Melbourne's Pinnacle Hotel Fire

Melbourne's Pinnacle Hotel
Founder and Publisher. Based in Brisbane.
Howard launched '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 to become Australia's largest – and only national – street press while forging a digital-first imperative in the mid-naughties. Social media remains a complete mystery to him. He's been spotted at raves, hip hop concerts, Motown revivals, judged battle of the bands, shot video for opening night and national awards red carpet, partnered with music industry showcases, comedy festivals and myriad other cultural productions ... and he interviewed Eddie Izzard. 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.
