The Catfish

The Catfish operates as a community-focused pub on Gertrude Street in Fitzroy. The venue maintains a diverse range of craft beers, with tap rotations frequently featuring both Victorian and interstate breweries. Patrons can access multiple bar areas and a rear courtyard designed for casual socialising. The kitchen provides a specific menu of American-inspired sandwiches and snacks, which serves as the primary food offering to accompany the various beverage selections available at the bar. Located a short walk from the Carlton Gardens, this establishment serves as a central point for the local arts and music scene. The upstairs bandroom hosts regular ticketed performances, including live music acts and stand-up comedy nights. Its position within the inner north makes it accessible via public transport links on Nicholson Street. The venue provides a utilitarian space for residents and visitors to engage with local subcultures while offering a consistent schedule of weekly entertainment events.
