Melbourne’s Event Experts
South Wharf Restaurants are a collective of Melbourne’s most versatile event venues — where great food, awesome drinks and passionate people come together to make your next function or event something special.
From versatile CBD spaces like Henry and the Fox to riverside favourites like Plus 5, BangPop and Billie’s Bites & Bar, our venues bring unique style and energy to everything from private celebrations to corporate functions.
More than just a location — it’s a collaboration.
What began as a collective of South Wharf venues has evolved into a broader team of event-focused spaces across Melbourne.
While each venue has its own style, we’re united by a shared passion for hospitality and a commitment to delivering seamless, memorable experiences. Whether you’re riverside or in the heart of the city, you’ll be looked after by a team that works together to bring your event to life.
