The Boatbuilders Yard, South Wharf

Mamma loves all things city life. The laneways, the coffee, the hustle and bustle. Yet when you have a pram and a restless AND hungry toddler in tow, you need something kid friendly and close to the CBD. Welcome to The Boatbuilders Yard. A warm and welcoming modern Aussie Pub with a scrumptious menu plus half a dozen kids’ options.

The menu includes some classics but Mamma opted to try some new flavours. The adobo corn ribs were delicious and the summer bean salad oozed freshness. Little Miss 8 gave the burger two thumbs up!

There is a stack of room in the outdoor space but Mamma's favourite HAS to be right beside the Polly Woodside! The stage and a sandpit! It might - technically - be a beach for sitting and sipping a cocktail, however, you will find all the kids playing and digging for buried treasure in between bites of pizza. You do need to keep your eyes on the little ones as you sip the house-made lemonade, as we are still on a wharf and there is plenty of water around.
