Located in the backstreets of Fitzroy, Melbourne. The Standard Hotel brings you the best pub food, cold beers & live music that Fitzroy has to offer. Gimmick-free and character-rich, The Standard Hotel has been dedicated to facilitating the fine art of good times since 1865. All and sundry are welcome with open arms - from the upper echelons of Fitzroyalty to wide-eyed out-of-towners.
The famous front bar is forged on a winning combination of quality conversation, drunken poetry and retro kitsch. There's an inescapable warm feeling of nostalgia that comes with securing a cherished seat for one out of the tap under Kevin Murray's Brownlow and "Boony for PM" propaganda. The jewel in The Standard crown is the sprawling, iconic (so says us) beer garden.

A Morricone esque guitar line at the beginning of the opening title track [Canyons] suggests the scope of Pickering's vision and his impressive skill. He is capable of almost single handedly creating captivating music in a variety of styles.
His influences are impeccable: Neil Young comes to mind when his guitar goes into overdrive, Paul McCartney when the melodies get under your skin, Big Star with his DIY pop sensibility and even Rufus Wainwright at times.Back when Buck Owens was a boy in Texas and before Merle Haggard's family moved from Oklahoma you might wonder what went on in Bakersfield, California.
