Cargo Bar & Eatery

Cargo Bar & Eatery sits on Newquay Promenade in Melbourne's Docklands, the modern waterfront precinct on the western edge of the CBD. A popular bar and eatery, it makes the most of its lovely waterside location — combining quality food and drinks with a relaxed, sociable atmosphere and lovely views over the water, the kind of crowd-pleasing spot that suits a meal, a coffee or drinks by the harbour.

The appeal is that combination of quality food, a good drinks offering and a great waterfront Docklands setting, ideal for a relaxed lunch, a casual dinner, drinks with friends or a coffee with water views. With its lovely promenade position, Cargo has clearly won over a big, loyal crowd, and it's a popular spot for soaking up the Docklands waterfront atmosphere.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 2,600 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular waterfront venue fills up on weekends and warm evenings, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a meal, a drink or a coffee by the water, it's often just a matter of dropping in along the Docklands promenade.
