Why it's worth checking out
Hopscotch sits on Riverside Quay in Southbank, right by the Yarra River in Melbourne's riverside precinct. A lively, popular bar in a prime waterfront position, it makes the most of its setting — combining a great drinks offering with lovely views over the river and the city, especially buzzing in the evenings and on warm nights.
The appeal is that combination of a relaxed, sociable bar atmosphere and an enviable riverside location, ideal for after-work drinks, a catch-up or a night out by the water in the heart of Melbourne's arts and dining precinct. With the river, the promenade and the city's attractions all around, it's a natural spot to settle in.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 3,400 reviews, it's clearly keeping its many visitors happy. Drinks lists, any food offering, opening hours and pricing change, and a popular riverside bar fills up over weekends, warm evenings and event nights, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a relaxed drink with a view, it's often just a matter of dropping in and soaking up the Southbank atmosphere.
