Napier Hotel | 210 Napier Street | Fitzroy

“By now you might realise that we are Fitzroy Football Club Supporters. But didn't they go belly up back in the 90s, I hear you ask? They might no longer exist on the field (besides C grade amateurs), but they live on in pubs such as the Napier. Not a week goes by, that we don't pull up a stool at the front bar, have a cosy pint and listen to the locals talk about the good old days. Stories like how Fitzroy's FC Best & Fairest in 1996 was held at the adjacent town hall, but when the winner, Martin Pyke, was announced no one could find him..until someone checked the pub. The food here has also entered folklore with people travelling as far as interstate just to sample their behemoth Bogan Burger. We enjoy the parma with kangaroo on top as well. An intimate dining area, put together with a beer hall type vibe in the open fire place side room, simply makes this a great local pub.”
