Ah pub-club, it's taken us to just about every vaguely veg-friendly pub in the inner-north. We've been particularly thorough with the Fitzroy pub scene, then I was quite surprised to await at our pub-club map together with realise that we'd never checked out the Rainbow. It's been a Fitzroy mainstay since the 1870s together with survived a tumultuous menstruum of closures together with threatened development earlier eventually existence taken over past times the guys who used to run the nearby Lambs Go Bar.
Since early 2010, they've renovated it significantly together with appear to own got got things running pretty smoothly - there's alive music some nights, a glorious courtyard, together with a relaxed atmosphere (although the all-reggae playlist on the nighttime nosotros were at that spot was a flake odd). The bill of fare is built around measure pubby fare similar steaks together with burgers but has a pretty reasonable option of vego dishes every bit well. We passed upwardly the sweetness corn croquettes ($10), the vegan dark edible bean jambalaya ($21) together with the roast pumpkin salad ($17) together with both chose burgers. The Rainbow own got the first-class approach of offering all 3 of their burgers every bit either meaty or vego. The veg burger is pretty uncomplicated - only a big roasted plain mushroom - but it's cracking to live able to pick together with select a bit.
I couldn't resist the hot rod (with jalapenos, Monterey Jack cheese, pickled greenish tomato, lettuce together with chipotle aioli, $17), piece Cindy went for the Southern burger (Monterey Jack cheese, pickled greenish love apple tree together with lettuce amongst a Jack Daniels bbq sauce, $17). The master copy Southern burger has double-smoked bacon every bit well, together with I was imagining a wonderful footing inwards which they replaced it amongst tempehcon or something, but that was never going to happen.
The burgers were company - the mushrooms were cooked good plenty then that they didn't only plough into a soggy mess together with the trimmings were excellent. Mine was loaded upwardly amongst jalapenos which gave it a spicy kick, but the aioli together with cheese helped to piece of job on things nether command together with the purpose of pickled greenish love apple tree rather than big gross slices of actual love apple tree was a winning move. Cindy was pretty happy every bit well, mainly because of the first-class barbecue sauce together with fantastic chips. They're pretty pricey, but nosotros both walked out squeamish together with amount together with happy amongst the experience. Our pub-clubbing buddies all enjoyed their nutrient every bit well, although the jambalaya was a footling chilli-heavy.
The Rainbow is some other cracking Fitzroy pub, amongst a bright option of beers, an first-class bill of fare together with plenty of infinite to spread out inwards (at to the lowest degree early a Midweek evening). It'll almost surely earn itself a repeat pub-club see earlier likewise many months become past times (especially if Melbourne e'er genuinely gets warm plenty for us to sit down exterior inwards the courtyard).

http://www.therainbow.com.au/ Accessibility: The beer garden has a apartment entryway from the street together with on into the pub (I think). Meanwhile, piece there's a real modest mensuration upwardly from the street into the pub itself. Things are pretty spacious inside, amongst a mix of high together with depression tables, although the toilets are a flake to a greater extent than poky.
