Pink Lemonade Richmond - Beer Garden - American BBQ

Pink Lemonade is an all-weather beer garden, bar and BBQ venue at 23 Swan Street in Richmond, next to Richmond Train Station and around a five-minute walk from Melbourne’s sporting precinct. It is positioned as a practical stop before events at the MCG or Rod Laver Arena, as well as a place for after-work drinks or a night out close to the city centre.

The food offering centres on Hells Bellz Smokehouse, with slow-cooked American-style BBQ including ribs, brisket and pulled pork. The website also references loaded bao buns, while guest reviews mention brisket and pulled pork burgers, fries and salad. Drinks include cocktails, spirits, wine and beer on tap, giving the venue a broad bar selection alongside its smokehouse menu.

The atmosphere is built around entertainment rather than a quiet dining room. Pink Lemonade promotes live music, DJ sets, local bands and themed parties, with a 3D LED dance floor for nights that continue beyond the bar. Its outdoor seating is undercover and fitted with heating and fans, so groups can use the beer garden in different weather. The space is presented as suitable for casual catch-ups, pre-event meet-ups and celebrations.

There are several areas designed for bookings and functions. Heated booths in the main deck and loft can seat eight to 12 people, with the loft overlooking the venue and offering rooftop views. The marquee provides covered outdoor tables, while the VIP Room seats up to 20 and includes a private bar and dedicated service. For larger occasions, the venue says it can accommodate up to 400 guests across the available spaces. That makes Pink Lemonade a useful option for birthday gatherings, corporate functions, group dinners and pre-game drinks, particularly for visitors wanting food, drinks and live entertainment in one Richmond venue.
