1. The Boatbuilders Yard
An excellent perch by the Yarra and a fondness for fun and games (hello Bocce sand pit) has made The Boatbuilders Yard a perennial favourite for Melbournians before and after the big game.
2. An Di
An Di is a modern Vietnamese restaurant in the vibrant Docklands Precinct. Bringing the rich taste of Asia to Melbourne, the menu features beloved classics like Pho and Bun Cha, and Bun Bo Hue, crafted with fresh ingredients and authentic flavours.
3. Bhoj
Packed full of bold colours and punchy flavours, Bhoj brings Indian cuisine to life with a menu that spans the mountainous north to coastal southern India. The extensive vegetarian offerings are a winner, as is the ‘quick menu’ in case you need a fast feed before the game.
4. Merrywell Burger Bar
Dive into deliciously juicy US-style burgers at this Southbank institution Merrywell Burger Bar. Once you’ve had your fill of sliders, daquiris and shakes, grab some fried chicken bites as a treat for the short walk to Marvel Stadium.
5. The General Assembly
An iconic South Wharf pub, The General Assembly is the perfect spot for a pre or post-game feed. Soak up picturesque waterfront views, tuck into hearty pub classics and wash it all down with a refreshing beverage (think tap beers, local wines and delicious cocktails).
