A charming, multi-level pub nestled in the pretty, tree lined back streets of Fitzroy this has got to my favourite Melbourne pub. It's laid back and serves a mean Aperol Spritz as well as plenty of craft beer on tap. The Marquis kitchen cooks up a fantastic seasonal menu of fish, steak and vegetarian food and to top it all off there's a very cool roof top terrace awaiting you at the top of the stairs.
