One day this will be a pub again

This was once a pub.

It's on Rae St in Nth Fitzroy.

I think it was called the Cricket Club Hotel.

I noted that my old milk bar just up the street had also been converted into a residence.

Sigh...

Great pubs of Melbourne

Another favourite of mine is the Rainbow Hotel in Fitzroy.

Very homely atmosphere, with well priced beer and a nice beer garden for the warmer months.

Friends of mine- Georgia and Anna are not fans of this establishment.

However, I'm yet to meet a bloke who doesn't rate it a wonderful hotel.

Live music can be heard most nights of the week.

Meat pie

Is there anything better to eat than a Four 'n Twenty pie?
Me thinks not.
As the song goes "Football, meat pies, kangaroos and Holden cars".
There is nothing more Melbourne than this Australian icon.
I lament their decline in popularity. And I seeth at the thought of when the Carlton Football Club replaced the humble Four 'n Twenty with Pattie's Pies in the 90's at Princes Park.
That decision foreshadowed their current plight...
