  We popped in last week to get a late lunch after a morning of museums and mooching. The cavernous room was a surprise after the slightly seedy street frontage. But the gas heaters were doing an impressive job of making the large space cosy nevertheless. And the funky decor and greenery was interesting. The staff were super friendly, and impressive in their awareness of gluten free options and subtleties. Special mention goes to the GF fish and chips – proper battered fish. A first in a casual dining restaurant or pub that I can remember. Hey this is just pub grub really, and what we had wasnt exceptional. But its fine for what it is. I imagine its a fun place when its busy and rocking. My burger was a bit meh. Daughter gave a to the fish and chips. But it was all edible and tasty.

  Went here for a Birthday on a Sunday afternoon. Fairly quiet compared to the old days of Little Creatures. Staff were frinedly and attentive but vibe lacked a little. Bar food was delicious and generous. Worth checking out if your after a couple of drinks and a casual feed!

  The decor is something else! The food was above average, the jumbo Parma was exactly that… Jumbo. Drinks are reasonably priced and the atmosphere is fantastic. We had a ball as a group and will definitely be heading back. Great experience.

  Loved the happy hour experience. Got together with couple of friends for Christmas Party and we had so much.
  I wish there was dance floor to lite up the happy hour though.
  Amazing customer service experience!

  We ducked into Fitzroy social in between a wedding ceremony and reception at the nearby town hall. This was my first experience at the venue in the day time and it was as cool as the evening. Given we hadnt had lunch my husband and I shared the giant parma. When cut in half these still amounted to a sizeable portion.

  The chips accompanying these were absolutely delicious too. Some others at the table got the regular sized parma and it wasnt too far behind size wise. Pizzas and burgers were also enjoyed the only issue was cold cappuccinos but new ones were made upon complaint. What really wins here is the atmosphere, in fact if you are a quirky couple you should totally have your wedding here!

  Original review
  The old Little Creatures is now a breathtakingly cool space with pops of neon, elegant chandeliers, a beautiful bright wall mural and stunning ceiling suspended greenery. The place was absolutely buzzing with lively music pulsing and friendly staff.

  The menu is super Brunswick forget merely vegetarian it is all manner of vegan, gluten free and dairy free options. You have to order at the counter and I had significant difficulty with the man who took my order, he processed it incorrectly three times. It took about 10 minutes for me to pay which was annoying as I was absolutely starving. Sure enough the order came to the table incorrect (one of the transactions he had refunded) but we got there in the end.

  We had two spicy salmon salads at the table neither of which were spicy but what was frustrating was the inconsistency of plating. My partner literally had a scattering of salmon on the plate and he’s 95% sure it was tinned. Maybe charge slightly more and make it substantial? Not to mention fresh. A friend faired better with her quantity of fish.

  I got the eye filet with cinnamon sweet potato wedges. The cinnamon was quite subtle and the wedges too oily for my liking which worked out well as I’m dieting so I only had a few and didn’t even want any more. The steak was lovely and the bernaise a nice accompaniment.

  We had a selection of burgers at the table; kale and beef, homestyle cheeseburger and the kimchi. All well received other than the kimchi deemed average. They had mulled cider which was absolutely delicious but they ran out very early in the night.

  Panko crumbed cheese curds were super oily for me (I mean I know they are deep fried but I don’t need to taste oil dripping out as I bite in) but the pork poutine was a hit. They do run a pretty rocking happy hour for majority of the night which is always a plus. Great atmosphere and killer set up but the food and service a bit hit and miss. Definite strong potential
