The Napier Hotel

Tucked away amongst the neighbourhood streets of Fitzroy, The Napier Hotel is a local institution. First opening its doors in 1866, this historical venue, filled with character and hipster-charm, has been serving up pub grub to its customers for years.

The menu has all of the usual pub suspects, but on this occasion I couldn't go past the traditional chips and Parma. The Parma itself was delicious - the chicken breast was fat and juicy, the cheese generous and the Napoli sauce was rich with flavour. The chips, however, were soggy (and not just the ones underneath the parma) and could have done with a touch of seasoning.


The staff were a bit short and on the unhelpful side, but with a room full of Friday night drunks, their lack of enthusiasm was somewhat understandable.

Otherwise, with its great food, outstanding atmosphere, and the sort of character you would think you could only find in a pub depicted in an American made movie on "outback Australia", it is easy to see why the The Napier Hotel is a favourite watering hole among the locals.

Venue: 3/5
Food: 3.5/5
Service: 2.5/5
Total: 9/15
Verdict: Like - get around to trying it at some point
