The Rose

Fitzroy's oldest and most-loved pub, rebuilt and reopened in 2016 but still carrying the soul of the original. Exposed brick, a central bar, AFL memorabilia and screens for game days sit alongside polished concrete and a proper kitchen. Carlton Draught and Coopers Pale remain on tap. Classic pub fare — ham-hock croquettes, calamari, a decent parma — alongside a wine list curated upstairs by Harry & Frankie. This is where Fitzroy actually gathers.
