About us

Riverside celebrations, dining and cocktails in Southbank

Bring your corporate celebration, birthday or hens gathering to our riverside bar and restaurant in Southbank. At Left Bank Melbourne, we pair Yarra River and city views with cocktails, Modern Australian dining and a choice of indoor and outdoor function areas. Our team can help arrange food, drinks, theming and entertainment around the style of gathering you have in mind.

Choose our Cocktail Lounge for a gathering with its own cocktail bar and doors opening towards the promenade. The Terrace offers three sections that can be booked separately or combined, with lounges and retractable awnings. Our outdoor Atrium provides another city-and-river backdrop for team drinks, birthdays and farewell celebrations.

Inside, the Main Restaurant sits at the heart of the venue, while the Main Bar offers city and river views for social occasions. Our Private Dining Room is a semi-private VIP lounge, with leather seating and a gold-tiled ceiling, suited to corporate dinners, birthdays, hens celebrations and baby showers. Please discuss your guest numbers and preferred arrangement with us so we can confirm the appropriate area.

For end-of-year events, we offer seated dining and canapé formats, alongside beverage packages and optional food stations or arrival drinks. Our regular menu includes small plates, seafood, steaks, pasta, pizza and vegetarian dishes. Let us know about dietary needs when booking so we can discuss suitable options.

Our bottomless brunch sessions are another option for a birthday or hens catch-up. Session menus and participation conditions apply, so confirm the details for your group. We are fully licensed and do not permit outside food or drinks, apart from one celebration cake per booking or event, with cakeage charges applying.

You will find us beside the Yarra, near Queensbridge Square and within walking distance of central train stations and tram connections. Paid public parking is available nearby.

summarizes
Guests consistently praise the outstanding, attentive service at Left Bank Melbourne, with standout staff like Sophie, Julia, Sarah, Alisha and Joe earning repeated shoutouts for their warmth and attentiveness. The bottomless brunch is a clear favourite, paired with great vibes, music and river views, making it popular for birthdays and hens celebrations. Some reviewers noted frustrations with QR-code-only ordering, slow food service and inconsistent dishes, but overall sentiment remains strongly positive thanks to the friendly team and lively atmosphere.
