This unique and unassuming venue pumps some amazing dishes out of their kitchen. Great when you feel like a snack or for sharing a bunch of small plates
Finally had the courage to visit here after all these years. This is a fantastic character laden building. Melbourne’s mini flatiron building if you like. I liked the bar very much and it’s a great place to have a drink as I did here today. It was a generous pour too, strong smoky and peaty. I like it here. This might become my bar of choice.
This was an unexpected and delightful surprise - we ducked in here when our plans were interrupted by bucketing rain.
This place is a pub with a typical "Fitzroy" vibe. Low key, comfortable, nothing fancy. They had a good range of beers on tap, but it was my food that was the biggest delight. I had the vegan quinoa dish (I'm not normally a vegan but this looked good) and it was amazing! Tasty, filling, and all round yum! The rest of the menu looked like fairly standard pub fare.
Located in an oddly shaped late 1800s building, The Fitzroy Pinnacle is a pub that exhibits old world charm in more than just its historical facade. Purchased by the current owners in 2006, this former land office, post office, and antique shop has become of of the most loved pubs in the area.
I came to this place not expecting much but I stumbled across the best band. They were called Gentlemane and they were launching their second USB 'The Year of Trip'. It was a beautiful mix of traditional Irish jams and classic rock n roll. Not sure if I will ever come back to the pinnacle but I will make sure to keep listening to Gentlemane.
I'm the cheese steak cook here now and the other night I made one that had chips in it, along with the regular stuff. It was so good. Its not on the menu, so you can't have one as a customer, but i can cause I work here. I guess you could just get a side of chips and assemble it yourself, I can't really stop you once you've purchased it. Just be careful because the chips are hot.
Can't really fault this place. I've enjoyed everything I've gotten off the menu (save the wedges as Im not a wedges fan!). The lamb burger (picture included) is amazing. The patty is so deliciously flavoured. Onions rings on top! They always serve these crinkle cut chips which I dont reallllly like. But the burger fills you up so much so its not the end of the world.
Their specials are creative and generally rock! The salmon cakes are really yummy. The pulled pork sandwish (served on GARLIC NAAN !!!) is so delicious and creative. Yum
Amazing beer selection, fair staff , generally live music and an eclectic crowd.

Parmasofmelbourne. The Fitzroy Pinnacle was the location of this weeks parma night. After the last few disappointing weeks, we were absolutely busting for an outstanding parma tonight. The Pinnacle is the sort of place you have driven past so many times but never realised that it was actually a pub. Driving past it always reminded me of New York’s Flatiron building. Walking inside the pinnacle is quite different and strange in a way. The decor is very old and pub like but its often these type of pubs that pump out the best parma’s. Must say, we love pubs like the pinnacle. It also hosts an awesome beer garden.
The Pinnacle offers a special where all mains are priced at $15 every Monday. After a few cheeky gazes back and forth towards the kitchen our parmas came flushing out. We were bloody starving so without delay, we dug in.
Faces lit up round the table. The chicken was fresh, thick, big and juicy. Was pretty much a perfect chook. The crumbing stuck to the chicken like glue sticks to paper. No soggy mess here.
Now i know we rave on about the napoli often but when the napoli is 10/10, we like to make sure you guys know about it. The Pinnacle's napoli was absolutely top notch. Home made and tasty as ever. There was an abundance of napoli as well which was excellent.
The slice of pig did its job just perfect. Smokey and tasty.
The cheese was soft, stringy and grilled to perfection.
The pinnacle served up crinkle cut chips with their parma which was different. Might i add they were awesome. There was also tomato & bbq sauce at our disposal also which went down a treat with the chips.
The salad was excellent. It was fresh and was dressed quite well while the few sneaky cherry tomatoes in there didn't hurt.
We honestly can’t seem to fault anything about the pinnacles parma. The pinnacle uses fresh real chicken, and outstanding home made tasty toppings. The final result is an absolutly delicious parma. So thanks to the pinnacle for satisfying our much needed parma fix. This place is definitely in our top 5. Add this to your list guys, its special. The name sure doesn't lie. This place is The Pinnacle of Fitzroy.
8.5/10
Walk in the door and its the quintessential Fitzroy pub. Dim lighting, mismatching chairs, decor that looks like it comes from your grandma’s house and patrons that seem to be perpetually competing in a “who can wear the ugliest jumper” competition. When it comes to the beer list, the Pinnacle has hit the nail on the head. Rotating taps of craft beer and staff happy to make recommendations, I sampled the Nail Brewing oatmeal stout and pale ales last night and must say I was delighted with both. There’s also a sizable beer garden out the back with a separate bar and what seemed to be a stage setting up for some live Thursday tunes. Was a bit of a brisk evening so opted to sit inside, but on a warm Sunday afternoon I could easily see chilling in the beer garden over a cold one.
Great pub. The food is always good with new dishes every week, rotating beer taps every week. Only negative is the rude washed up looking pirate with a bad attitude behind the bar. Fire him and this place is A+
Beautiful old building. Good value meals. Thursday was $20 steak night! Tasty & generous. Very nice atmosphere. Garden bar out the back. Live music sometimes but not the night we were there.
Got my fix of kangaroo tacos again last night, sooo tasty! I couldn't eat all 3, my friend stole the last one 🤤
Staff are all legends, always love coming to visit the Pinny! 🖤
I'm so happy the Pinnacle exists. As a queer person I see this as a safe, welcoming space. The crew behind the bar are always keen to have a chat and advise on what's good to drink. The food is great, generous portions and great veg options. The smoking area is under cover and usually occupied by some interesting characters.
Considering the queers behind the bar, maybe the pinny should consider a queer night? Drag?????
5 stars all around, good dive bar vibes with tasty wines
A great local of mine. Staff are always great and there's always a good selection of beers. Food is mostly very good. There's been a couple of times recently with small issues like things being too salty, but I'd put that down to all the issues with staffing hospitality at the moment.
Always a good spot for a local catch up.
Chilled beer garden with lots of space. The outdoor tables still look onto the old stable door. I'm sure the horses who once waited for happy hour to finish would pop their heads in and have their people hurry their drinks along. Nowadays, it's more our furry friends who sit patiently.
Fun staff and a smoothie machine with booze too! What's not to love!
Love this pub that is housed in the old post office
They only have craft beer on tap, but it's cold and they have other beer in bottles. As a bonus they have gluten free beer
We had a nice time in the Fitzroy Pinnacle. It was warm and cozy inside, relaxed with friendly patrons and staff. We enjoyed the food and bev. Will certainly be back soon.
