Royal Derby Hotel

A Fitzroy sports pub known for chicken parma, cold beer and big AFL Lions crowds.

A rowdy, no-frills traditional Melbourne sports pub - loud and packed on AFL game days (especially for the Brisbane Lions), with a relaxed beer garden out back for quieter drinks.

A big screen and packed atmosphere for AFL games, a dog-friendly beer garden, pool table, TAB betting, function rooms for private events, and budget hostel-style rooms upstairs.

A traditional Australian corner pub - reviewers describe it as authentic and unpretentious, with heritage character intact despite its rough-edged charm.

Mixed - most reviewers call the food and drinks well-priced and good value, though several flag pints creeping up to $17 as expensive, especially outside happy hour.
