Fitzroy Hotel is a bit of an oasis for live local music lovers, having hosted the likes of Eskimo Joe, 28 Days, Killing Heidi, Little Birdy and more.

The venue, which was established in 1853 and was taken over by a family business in 2004, consists of multiple rooms, all with a different function; basically, this place has everything you could want from a pub. The front dining room overlooks the Windsor Mall and features classic glass bi-fold doors which open right up on sunny days. There’s a sports bar to tend to all your TAB and Keno needs, with a pool table and jukebox too, for those with no interest in the bettin’ side of things. A generous function room provides ample space for live entertainment, and can hold up to 150 people for functions. Finally, there is a deck which features its own bar, pool table, plasma for watching footy, and a jumping castle to keep the kids entertained.
