About The Old Fitzroy Hotel
The Old Fitzroy Hotel, known to its regulars as The Fitz, stands at 129 Dowling Street in Woolloomooloo and fits three things into one building: a neighbourhood pub, a bistro and a small theatre. Tables sit out on the footpath under umbrellas, and inside, the bar and dining room keep a snug, old-fashioned feel. It is part of the Odd Culture Group, whose events team handles its function bookings. The pub takes private bookings in its function rooms and pitches them at anything from a birthday lunch to a rowdy farewell, for small gatherings as much as bigger ones. The website doesn't publish room names, capacities or layouts, so the events team is the place to ask which space matches your numbers and the style of party you have in mind. Bistro Fitz serves dinner from Wednesday to Friday and runs from lunch through dinner on Saturday and Sunday. Theatre ticket holders can book a quick pre-theatre set menu, with $5 from each going to the Old Fitz Theatre, which makes a dinner-and-show outing easy to organise. Regular fixtures include Tuesday trivia, free monthly comedy and a Sunday roast with live jazz. The pub itself opens at midday every day and closes at 11pm on Monday and Tuesday, midnight from Wednesday to Saturday, and 10pm on Sunday. Enquiries go through the group's functions enquiry form, or you can email or phone the pub directly.

Cool trendy corner pub with a good atmosphere. Steak was very tender and flavoursome. A bit too much sauce though, I’ll get it on the side next time. There has been menu changes since I was there last.
