Pony Sunday

Pony Fish Island! Thank you!

Thank you for being cool! And thank you for being the only bar in Melbourne that sits right on the Yarra!

Honestly, with so much river skirting the CBD, how is it possible that we have only one bar on the river?

And of the thousands of bars in the CBD, why aren't riverside bars as much of an option as the now-passe proliferation of rooftop bars?

Yes I know the Riverside Bar, tucked behind Federation Square sits very close to the river. But lets face it, with that bit of access road between it and the river, for all it's proximity, it might as well be atop Ayers Rock.

Our Grand Ol' Mayor Bobby Doyle gave us the Swanston St redevelopment of 2012 (we love it, thank you!). May we now please have a Yarra River boardwalk? Complete with coffee stands, mobile creperies and pop up bars? Pretty pleeeease with sugar and a cherry on top!

Until then, Pony Fish will continue to reap the reward of being the only bar on the Yarra. It is divine to sit beneath the bridge or in the sun! The food is suprisingly good (you have to try their hefty beef burger! you'll never want to touch another Grill'd burger once you do!!). And pumping, always pumping with groovy tunes from the DJ and happy customers, chatting and drinking and looking out of the serene Yarra water!

Thank you Pony Fish for being there.
