The Empress Hotel (formerly the Empress of India Hotel) is a pub and live music venue located at 714 Nicholson Street, in the inner Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy North.
[edit] History
The pub was opened in 1873 by John Bourke, and named in honour of Queen Victoria, who had been proclaimed the Empress of India on the 1 January 1877. In the late 20th century, it was frequented by employees of the North Fitzroy tram depot across the road, which has since fallen out of regular use.
In the late 1980s, it became a live music venue, and has played a part in the Melbourne indie rock scene since then, hosting shows by many local bands and some touring acts.
