The Builders Arms Hotel is a landmark public house on Gertrude Street, Fitzroy. The essence of the Builders is unchanged after more than 150 years of trading, but in new hands it is restored and renewed.
The bar, bistro and garden are open seven days from midday. The dining room in the heart of The Builders Arms takes its name from George Orwell’s essay Moon Under Water.
Moon Under Water is open for dinner Wednesday to Sunday along with Sunday lunch and takes reservations.
A private dining room is also available on the first floor.

Pretty much a suit and tie pub
The first time I came here was on a Thursday afternoon when I was exploring Smith St and noticed that it was full of people in suits and ties. I suspected that they were having some lunch and spending the rest of the day drinking (namely because there is no office buildings in the area). I liked the beer garden out the back, but didn't really think much of the rest of the pub. When I returned recently I noticed that the place was still pretty much full of suits and ties, which really isn't my scene, so I finished my beer and left (though I still liked the beer garden).
