- Inviting modern interior
It’s hard to walk past Southwharf’s BangPop and not be drawn in. The fresh and delicious Thai smells, the bright colours, the inviting modern interior, the bikes that line the exterior. It all seems to gesticulate wildly at you, telling you to come on in for a good time.Not just a name that describes the look and feel and taste of the popular restaurant specialising in Thai street food, the titular “bang” actually translates to mean a village situated on a stream. Which this is. If nothing else, BangPop boasts one hell of a view of the Yarra and the city skyline.But then, it does boast much more. Delicious Thai dishes designed for sharing, a bustling atmosphere, and a large, cheery industrial interior. Put it this way: BangPop suits functions, whether a large and raucous dinner, or a unique launch party, or corporate drinks.BangPop is found along Southwharf Promenade, overlooking the Yarra and the city. It’s easiest to walk or catch a tram down Spencer Street, then wander down by the water. Southern Cross is the nearest train station.
