The Boatbuilders Yard

A great place to sit by the Yarra on the deck in the sun. Service can be a little slow, but the location (if you’re patient) is worth the wait.
Been a couple of times now, had breakfast here - the chorizo beans & red velvet pancakes. Beans were incredible, pancakes left a little to be desired.
Coffee is good and soy chai lattes not too bad either.

We had our sons graduation lunch here. The food was ok only. For the price of the food and the fact we had to go up and order at the counter, it did not feel like value for money. Not memorable so not likely to go back again.

Great location, friendly and fast service, a great mix of indoor and outdoor seating areas with great views of the river and the city skyline. Was somewhat confusing as a first time visitor whether it was table service or bar service but the prompt and friendly manner in which staff came to our table when our drinks were running low answered that! Beef burgers and Haloumi chips also delicious, well done.

Disappointing! This place has so much to offer as it is in a prime location, good set up and nice vibe. Meals were less than ordinary, my wife had American Super Salad with Chicken (large serving) whilst I settled on the Burger. Salad serving was so small more like entree & Burger was average. Took 40 minutes for our meals as they couldn’t find us sitting on the deck. When we raised the Salad with the waiter there was no reaction nor follow up! Melbourne deserves better,

What a beautiful place to sit and watch the world so by! And while I did enjoy the visitors they only came down after the people who were eating left!

I've been here a number of times and it's consistently good. The food and the service is great. Shae is a hospitality treasure!

Food was really nice. Service was terrible took 45minuets before anyone noticed we still didn't have our food! Just a misunderstanding apparently.

Went for breakfast. Food was tasty, staff were nice but coffee was cold and wayyyyy overpriced for what I got.some bread, 2 eggs, 1 rash of bacon, and some mushrooms with a flat white for $25! I was still hungry afterwards.

The perfect venue for a sunny Melbourne day. Situated on the Yarra near the Expo Centre and the Polly Woodside Museum this bar offers great food and a good selection of beers and wines. Sit indoor our outdoors if you prefer to catch some sun and admire the views of central Melbourne.

Solid work, but not inspired. Tap list is standard fare which could be a lot more creative in a city like Melbourne.

Went there for a work lunch and had a good time with our group of 10+. Nice location, quick and friendly service. Decent food at an average price for the area. A couple of hiccups with paying the bill but otherwise a good experience.

Fantastic, great customer service, Billie was immediately attentive and very friendly, all the staff were great, didn’t wait long for the food and the food quality was fantastic, and well priced for the area. 100% recommend. Also good vegan options.

More than a bar. Great menu with GF, DF & Vegan options. I had the “Pumpkin Baked eggs” for Breakfast, thoroughly enjoyable. Great coffee with alternative milk options. I returned for another coffee later. Relaxing atmosphere with lots of tables, pleasant, on the ball attentive staff.
Back again, still superb.

Great outdoor and indoor pub. On a sunny day this place is the perfect venue in Melbourne, by the water, somewhat protected by wind and no shadows. In colder weather they have plenty of heaters and it's comfy. It has a great beer selection of craft and big brand beers. The menu is what you'd expect from a pub and they have a great burger. We have a group of 24 and the staff were super friendly and we had a great day.

Very nice bar with a stunning view. Food is good but small portions. The bar is busy, on saturdays but service doesn't take too long. Perfect place for summer drinks.

This bar and cafe is a great place to come to for breakfast lunch or dinner. Plenty of space outside for larger crowds, or more intimate dining inside.

Well layed out with different areas allowing different group gathering places. Nice open areas. River frontage. Great to unwind with a cool ale after a hard day.

Aah well. The lamb shoulder on menu needs to be placed under kids section. Tiny lamb piece and not wirth the money. Got pics to prove as well. The beef brisket my friend got seemed fine though.

One of the best places in Melbourne to have your coffee/beer and chill out in the sun lounges:) This place is one of our favorites!

Very disappointing! I ordered the BBQ Bean Braise for breakfast (comes with chorizo, double smoked bacon, beans and sourdough). I literally found one bit of diced chorizo in the mix. I did not taste any bacon, especially double smoked bacon. The tomato sauce was over powering and tasted like it was out of a tin can (I actually have no doubt it was from a tin). The coffee tasted okay, however at best it was luke warm when it was brought out to me. The service was average too.
