If 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!

A 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!

This 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!

A 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.

My all time favourate beer garden. There are deck chairs lined up on the waterfront for people to chill.

Ask 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.

Food was nice. Very attentive service and my waiter was very friendly and pleasant. Ambiance is good. Location very nice; along the waterfront at Southbank.

Great vibe right on the water with some local craft beers and good vegetarian food options.

Pretty 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.

Just 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

This place makes of mean Flat White. And their fruit and honey is always delicious.

If 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
