G’day

Grouse first opened its doors in December of 2022, with a simple purpose of creating a nostalgic space that welcomes all decent people with open arms (and a drink in each hand). 

Inside you’ll find a tasteful mix of vintage Melbournia, corner pub stylings and disco flare splashed around a converted 1870s bank. Serving drinks right out of the original vault, we’re confident Grouse is home to Melbourne’s most secure stash of beer.

Grouse is a celebration of Melbourne’s community, its icons and its stories, the ones you’ve heard of and the ones you’ll have to ask us about. We’re proudly Fitzroy’s own, but remember a time before that meant anything too cool.

Our newly opened deck spills out onto the hubbub of the Smith Street footpath, making it the perfect vantage point to watch people dash for the tram while you sip a sunset bevvy.

More exciting developments are just around the corner, with extended hours, dazzling new spaces and more joyous events to be revealed soon. In the meantime, we’re still here aiming to surprise, include and delight. Day in, day out.

Grouse is all about the good stuff. At our little corner bar you’ll find that the drinks, the tucker, the tunes and the company are nothing but deadset grouse.
