Great Texas-style BBQ meat served on paper and sold by the gram. The front bar, Loretta’s is a moodily lit space with dark wood and two open fireplaces. There are outdoor tables too. They're known for their seasonal cocktails, whiskey and craft beer. If you can't decide simply tell the bartenders what you like and watch them whip up a treat!

Super popular for a reason. They are a specialty coffee roaster and award winning cafe with epic brunch options and so many types of coffee. Set in an old warehouse it has a cool Fitzroy vibe. It is busy though so expect to wait for a table or grab a coffee to go.
