The Waterside Hotel

The Waterside Hotel brings together several ways to eat and drink in Docklands, Melbourne, with a Public Bar, Beer Garden and rooftop space. Its public bar menu focuses on familiar pub-style food, including snacks, pizzas and shareable plates, making it a practical choice for relaxed meals and groups who want to order across the table. A dedicated kids menu also makes the offering suitable for families.

For something more distinctive, Past/Port takes a different direction. Led by Executive Chef Sarah Chan, its menu draws on Australian produce while exploring the flavours and traditions of Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. The restaurant’s approach is centred on memory, heat and tradition, giving it a clear culinary identity within the broader hotel.

With casual pub dining at the Waterside Public Bar and Beer Garden, alongside Past/Port’s dining and rooftop menus, the venue offers a choice of settings rather than a single style of meal. It can suit a casual catch-up, a family visit or a group sharing food, while diners looking for a more considered menu can explore Past/Port. The supplied venue information does not provide individual dish names, trading hours or pricing, so checking the current menus and reservation details before visiting is sensible.
