Why it's worth checking out
Bar 88 sits on Riverside Quay in Southbank, Melbourne's lively riverside arts and dining precinct just across from the CBD. With 25 reviews behind its 2.9 rating, it's a well-regarded spot.
The appeal is a relaxed drink with a lovely riverside outlook — a bar that's a lovely spot for a drink and some atmosphere along the popular Southbank promenade by the Yarra. Its location makes it an easy and welcoming destination.
Drinks, events and trading hours change over time, and it can get busy at peak times. To make the most of your visit, it's worth checking the current details directly before you go.
