The Waterslide Bar is a fusion of old and modern, creating the pleasant impression of being somewhere familiar, yet new. It’s another of Melbourne’s typical best secret-bars; rather, it’s out there for everyone to enjoy and wanting to be enjoyed; bringing some sophisticated and delicious fun to the south side of the river. The Waterslide team, with its many years of experience has compiled unique beverage lists of the finest Whiskeys, Gins, Vodkas, Rums, Ciders, Cocktails and Craft beers.

With the stunning million-dollar views of the Yarra River and of the city skyline, Waterslide is the ideal venue for corporate functions, product launches, birthday parties, anniversaries, EOFY functions and of course Christmas parties. Our spaces offer great flexibility with spaces ideal for groups between 10 and 20. Contact us if you have 10 or more guests.

The Waterslide Bar is amazing - gorgeous interior and great views on to the Yarra, and the food and cocktails are incredible. My friend and I shared plates of food that were so delicious I wanted them all for myself! And the cocktails were so wonderfully made - they were so special. Thank you!!!

Excellent bar, not overly business on a Wednesday night, but service, ambience very good, it would be rocking on a Fri/Sat night. If you are a whisky drinking, great selection and the guys know their stuff. Service was great, quick, helpful and friendly. We wanted o come back on Monday night, but unfortunately closed. Great place, our group really enjoyed it.

Booking on Opentable the day before, we secured our 5pm table. We had the outer tables that are undercover; the rain and wind howling outside, the amaretto sours; finger food; great atmosphere and views over The Yarra made our pre-show drinks perfect. The staff are very attentive but unobtrusive and very helpful if you are having trouble choosing a cocktail or mocktail or from their impressive whiskey range.

Been here many times as well as New Years Eve. Great place and recommend it to friends all the time. Made a simple request for heater in front if me to be turned off for short period as I arrived. An hour later I had someone walk past me in a rush, rudely questioning why I had asked for "all heaters to be turned off, it's Freezing!!!" Didn't ask for them all to be turned off, just mine as we were sitting in the corner and also more than happy for them to be turned back on. I was bit shocked and disappointed to be spoken/yelled at like that, I complained and a staff member apologised on the persons behalf, who turned out to be the boss. Love the place, service always impeccable so sad and dissapointed, and upset this happened. Unlikely to return as a result.
