Visitors from Sydney might experience a dizzying sense of deja vu, as this Docklands bar and restaurant bears a striking resemblance to its sister venue at Sydney's King Street Wharf. It seems the combination of committed beer haven and water views was a formula worth repeating. Ale connoisseurs can sample the entire range of James Squire beers here, with the on-site microbrewery offering freshly brewed suds.

A thorough exploration of the beer menu needs the aid of some good, hearty food. The upstairs dining room offers a menu of pub favourites, from steaks and pork ribs to seafood salads and a classic ploughman's lunch. A pared-down and more casual version of the menu is available over the whole venue, so diners can tuck into fish and chips or a 'roo burger in the beer-garden-like space of the lower deck.
