Reviews for Pilgrim Bar

We visited Pilgrim Bar on a Friday afternoon, from 12pm to around 4pm, and had such a lovely time! The location, right on the Yarra River, is perfect for a casual catch-up with stunning views. Watching the rowers glide past as we ate made the experience even more enjoyable. The venue itself is super charming, with a relaxed outdoor seating area featuring both bar seating and plenty of tables. For lunch, we shared pizzas and a salad along with a few drinks. I loved my classic margherita pizza, it had a beautifully made base that was perfect. My girlfriend raved about the cracked freekeh salad she ordered, and one of our friends thoroughly enjoyed his pizza as well. The drinks were great, the service was quick, and the staff were so lovely, checking in on us throughout our meal and kindly reminding us as closing time approached. Pilgrim Bar has such a great vibe and is an ideal riverside spot for a drink and a bite to eat. Its location on the Yarra makes it a fantastic starting point for a trip into Melbourne’s CBD. The food was delicious, and while we didn’t go inside, there’s an indoor area with toilets and possibly more seating near the kitchen. It’s worth noting that while we didn’t book, it might be a good idea to check ahead, especially on weekends when it’s likely to get busy. We also noticed they were offering a gin high tea during our visit, which looked amazing, definitely something I’d recommend checking out if that’s your style. Overall, Pilgrim Bar is a great spot to relax by the water with good food, great service, and a beautiful view. Don’t miss it!

Thanks for accommodating us with a free round of drinks after the arguments/disturbances at the table next to us. This was so kind and we appreciated it very much. All the staff were incredible, hardworking, and kind. The drinks and food were all divine, thank you! The music is not too loud, and it's not too busy like other spots in the area along the river. We sat so comfortably under the heaters that it felt like we were on a tropical holiday.

3.5 STARS Went to Gin & Tea cocktails with group at 5:30pm. The drinks were OK. Think the hot tea would have been better at end, rather than start. I just realised, shouldn't the hot tea been free flowing? How come we only got it at start? The food was ok too. I think the desserts didn't pair well with the cocktails The atmosphere was good. The staff were good. Will I recommend this gin & tea experience? Maybe not BUT I will recommend the venue for a drink or two.

We went to the Pilgrim to celebrate a birthday and booked for the gin high tea. We were looked after by Olivia who was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our experience. She explained how the high tea would run and also about the ingredients used in the cocktails and food which was much appreciated. Everything was brought out in a timely manner, her service was excellent. The high tea came with a platter of savoury and sweet food and also 3 gin inspired cocktails (all were delicious!) and bottomless sparkling was also included in the 2 hour package. Would highly recommend if you’re into Australian native inspired food and drinks in addition to the beautiful waterside view as a bonus!

High tea was delightful, tasty and nicely presented. Loved the warm chai cocktail! Very lovely, friendly waitress who gave the right amount of attention and information without being intrusive. In fact all the staff were so helpful. Had a special afternoon with family 😊
