RUE de FLEURUS

153 Gertrude St,
Fitzroy VIC 3065

Popped into this bar on my way home from the city the other day. I was drawn in by the sign promising $5 pints and the sweet beckoning vocals of Sam Cooke on the stereo. It was a welcoming environment. Hard-wood floors, an enticingly varied menu that changes from week to week, a classicly furnished indoor dining room and a outdoor seating area perfect for enjoying a cool beer or cider while watching the Gertrude Street traffic go by.

There is a piano in the corner that anyone is welcome to have a go at. But, on this Saturday afternoon a DJ was mixing some tunes. He moved seamlessly from Sam Cooke to Doves to a housed-up Fleetwood Mac remix as the night progressed. And, I hear that on other evenings they host film nights and exhibitions.

Park your bike outside for a casual drink with friends or plan a big night of cocktails and dancing. Rue de Fleurus is a wonderful place to eat, drink and be merry.
