Boatbuilders Yard

Melbourne


Boatbuilders attracts a mixed crowd of office workers, travellers and Melburnians for its waterside views and backyard vibe. There's a great range of local gin and tap beers, plus Aussie wines by the glass and breakfast, lunch and dinner menus. There's a big screen for sporting and special events and DJs often spin at weekends in summer.
