About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Great for outdoor dining
Like taking a step back in time, the Railway Hotel Fitzroy North is a charming and welcoming neighbourhood pub straight out of the 70’s, and the perfect spot for dinners with the family, knock-offs after work or weekend catch-ups with mates. A no-nonsense pub stocked with a generous range of draught beers on tap, and your classic pub tipple and boasting an impressive kitchen, serving quality Italian-inspired pub meals in line with its Mediterranean roots. A secluded, vine-sheltered beer garden is the cherry on top, providing the perfect spot to enjoy an al fresco meal or kick back and relax with a few cold ones.

The Railway is everything your favourite local should be, a true neighbourhood gem.

    This is a community hub. The food is great, both in range and quality. The atmosphere is family-friendly and congenial, and the service friendly and quick. This is somewhere you can eat locally on a regular basis and come to love.

    Food was super delicious and of quality. Only downside was that the food took 45 mins to be brought out, which is quite long. Otherwise experience was overrall really good.

    Loved Lasagne + Vino night here. Staff were free eat to talk to and provided great service. The whole pub feels like the gems of past bygone eras of the Australian ‘watering hole’ but in the best possible way. Hoping to book in time for trivia night one time soon!! PS. The lasagne was simply delicious.
