About Yarra Falls

Pull up a stool along Flinders Lane for native botanical cocktails, warm potato bread, and vinyl spinning in the background. Settle in by the bar's waterfall feature while bartenders pour house spirits and tell the river's storied history. Regulars come through before dinner for a quiet glass of wine, then linger over warm butter and house-smoked Irish whiskey.

  • Botanical Cocktails & Local Storytelling: Drinks showcase native botanicals and river-sourced producers beside an in-venue waterfall feature.
  • All-Vinyl Soundtrack: Needle drops and vintage vinyl spin throughout the night, setting an easy, unhurried pace.
  • Bar-Centric Counter Seating: A long row of stools puts guests right in front of the hosts for spirited conversation.

  • Homage to local landscape and First Nations history

    The bar pays tribute to the original natural falls and First Nations history, integrated into the intimate design and background waterfall feature.

    The waterfall behind the bar and the artwork are beautiful and speak to the history of the lands that the bar borrows its name from.

  • Welcoming sanctuary for solo unwinding

    Solo visitors and newcomers are welcomed with genuine hospitality, fostering an immediate sense of belonging and ease.

    I went here on a very wet Thursday last week and was welcomed like I was a regular. This is the sort of place you could happily lose a few hours
