Napier Hotel
Like a big, warm, friendly Fitzroy hug.
Overview
Closer to the classic British pub than most, The Napier Hotel is a winner all year round — but it's the warm fire that makes this an excellent choice in the winter months. Pull up a pew at one of the big communal tables and settle in for a cosy night out with mates.
Alternatively, grab a stool at the bar and chat with some Fitzroy characters or head to the covered terrace with industrial outdoor heaters.
Get on the beers, making your way through the lengthy local draught options or get a glass of something nice from the surprisingly well curated list of wines.
The pub grub is also a big win at The Napier. Try a bunch of kangaroo options – either in steak form, chucked in a salad or added to the classic chicken parma — or opt for the crispy swordfish tacos and the spaghetti marina that's stacked with fresh seafood.
The Napier Hotel is well worn-in and tends to be full of more locals compared to other Fitzroy pubs — thanks to its small size and location down one of the side streets.
