals a reason to return. The website does not provide further detail about the interior, history or people behind the venue, so its clearest point of difference is the combination of Fitzroy location, regular specials and recurring weekly events.
