PonyFish_Down under








PonyFish is a truly unique bar which nestles under the Yarra Pedestrian Footbridge (connecting Southbank to Flinders Street station).  
A set of stairs, found at the road level, on the Southbank side, 
takes you down to this watery wonderland. As the City of Melbourne website descibes it “The vibe is eccentric, and the city perspective is very different”.

The tone of PonyFish’s character was completed by Moth Design, 
who converted the small and industrial space into an island of relaxation and fun, 
with the use of recycled timber, shipping palettes acting as seating, hessian sack covers and wooden planter boxes filled with hardy green plants.  
All of this sits overlooking, if not really, immersed in the Yarra River.

The tiny kitchen is open from early early to late into the night producing delicious food that hits the spot and suits the tastebuds, no matter the time of day or night.  
And the coffee, as with most places in Melbourne, is great.
