The Waterside Hotel

  • Pub
  • Restaurant

In the heart of Melbourne’s midtown, there’s a destination built for every kind of occasion.

At The Waterside Hotel, begin with the familiar – live sport, pub favourites, cold beers, and late-night entertainment. Move upstairs to Past / Port, the Southeast Asian dining room with bold flavours, warm service and a transportive atmosphere, before continuing to the rooftop bar for signature cocktails, '70s-inspired energy and sweeping views across the Yarra and Melbourne skyline.

Across Levels 1, 4 and 5, their private event spaces are designed to suit any occasion from intimate dining experiences to larger celebrations. Whether you’re coming in to spend the day, or passing through the city, make Waterside your new go-to.
