Located in the back streets of Fitzroy for over 140 years, about 50 metres from the thriving hub that is Brunswick Street, this hidden beauty stands tall and proud as one of Melbourne’s oldest and friendliest pubs. Believed by many to have closed down permanently, the new owners have preserved the venue as a live entertainment pub, continuing to host some of Melbourne’s best blues, jazz and roots style music.
Bands play at this iconic pub several times a week – in particular, weekends are rockin’!
Chill out in the huge leafy beer garden over a game of pool, on the comfy lounges, or over a sizzling barbie (cook your own!).
The Rainbow prides itself on serving the best Aussie brews on tap, from your traditional Carlton Draught to a selection of microbrewery beers. Wines, cigars, and coffee are also available, or let your tastebuds be tantalised by one of the house specialties - a dry martini with an olive or three, or the smooth but fiery “Flaming Rainbow” shooter.
The Rainbow Hotel is one of the traditional live music venues that has helped make Fitzroy what it is – come for a beer, stay for the music.
