Fitzy 1875
Fitzroy North, VIC, Australia
The Space
A longstanding cornerstone of Fitzroy North, Fitzy 1875 blends rich heritage character with a refined, contemporary hospitality offering. Originally established in 1875 and recently reimagined through an extensive redevelopment, the venue now unfolds as a dynamic, multi-space location with strong visual identity and broad production appeal.
The interiors balance historic detailing with modern finishes, creating layered backdrops that move effortlessly between classic pub atmosphere and elevated dining environments. A series of distinct spaces including the public bar, craft beer bar and restaurant each offer their own tone and texture, while the casual fine dining space, Cinder, introduces a more polished, intimate setting ideal for food shoots and premium campaign work.
Outdoors, an expansive beer garden provides a vibrant, open-air environment with natural light and flexible styling potential, well suited to social scenes, events and lifestyle content. Across the venue, thoughtful zoning allows for a variety of shoot setups within one location, from bustling hospitality moments to more curated, design-led compositions.
Fitzy 1875 is highly suited to film and television, food and beverage campaigns, brand activations and social events. Its combination of heritage architecture, contemporary design and multiple shoot-ready environments offers versatility, atmosphere and a strong sense of place within one of Melbourne’s most character-rich neighbourhoods.
Recognised by the Australian Hotels Association with awards including Overall Hotel of the Year (Victoria, 2023) and Best Presented Beer (2023 and 2024), the venue brings both credibility and visual impact to any production or event.
