About Precinct Bar & Restaurant

Precinct Bar & Restaurant pairs relaxed riverbank dining with honest regional hospitality right along Wangaratta’s waterways. A smart partition separates the lively bar from the dining room, while the sunny outdoor deck welcomes dogs and looks straight out onto gumtrees strung with fairy lights. Highway travellers and family groups gather over rosemary garlic pizzetta, tender pressed lamb shoulder, and crispy-skinned barramundi beside whipped mash. Pours focus on cold local taps alongside shaken espresso martinis, finishing sweet with crisp churros and warm fried ice cream.

  • Riverside Alfresco Deck: Back deck tables look out over the river and gumtrees illuminated by evening fairy lights, with space for dogs to join outside in the sun.
  • Considered Floorplan: The bar and dining room sit divided by a partition wall, providing dedicated spaces with full step-free wheelchair accessibility.
  • Dietary Peace of Mind: Kitchen staff take strict care with coeliac and cross-contamination requirements across a menu spanning gluten-free and vegan options.

  • Accommodating Multi-Generational Layout

    A thoughtfully designed layout separates the bar and dining areas with a wall partition, maintaining smooth accessibility and wheelchair accommodation across both spaces.

    The bar and dining areas are separated by a wall but easily accessible to each other and it's also wheelchair accessible which is a big tick for us.

    Salt and pepper calamari was really nice, cut length ways rather the rings making long triangle was a good change and was tender.
