This mammoth seven-level pub has an outdoor terrace, three private event spaces, a ground-floor beer garden and public bar with a classic pub menu. There’s also a three-level Southeast Asian restaurant called Past Port. All of this is the result of a major renovation from Sand Hill Road.

The Waterside’s cream-painted brick exterior, dome-shaped turret and French decorative glass have remained untouched for 99 years – but everything else is completely new. Inside, you’ll find local beer on tap and all the usual pub classics, including a sizeable parma and excellent Sunday roast.

Sitting in a prime location on the corner of Flinders and King Streets, The Waterside is here for a good time and a long time, pouring pints for punters from all walks of life.
