My first Melbourne pub experience – and how important finding a good local pub is.  The Napier Hotel.  Bar guide describes it as one of  “Fitzroy’s vintage favourites, serving up classic pub fare in a relaxed space that’s packed full of locals”.

From the moment I sat down with my first jug (pitcher) of Coopers – I felt like a local and my favourite part of it: simplicity but chef prepared food.  Snuggled in a homey residential strip, school down the street its where the adults come to play.  Couple of pots (small pints) and a cigarette then the tables scatter and the next round of neighbours stroll in.  Yes, definitely a pub for my character type.  A local I will be too!
