What Mike Dociu likes about The Rose Fitzroy:
Traditional inner city pub with good bar menu and range of beers on tap. Beef pie was excellent and partner enjoyed the mushroom burger. Chips were crunchy and had a tasty seasoning. Staff friendly and exposed brick gives a unique interior that is still quite bright with plenty of windows View all feedback. What Tim H doesn't like about The Rose Fitzroy:
The entree of mushroom dumplings was pretty good and the crispy barramundi was okay. However, my main, a porterhouse was a real disappointment. It was cold, gristly and fatty. Whatever had been poured over the top tasted burnt. My five chips were also burnt and soggy. View all feedback.

Look it's comfortable and the food's OK. There is a great collection of beers and wines, so it's not a bad place to hang with friend or to watch the footie.
