This pub certainly doesn't feel like a local pub, namely because it tries to capture the semi-rural…read moreatmosphere of Windsor. It feels a lot like one of those pubs that appeals to the daytripper up here, particularly with the architecture, and of course of lovely beer garden down near the river. It is a nice pub, and it certainly has a lot of atmosphere about it, and in fact, feels that it is the original pub from up this way. The other thing that stands out is that it does have a nice selection of beers as well though the service, well, it wasn't the best, but it was still good.

I've only been here for a beer a few times and each time service was quick and we found somewhere…read moreto sit. The bar staff have always been friendly and helpful. An old pub by Australian standards. The high water mark of the 1867 flood is marked on the outside wall of the pub. The only thing that I didn't like was the massive cloud of smoke I had to walk through and stand in on the verandah when it started pouring. I'm not sure on the food but may try it sometime.

While their beer selection, or at least their tap beer selection, may not have been all that great,…read morethis was actually still a pretty decent pub, though that may have had something to do with the beer garden out the back. Yeah, it is your typical suburban-type pub, even though you could consider Richmond to actually be bordering on being in the country. The service as good, though I can't say that the pub is all that flash.

The food is absolutely incredible. I can't recommend the steak enough. You get what you pay for,…read morethe portions are huge and taste amazing. The nachos and Fat Ricky burger are massive! The decor is wonderful since the renovation.

Sure, there beer selection wasn't really that great, but it was okay, and it wasn't too rowdy either, though that might have been the fact that I was here on a Sunday evening. The service itself was pretty good though, but it was really the beer garden that stood out, especially since it also had a pretty decent sized stage in it as well. Yeah, I liked this place.

It was a bit of a hike to get to this pub from the railway station, but it was eventually worth it…read more I guess this is more one of those places that is best reached by car, and is probably more a local pub than otherwise. However, that doesn't mean that it is a bad pub. In fact, it was quite the opposite. The atmosphere was great, and very relaxing as well. In fact, when I was here, they happened to have some live music out in the beer garden, and the beer garden, while small, was also quite charming. Oh, and the service, yeah, the service was also pretty good as well.

From new decor to a fully surfaced car park the pub is gleaming. The Alfredo area has been extended and paved with new furniture and a wonderful location to sit on a warm summer's day. The interior is now more plush and relaxing making it inviting to family and friends. The outside of the heritage hotel is attractive but a journey inside is well worth your time.

Okay, the service wasn't bad, and I actually found the staff to be rather friendly, however as a pub, it really didn't jump out at me in the way that other pubs seem to, even in the local area. In one sense the beers on tap were rather limited, and in another sense it felt, well, somewhat old, sort of like an Old Man's pub. Nah, I think I'll pass on this one in the future.

Just your average pub. Clean place, cold beer. It was a little noisy though. Several teens were…read moreseated out in the front near the entrance and thought yelling, shouting and screaming at the top of their voice was appropriate. It was a bit disappointing when there were only around 15 people in the place with so much noise being generated by a handful of idiots. The bar tender/staff did nothing to quiet them down.

A SOLID ROCKIN' JOINT…read more The Fitzroy Hotel located in Windsor has been an established watering hole for locals since 1853. I wasn't around for opening day - I just know this from reading a blurb on TrueLocal.com.au. The blurb also said: "With a recent refurbishment this pub is now renowned for the live music and live entertainment acts. The bistro here serves up traditional pub food, with hamburgers and pizza to meat. There is a wide selection of beer here both imported and local." A review on that site from HeyPesto stated: "The Fitzroy is pumping on the weekends and is an awesome place for a meal, a drink and live music. Once the bands finish their is a decent DJ who plays for hours. Their steaks are highly recommended!" Pesto has pretty much summed it up. Checked out the Fitzroy one night at the end of November 2012. There were plenty of posters for past and future rock bands. Good ones too. A rockin hard core band was playing in the AC/DC tradition of Sydney. Loud and good. The singer complimented the bistro, but I didn't try the food. I've heard the steaks here are awesome. Plenty of good draft beers on tap, including a killer pale ale 2 DIE 4. No bad vibes experienced from the staff or the patrons - even with my American accent. Actually they were openly friendly. Outer Sydney can get pretty damn rough and Australia doesn't pussify the guys like they do in America. Sorry dudes, but it's true. ** Hawaii and New York exempted. I used to live down the road from here. If I still did I'd for sure be hangin' at the Fitz with cab fare in my pocket. Five stars guys - you deserve it. How's this for a first review on Yelp? Don't think I'm over-generous - check out my review of the Heritage Hotel down the road in Wilberforce.
