About the venue
Sitting on the north end of Brunswick Street, the somewhat recently renovated Royal Derby Hotel brings it, old-school pub style. It’s a well-loved local in the area, with trivia nights, uni nights, parma nights and just about every other night in between. It’s often a task to find a truly old-school pub nowadays, but the Royal Derby does manage to make the hunt ever so slightly easier. The Royal Derby succeeds at said easing-of-the-hunt by keeping it simple. The selection of beer is concise but varied, with a good collection on tap. The food is standard pub favourites, but the team at the Royal Derby have focused their attention on high-quality fresh produce. As far as function venues go, the Royal Derby takes reservations for smaller groups, while also offering a private function room. There’s a DJ section in there, as well as a screen for product launches, corporate functions, and slideshows of embarrassing 21st-birthday photos. The Royal Derby does old-school pub, and they do it well. The Royal Derby Hotel is also known as a sports pub to cater to all your live sports including AFL, rugby union, soccer and all the main UFC events. Spend your Saturday night here and enjoy their steak night or trivia night. They even have a pool table! The Royal Derby is located on the corner of Brunswick Street and Alexandra Parade. It’s stupidly convenient to get to. It’s a few minutes from the city by cab, on the 112 tram, on your bike or on your feet.

Super cute little austere rooms putting a shine on budget accommodation. The location comes with a noise factor but of course that is totally expected and absolutely worth it for how incredibly close you are to the most delightful street with an unbelievable variety of places to visit. Service is incredibly attentive and just really lovely. I've paid a lot more in other accommodation for a lot less flexibility and care factor.

I was first welcomed by an absolutely wonderful lady, Suz, best barmaid this side of Fitzroy. Great pub for a day out with the lads, everything you could ask for at your fingertips. Super relaxed homely vibe, can’t wait to make this place my local.

A good Aussie style pub.. The front is old school heritage with beers and maaaate flowing, if the walls could talk.. it has a nice beer garden out the back, a really great variety on tap, plus the staff were super friendly and positive..

Went for AFL opening night and saw the 1/2 price at 1/2 times listed on their menu. They already have insanely overpriced 17$ pints. When I asked about it at halftime was rudely told by one of the barstaff "we aren't doing that" with no explanation. Absolute money grabbing prick. Won't be coming back, good luck greedy bar.

Note bene: This is a review of the hotel amenities and not the pub itself with the same name. The Royal Derby Hotel in Fitzroy, Melbourne, offers a quaint stay in a lively part of the city. Nestled in the heart of Fitzroy, the hotel's prime location provides easy access to the area's vibrant culture, with quirky shops and trendy cafes at every turn. While the hotel may be a bit rough around the edges, its cozy ambiance gives it a distinct charm. The decor is simple, and the rooms, though small, offer a comfortable retreat. A notable feature is the availability of kitchen facilities. However, it's worth noting that some essential utensils were lacking, requiring guests to be resourceful or bring their own. Also, be prepared to use earplugs since the adjacent beer garden can be quite popular at times. In summary, the Royal Derby Hotel is a modest choice for those seeking an affordable and cozy stay in the heart of Fitzroy.
