Riverbar's Italian Summer Pop-Up
Spend your summer sipping spritzes and eating octopus bruschetta by the river.
Overview
A taste of the Mediterranean is coming to Riverbar and Kitchen this summer, with the Eagle Street Pier spot hosting an Italian-themed pop-up right through until the end of February. Every day across the season, you'll sit beneath umbrellas, grab Peronis from the beer cart, kick back amongst the Amalfi-inspired decor and soak in the river view. And, if you're gathering the gang and pretending you're all on vacation, you can all sip your way through a spritzes made with beer, Aperol, orange and lemonade.
You can also treat your tastebuds to Italian bites, with the menu changing each month — starting with pancetta croquettes, kingfish crudo and octopus bruschetta in December.
Plus, between Sunday, January 16–Sunday, January 30 when the Australian Open hits Melbourne, Riverbar will set up big screens. Cocktails, food, river views, tennis — that's how you level up your next sports-viewing session.
And, in February, there'll be live music every weekend, including from Hatchie and DVNA.
Entry is free, but booking a table in advance is recommended.
