The Boatbuilders Yard

The Boatbuilders Yard operates as a significant hospitality venue within the South Wharf precinct, occupying a heritage-listed shed structure. The establishment features an expansive outdoor area equipped with deck chairs and communal tables, alongside sheltered interior sections. Its location on the southern bank of the Yarra River provides clear views of the city skyline and direct access to the pedestrian promenade. The menu focuses on shared plates, burgers, and a selection of local and international beverages. Situated adjacent to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, the pub serves as a primary social hub for delegates and local professionals. Its open-plan design accommodates varying group sizes, ranging from small social gatherings to large-scale corporate functions. The proximity to the Polly Woodside tall ship adds to the maritime character of the site. Facilities include multiple bars and dedicated spaces for private bookings throughout the week.
