Provincial Hotel
NileGuide Expert Says:
A Fitzroy institution in lively Brunswick Street, this attractive and popular bar is a standout in strip that’s overflowing with nightspots. Its facade is both majestic and run down, which simply adds to the aura.Address:

The bar area is full of character with plush brown leather couches and wooden bar stools offering ample space in which to share a beer or perhaps one of their specialty cocktails (many served in jugs). Nice seating outdoors on the sidewalk is prime position to people watch and the Sunday Sessions are especially popular, as DJs spin their stuff from 3pm. The Tuesday trivia night is one of the most popular in the suburb.
