Marquis of Lorne

Fitzroy’s corner-pub culture peaks right here. A multi-level historic boozer standing tall on George Street. Those fiercely loyal to Melbourne's inner-north scene know this spot serves an undeniably elite pub feed. Forget the standard greasy fare—expect elevated, perfectly fired steaks with crispy roast potatoes, a legendary fish burger, and a top-tier chicken schnitty. Upstairs, an open kitchen hums. Downstairs, dogs chill by the bar. Yes, it’s completely dog-friendly indoors. The rooftop? Pure weekend prime real estate. First-date couples sit shoulder-to-shoulder with mates sinking afternoon pints. Brilliant acoustics. Razor-sharp, genuinely happy staff. A serious wine and tap list keeping the thirsty crowd well-watered. Whether you're chasing a knockout vegan plate or a classic carnivorous spread, this is exactly how a modern Aussie pub should feel.
