With views over The State Library of Victoria, Asian Beer Cafe is loved for its happy hours. Catering to the student crowd, every day you can find cheap beer, wine & cocktails.

The Provincial Hotel is a classic corner pub that underwent a face-lift with the addition of a rooftop bar. While it is a modern addition, it still manages to maintain some old-world charm.
This spacious rooftop bar is inspired by the rooftop gardens of New York City, and is a great way to finish a Fitzroy shopping blitz.
