Stumbled upon this place by accident and its now my #1 recommendation for Melbourne to anyone with an.interest in beer and an amazing view & atmosphere
Sitting on the Yarra river , under the Yarra pedestrian bridge , this is one of the coolest outdoor bars in Melbourne .
Nice views , good place to have a Sunday session if drinks. Snack menu could be improved, with mostly packaged nuts and pringles dominating the list
Beers while on a little island in the middle of the river on a sunny Melbourne afternoon. What else could you ask for?
Such a great spot. Gets a bit crowded at times but they've a grumpy security guy to make sure it doesn't get out of hand.
Come here on a summer afternoon on a weekday for excellent views of the river and a nice selection of beers . Can get busy post work.
Great little bar in the middle of the river . Go here for a beer in the afternoon sun. Friday afternoon is normally busy with folks finishing up the week.
Gets pretty packed but reasonably priced drinks and a lovely suntrap by the Yarra
Really really cool bar/restaurant. It's hidden under a bridge on the Yarra River and serves the best cocktails , I wrote a blog about it https://socialeventsmelbourne.com.au/ponyfish-island/
Always worth a visit no matter if it's summer or winter. Get a beer and enjoy watching the river flow by
Loved the local brew and the chilled atmosphere. A must if you're near the Yarra on a sunny day!
Cocktails are well done and artfully presented. View from middle of the river is happily unique.
Great Little Open Air Bar under the bridge . Perfect for summer nights! Try Pelorus Sparkling Wine .
Great view of the Yarra and Melbourne city . The venue is a bit shabby and attracts lots of tourists .
Cool place to hang out and have cold beer in the river . Right under the pedestrian bridge . Great location.
Love!!! Great snacks and range of drinks and who can beat the spot!
Outstanding during the strange cold of Melbourne summer. Come grab a beer without thinking twice
Awesome place! So chill and great vibes. Staff were really friendly .
Very nice place to have a drink. Stunning view of Melbourne skyline.
cute little bar with nice views on the yarra
Great grub, awesome beer and cocktail specials , and the location can't be beat.
There are few things better in this world than drinking a longneck of Coopers at Ponyfish on a warm sunny day. Perfect.
Perfect on a sunny afternoon with a glass of white and/or a pint ????
A great place for a coffee , beer or wine . Great service and the location is unbeatable!
The views are the best and it's not expensive in relation to its great location. Good vibes. Food not great.
Beer is alright. But I don't think you come for the beer or food. More for the fact that you smack dab in the middle of the Yara!
Fantastic burgers , small range of beer and wine available but beware, it's outside and there are smokers around ruining a great eat
Everyone should add this venue to their itinerary. Nestled under the pedestrian footbridge , this is a must any day of the week.
Great little spot IN the Yarra River with good tunes and an almost dive bar quality.
Have a drink in the middle of the Yarra, why not? Good spicy mulled wine in winter.
Nice location, ginger beer and good music choice. Perfect stop when showing someone melb cbd.
Awesome to have a beer and a BBQ on an island ! Good service and a great location. Loving it.
The sangria is great - perfect spot on a nice day ☀️
Love the burgers ... Place brave the island in the winter for a true Melbourne experience.
Perfectly situated in the heart of the Yarra river
Cute little spot under the Flinders footbridge , especially if it is sunny out.
Sunset views and expensive brews. Bring sunscreen .
The bar has a great location and a beautiful view
Fav place for Friday after work drinks
Find some shade, fins a beer you've never tried and you're golden.
great for a drink on a sunny day!
The view and the beer .
It's a bar under a bridge ! What's not to like?
amazing location that makes it all worthwhile
Great place to watch the Yarra flow past on a warm summer afternoon.
kick back with a cool drink with the wind in your hair
Fun place to relax on the river .
Have some local beer under a bridge and next to a boat!
Great local brew . Must have :)
Great view and nice beer choices .
Great casual grunge-esque bar in a laneway so typical of Melbourne. Cash only at the bar. - Kelvin Wong
