About Riverland Bar

Perched along Federation Wharf beneath Fed Square, Riverland Bar pairs open-air Yarra River frontage with easy, unpretentious pub fare. Regulars gravitate toward the river edge for an afternoon session over cold pints and crisp chips. Expect classic chicken parmas, charred chicken supreme, and pizzas pulled warm from the kitchen while carafes of sangria hit communal tables. Steps from Flinders Street Station, it handles pre-footy regrouping, lazy weekday happy hours, and walk-in waterfront drinks with straightforward ease. Ordering is fluid—tap a QR code from your outdoor bench or step straight to the historic vault bar for a sunset fizz.

  • Waterfront Vault Setting: Direct open-air bankside seats set right beneath Federation Square along the Yarra River.
  • Value Hours & Spritzes: Weekdays feature $10 pints alongside shared sangria carafes and bottomless pizza packages.
  • Flexible Ordering: Order right from the table via mobile QR codes or grab rounds inside at the bar counter.

    We also had the Charred Chicken Supreme, which was delicious—crispy skin, tender meat, and served with tasty potatoes and greens.
