Melbourne's Pinnacle Hotel Fire

Melbourne's Pinnacle Hotel
Founder and Publisher. Based in Brisbane.
Howard started Scene Magazine in 1993. Paul Keating was Prime Minister. Whitney, Janet and Mariah all had Aussie #1s and Mark Zuckerberg was 9. Over 30 years he's overseen the growth of scenestr magazine to become Australia's largest – and only national – street press while forging a digital-first imperative for the title in the mid-naughties. He's judged more battle of the bands than he cares to remember and proud of the myriad media partnerships the company has earned across the music, arts and comedy sectors. He likes Star Trek and a good Oxford Comma – way too much fun at parties.

Fitzroy's Pinnacle Hotel caught fire this morning causing up to $200,000 damage.


The period, live music venue on Georges Road remained closed today after posting a statement on its Facebook Page:
As you may have seen we've had ourselves a bit of a mischief. Everyone is ok, and we'll be back bigger and better soon. We'll keep you posted on re-opening.
See you soon friends X

News.com.au reported the likely cause of the fire was a clothes dryer. The fire broke out around 9:30 this morning.
