I loved this place. Very good selection of drinks. Excellent and reasonable food, good qr code, which as a single person trying to keep his seat is more and more important these days. good service, especially from Jasper on the 3rd time I visited. Much less busy than the bars nearer Flinders st station, still had large screens with the tennis on. Thoroughly recommended.

Had a very pleasant evening drinking a few beers and getting dinner here with a family member tonight. Have always walked past it between the DFO and the Casino, and I finally got to give it a go today. Well worth the wait. Very happy with the service that we received, both from the staff and meal quality. Can recommend the Fish Burger, and the Brisket Tacos

A tasty Angus beef burger with a nice dark beer next to the river, away from the sun in the hottest part of the day, with funk and disco music. Beautiful!!

The Boatbuilders Yard is a relaxed waterfront spot along the Yarra River. The open, breezy vibe makes it perfect for an easy drink or casual catch-up. Drinks come out quickly and the cocktails are consistently good. There’s plenty of space, so it never feels too crowded even during busy hours. Overall, a great place to hang with friends and enjoy the river atmosphere. Overall, a fun spot to chill with friends and enjoy good drinks by the water.

Went for lunch and really enjoyed the vibe — relaxed atmosphere and super friendly staff. Most of the food was great: brisket taco, hot chips, and pan-seared salmon were all spot on. The Peruvian Chicken Supreme was good, but the corn was a bit burnt and gave the dish a slightly burnt taste. Coffee was decent, but not strong — maybe just the beans. Overall, would recommend!
