From intimate dining rooms to a stunning open terrace, the pub delivers fully serviced events featuring a seasonal menu and delicious drinks. Its prime location near the edge of the Yarra River's scenery in the heart of South Wharf is the cherry on top.

The Prince, St Kilda
At The Prince, EOFY bevvies never looked so good. The much-loved art deco hotel is a popular go-to for events and functions in Melbourne. And for good reason, too.
