Fitzroy North

If you're from out of town, I'd hope your local friends live somewhere near North Fitzroy. Located about a mile up the road from its bigger brother, Fitzroy, 'North Fitz' as it's known, is a smaller community oriented hub which is small in footprint and big in quality establishments. Cafes, bars and speciality restaurants populate the area and they are all genuinely worth visiting; if not just to befriend the hospitable, like-minded and genuine locals that frequent them. Most destinations in this guide are a (good) frisbee flick to the next, which makes this 'hood an attractive place to waste/enjoy your time over a morning, afternoon and evening.

Previously a live music pub, The Empress was struggling to get in tune with the neighbourhood's rhythms. But earlier this year the Empress was renovated and reopened to be no more than a great local pub. The menu follows an Italian theme without ignoring the usual pub suspects - steaks, parma's and burgers. And to drink? You should find something you love along one of the 15 beers on tap.
