This is a nice pub for a meal or for knockoff work drinks that overlooks the river. The Pumpkin and Chicken Salad was delicious and reasonably priced for the amount of food. Great selection of wines and cocktails. QR Code ordering makes it easy to dine as a group. Overall, a venue I will probably return to as the weather gets warmer.

Had such a lovely time with my husband, in the winter igloo to celebrate his birthday. The whole experience was so beautiful, and food was just simply divine. Service was amazing, in particular from Nikita and Chris who were really warm and attentive. To top it off, they had happy hours from 4-7pm! Highly recommended and we would definitely be back!

Ideas fantastic. But the group I went with all felt the share platter could have done with a little more bread/crackers.everyone enjoyed there mains. Have to say would have liked to be given clean cutlery for main course. Staff were nice. Shame the river is so dirty an full of rubbish right outside.but that's melbourne council not the hotel.great spot. Enjoyed.

Went to the Wharf Hotel for their igloo experience. For the price it’s definitely worth it! You’re right on the water, the igloos are so cozy- heaters, blankets and cushions. They were decorated beautifully and made the experience. We had a view of the Ferris wheel from our igloo which was insane. The food options were great- we had an entree to share, then got to select from a list of mains. I loved my lamb it was cooked perfectly. We also tried some of their winter special drinks and some classic cocktails.

We highly recommend the igloo experience whilst it's still on. It was peaceful and intimate, with excellent service.The food was delicious and I highly recommend the mussels, they were exquisite! The staff were welcoming and attentive and made my husband's birthday a beautiful night to remember. It is on every winter, so if you miss it this year, I would definitely recommend looking for it next year, we will definitely be coming back!
