The Terminus Hotel




Terminus Hotel - 492 Queens Parade, North Fitzroy





As reported in the Herald Sun
It’s not the fact that it champions craft beers from around the world, but has a particular focus on smaller Victorian producers, or that it has 16 on tap at any time. It’s not for its fantastic Asian-accented food — bao, banh mi and the best duck spring rolls around — that’s served alongside the classics done well in the modern and bright craft bar. It’s not the fact that there’s sport on big screens when the season’s in full swing, or the public bar that has welcomed drinkers for decades with the same open arms. It’s not for the moody bluestone dining room, where the tables are set and the service is sharp. It’s not for the seven cuts of steak, or the chateaubriand for when two want to share. It’s not for the beer garden, when the weather is warm, or the clever wine list with its good things to drink. It’s not because it’s as good for a Saturday arvo out with the kids as it is a Friday night session of beers with the boys. It’s the fact that it’s all of these things that makes the Terminus a perfect pub and why we think it is Melbourne’s best.
