On a sunny day there is no better outlook. Views of Alexandra gardens and the Princes Briidge. Built into the old shipping vaults add a bit of history. Beer , wine and gourmet sausage sizzle!

Beeee

The seafood related dishes are nice, recommend the cocktail as well . But the staff are just too friendly that they checked on us frequently, which gave us pressure to stay longer without refill.

Lara Hook

Bottles of bubbles overlooking the water on a sunny day. The tart and the calamari were delicious. Fab and friendly waitstaff .

Sally Jacob

Friendly staff , great food (especially the lamb ribs , chicken breast and steak sandwich ), one thing I didn't like about the place is ordering at the bar .

Tm Bo

Right on the Yarra river . Busy mostly in the summer. Has outdoor seating . Decent menu and range of beer wine and spirits .

Lara Hook

One of the best places to enjoy good weather with a drink. Glasses or bottles of bubbles make it lovely summertime hang.

Pedro Merces

Great place to spend an afternoon or evening by the Yarra - plenty of food & beverage selections available.

Marc Moma

Had a good tasting burger and a cider . Was a good deal . And: perfect located beside Yarra river

Albrecht

Great location, nice view and good vibe. They drive an oyster-cart around. Friendly staff

Nazanin Karimnia

Come here for a great view if Yarra and enjoy your coffee or your beer

Mimi Taher

Love the venue but definitely need to improve their cocktail menu specially for the summer

Dave P

Very enjoyable friday afternoon sitting in the winter sun (with the help of a heater). The Asahi is expensive , so i just didn't have one. Carlton Draught for me!

Paul Canterbury

This is a great place. Good beer , nice views ; who cold ask for more.

Darcy Todd

Epic riverside bar , with a great atmosphere, I even wrote a blog about it :) https://socialeventsmelbourne.com.au/riverland-bar/

Josh Wayman

Find a spot in the sun as the shade can get a bit chilly

Emma Dilemma

By no means a cheap drink , but well worth it on a balmy summer night in Melbourne. If such a thing still exists...

Aaron Styles

The only place I know to get mulled wine . Also, cheap Patron Coffee XO :-)

Michael Woods

Riverland bar! best flipping cheese platter in town , it's a must get! personal fav. blue goats cheese , walnut and fig on a cheeky cracker.. mmm!

Janelle Depetro

great outdoor setting , food is delicious but the drinks are way overpriced, $15 for a pint of Asahi ?!

Chris Bothwell

Great location and great breakfasts . There's better lunches on fed square though.

Simon Crowe

Get a pint of asahi , it's a bargain at $15, buy one in japan and you're looking at ¥1200..

Adam Jorlen

Spiced lamb sausage and a pot of Carlton 10$.

Esther Sugihto

Get the duck and pistachio sausage and a glass of champagne , and watch the cyclists run over the pedestrians on the yarra

YogaChicky

Breakfast on the weekends is excellent but be warned: they don't do variations on their menu. Service is decidedly average.

Richard Marsh

Try the mulled wine . Steamy warm and nourishing on a cold night :) delicious yummm

Brett Lider

Great for a post bike-rental ride drink.

Dean Forde

Don't have a pot of Asahi - $8.50 is daylight robberry. Do go for breakfast /coffee meetings with guests from out of town in summer.

David Iwanow

Get ripped off on pints, you can drink cheaper else where

Fed Square

Grab a snag and VB grenade at their outdoor BBQ . Read more

Sai Rajeev

Nice place to relax :D

Alison Lloyd

The best sausages and beer . Great after a game at MCG. Shhh... Don't tell anyone!

Mariella

Riverland you need to get yourself some craft beers

David Rose

Pot of Asahi $9!! Burning holes in the wallet

Alexander Edwards

They don't do variations on the breakfasts .

Seph Shepard

No vegetarian ciabatta rolls.

Andrew Sayer

Hey guys. Should I buy a pint of Asahi ?

MrBuzzy

'no changes to pizza orders'... Yeah, because it's hard work to leave off an ingredient when making pizza .

Scott R

The pork belly bites are the perfect balance of sweet and spicy .

nyang wan

The best freedom

Stephen Colman

Overpriced beers , but can't beat the atmosphere in Summer

Stephen Tan

Aaron Clement

Expensive pints, even for Melbourne.

Scott Rhodie

eloi lefort

Manque de place et les boisons (non-alcolisées) sont trop petite. Il mette la moitié de glaçon dans le verre et le reste de jus ou sodas . Bien pour les bière mais horrible pour le reste.
