Seriously good bakery, next door to Market Lane coffee for seriously good coffee. It's the perfect distance to walk to through the park, and burn off enough calories to justify indulging in a freshly baked pastry.

The aqua profunda sign and the local Fitzroy scene is iconic. Almost as good for people watching as for swimming. There's gym equipment etc too.

Grand old Theatre with City Wine Bar, The European and Siglo clustered around for rooftop drinks or fine dining with a bit of old world charm. Matilda is on high rotation and is fantastic. Locals tip - book one of the seats behind the pole for a bargain - pole is nice and slender and the seats are half price.

Drinks & Nightlife

Actually - I kind of hate this place. It's noisy and there's too much in the way of weird copper decorations, but the views from the roof deck are absolutely killer. So it's totally worth popping up to have a look and a glass of vino. You can see our balcony from the roof too.

A local classic. This is the pub life of the last 80 years of Fitzroy writ large. Music on Sunday nights, Trivia on Tuesdays, open fires in winter and beer garden in summer. You really can't stay in Fitzroy without at least one pub meal here.

Basically you walk in here and have a chat to the bartender about what kind of flavours you like. Then you can just leave it to them to whip up a bunch of beverages to amaze and delight.
