Paul YatesOctober 12, 2012If you love violent diarrhoea, losing control of your bowels or are too cheap to pay for a colonic irrigation, try the chilli con carne. It's guaranteed to give you what you're after within 10 mins!- James RidenourAugust 28, 2012A wonderful location on the river with amazing city view. Lots of great pub food and open from breakfast to late. On a sunny day there is not better place. This place won't be a secret for long!
- James RidenourAugust 22, 2012This is a great place for a beer and a gourmet snag right by the river. Look for it near the Pollywoodside near the convention centre. This won't be a secret for much longer. The view is amazing!
May DayOctober 31, 2015A great stumble upon find. Beautiful hang out place, plenty of places to sit, relax and enjoy the dock over the water. Great for a beer out two.
Jessie LeeJanuary 7, 2015My all time favourate beer garden. There are deck chairs lined up on the waterfront for people to chill.
Heidi YatesNovember 15, 2012Ask for an extra strong, extra hot Latte - delicious. And if its cold outside they will put on the heaters, have blankets and also an umbrella you can borrow and return when you can.
Susan ParsonsSeptember 12, 2015Food was nice. Very attentive service and my waiter was very friendly and pleasant. Ambiance is good. Location very nice; along the waterfront at Southbank.
Rohan NichollsNovember 15, 2015Great location, friendly staff, excellent food. We had a birthday party here and it was awesome. Highly recommended.
Derek WilsonNovember 21, 2014Great vibe right on the water with some local craft beers and good vegetarian food options.
Sigrid de CastellaNovember 5, 2017Pretty average pub-grub kind of food with a focus on fried food and limited inside seating. Order drinks and food at the bar. The spiced cauliflower was awesome, the pulled lamb salad was overpriced.- June BoslandFebruary 23, 2012Just had the prawn mango mint small dish - it has a creamy dressing that I didn't expect. Avoid ordering if you don't want cream based salad. Prawns fresh, no mango taste, nice Vietnamese mint flavor
Paull YoungNovember 19, 2012Great place for a coffee outside in the sun if you're at the Convention Center
Tracy MorganSeptember 7, 2016This place makes of mean Flat White. And their fruit and honey is always delicious.- Trisha CancillaJanuary 8, 2015Cute spot with great coffee and a yummy breakfast. Nice view of the Yarra River
Simone TreveanJune 20, 2015Great location, awesome breakfast by the river, will definitely come back ☺️
Carly HullsJanuary 5, 2016Great views and excellent drink recommendations from super friendly bar staff
Mike VirataJune 25, 2013The Boat builders Breakfast is a very tasty meal, with a freshly squeezed OJ, you'll be ready for any day
Alessandra RuffinoDecember 1, 2012Try the Arancini Balls, Meat Balls and Dumplings for great snacks at reasonable prices. Delicious.
Sam WellerJanuary 27, 2012The quiet achiever. Great place to sit in the sun, enjoy a Bevvy with great views of the city
- Marisa HerroSeptember 14, 2014Sunshine & cold drinks excellent service 'Rob' & awesome food +to places to come when in Melbourne
Security AnalystSeptember 18, 2015At lunchtime Ask about Bacon and egg roll, off menu. DONT even look at the muffins
Barbara TosonOctober 6, 2011Try kooinda local beer from boutique brewery!! Great chicken with pancetta main dish. Friendly staff :-)
Sarah TellingSeptember 22, 2011Best layout for an outdoor venue!! Fish and chips with beer on a summers day, perfect combo
Troy HerrmannNovember 10, 2012If you want Hot coffee don't come here. This is my forth cup in 2 days, after the first one I have repeatedly asked them to make sure it's hot. It's like warm at best! Are they scared I'll burn myself
Get a table near the river for some great summer people watching
Staff are great, good atmosphere and the food is awesome!- Security AnalystJune 5, 2018Kitchen is not in the main building. In cold weather food does not always piping hot
