Always exceptional service at the Rainbow. Great food and the selection of craft and imported beer is the greatest. Kat and the staff are fantastic and I would recommend this place any day of the week!
Fabulous pub, with great staff, beers and food. One of my favourites in Fitzroy, Highly recommend ���
A friendly pub in Fitzroy, the Rainbow hotel is a fab place to catch up with friends for a drink or two. I love the rear beer garden as it's roomy and comfortable, and not a bad place to spend a sunny afternoon.
Service is really good, and the staff are friendly. With an eclectic style, this pub has that cool, relaxed Fitzroy vibe making it popular with many of the locals. The bar is well stocked, and with a good food menu the Rainbow is a fun place to spend a few hours.
Cool, non-pretentious pub in the heart of Fitzroy (it’s become hard to find here). Great garden area, fantastic beer selection. Loved the Monday jazz night too, will definitely be back.
I love the Rainbow Hotel. They have beers. They always have vegan/vegetarian options. And it's puppies galore in the outside beer garden. Also roasts if that's your sort of thing.
Very cute little back yard for summer nights. We ordered one of each of the small plates on the menu . They were all good and nice for pub food, the croquettes and the pork sausages were very nice.
Great semi outdoor beer garden and vibes
Staff very friendly and helpful with navigating the beer list
A gem down an otherwise normal street
Always enjoy coming for the steak special on Wednesday evenings. Food is good and the vibe is friendly, especially in the beer garden with talent abound.
Straight up Great pub food! Nice relaxed friendly environment.
I would highly recommend getting a feed here.
Good size selection of beers on tap
Steak night is always a winner, solid for on $16. Nice venue. Staff can be a little hard to warm to but that doesn't stop coming back for another beer.
Been here a couple of times on a Wednesday night for there $16 Steak meal deal. Have to say, bang for buck is awesome! The steak is a decent size, probably about 300g and you get to choose mash and vege or chips and salad.
The steak has been cooked perfectly every time I've been there and the mash is creamy and delicious. Highly recommend you check this place out if you want a nice steak meal.
Love this place! Great food and a great vibe. The lady behind the bar however is always rude everytime I go there, have no idea why they keep her around. Great beer garden for a warm day
This is a serious good place for friends. The environment is lively and lovely. The bathroom is clean.
The staff are quite friendly and care free.
We had beef burgers and beers in the courtyard.
FYI, you'll get a discount for burgers on Mondays. The range is not wide but the taste blows your mind.
Hopefully you'd enjoy your dining here.
The food was comforting, good portion, great flavour and balance. The staff were really nice as well. Their vegan options were wide in variety and packed a punch.
I’ve extensively pursued the best pubs in Melbourne and I can say with all confidence this one reaches all the requirements. Great food, great beer garden ( dog friendly) good prices and live music. This is in my top ten and it should be in yours too . Highly recommend
The beer garden is the place to be, seafood linguine and popcorn chicken are my absolute favourites🥰
I had my first time visit on Sunday after my wife suggested we try the Sunday vegan roast. It is a popular place but we were quickly seated by the lovely staff.
There is table service but ordering is done at the bar. Great range of beers on tap and I enjoyed an IPA by local brewery Fixation.
Our meals arrived pretty fast and the roast comes on a large enamel plate with plenty of food! The nut based 'meat loaf' was moist and flavourful and accompanied with vegetables, some sides and even a Yorkshire pudding. I devoured mine quickly and lucky my lady has a smaller appetite because I finished hers as well.
The hotel has a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and I look forward to returning for more roasts and IPA soon.
Arrive for my 9pm dinner reservation to be advised the kitchen has closed at 9pm.
Stars revised, from 1 star to 5 stars. We now understand the pub was dealing with a new booking system. We understand that there are teething problems sometimes with new systems but upon our last visit everything had been resolved. Thank you, great experience.
Extremely helpful staff aiding wheelchair access in order to assist my 76yo father. Went out of their way to help us for dinner and stay for the late night Hammond Combo gig.
Must love dogs!
Service at the bar is friendly and helpful, food is ok - a bit hit and miss depending on which dish you order. Outside in the courtyard every table has at least 2 dogs - if not more, so great if that is your thing and you have a very social dog!
Tip, if you like margaritas, try the tinned one on offer - quite unique!
