The Provincial Hotel

The Provincial Hotel is a pub and rooftop bar on Brunswick Street in the heart of Fitzroy, offering a relaxed setting for drinks, meals and celebrations. Its rooftop adds an extra option for catching up with friends, while the venue also has an exclusive downstairs room known as the Chammy, described as a space with a disco-ball setting for private events and parties.

The food takes familiar pub cooking in a more varied direction. The menu combines classic pub fare with plant-based options and Italian influences, including spicy vodka gnocchi, meatballs on toast and cacio e pepe pizza. Vegan burgers are also available, alongside share plates designed for the table. The venue says its menu suits people reducing their meat intake as well as dedicated vegetarians, without leaving traditional pub favourites behind.

Drinks are a major part of the experience, particularly upstairs. The rooftop cocktail menu brings together updated classics, newer combinations and beer cocktails, with beer, wine, spirits and non-alcoholic drinks also listed among the venue’s options. The laid-back atmosphere makes it a natural fit for an after-work drink, a casual meal or a catch-up that stretches into the evening.

The Provincial also runs a rotating programme of events and specials, including drag bingo, trivia, late-night sessions, a Sunday roast, happy hour and other themed promotions. That gives the venue a more social, event-led feel than a straightforward neighbourhood pub. It can work for groups planning a function, friends sharing food and drinks, or visitors looking for a Fitzroy rooftop with a broad menu and plenty happening. The venue’s Google rating is 4.2 from 2,114 reviews.
