This is a great after work place for a few drinks. Great beer selection. This bar also serves as a tasty and quick place to eat lunch. Fancy enough to cover any of the work special occasions that may arise.

Good vibe, clean facilities, friendly staff.
Outside was quite dark after the sun went down, as the sun was going down was in our eyes, maybe a shade cloth could help?
On a table of 12, everyone enjoyed their meals and the good variety of drinks.

Booked table for 8 person on 20Nov.After arrival order food nd drinks but drinks was not arrived after after 40 min.When I checked they told me that waiter already left who took our order.Then the most arrogant GM Mr David shows up and not even appology for the mistakes rather he was ordering me to come out outside to talk.
We ordered 8 main meal all together but only 3 meals comes after 25 min but rest meal comes after 40 minutes. They shud know that we r all together and food shud comes all together. This is a common sense which they don't even.
All the team members shud know abt solf skills

5/11/21 - had a beautiful dinner and lovely time at the Platform 28 restaurant. From the get-go, Brie our Waitress was absolutely wonderful, she had a good knowledge of the menu. The food and wine selection were great. Particularly liked that the restaurant spaced the tables so well that it wasn't noisy in the slightest. Thanks Platform 28!

Quite a nice pub meal. We ordered the Black Angus burger, the steak sandwich and the fried Squid. All the food was awesome and fresh for what it was. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a nice pub meal.

Great atmosphere, Great service, food bought out in a very timely fashion even though it's was so busy you could hardly move. Food was excellent and steak was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend this place, it was kid friendly and had a loud but very relaxed atmosphere. Bar drinks at great prices and a few good specials with plenty of great tasting beer on tap

I have only had good experiences at Platform28. Good drinks and food menu. Great atmosphere, attentive staff, sportsTV for those into sportsing. Cosy in winter with fireplace and outdoor heated areas. It can get quite loud when busy.

Had a work lunch and the sirloin steak was cooked perfectly. The onion rings and thick cut chips were delicious and whole grilled tomato was a great accompliment.
Everyone else thoroughly enjoyed their meal and service was prompt and friendly.

Good pub for a brew and some grub! Close to Etihad stadium so a great apot before the footy. . Staff are great considering the number of people they get coming through; with only one or two of being grumpy guss's.

Food is typical pub food but with some specialty dishes too. Give it a whirl if your down that end of town for a pleasant meal in a warm and low-lit pub.

What a lovely venue.
We had a work function here and it went really well. Room to mingle, room to dance, a deck for some fresh air.

Staff were friendly and the food was lovely with plenty of vegetarian options which was important for our group.

The venue is easily separated into 'rooms' with upstairs and downstairs areas that can be sectioned off if your having a private function.

Security were visable but not in the way or in your face which was comforting being a new person to the area.

Plus for me personally was that it was across the road from my accommodation so once my

Used to be a go-to for both pre-footy drinks and work lunches over the past few years, it's still nice to visit Platform 28 every now and again.

You'll rarely find it quiet (make sure you book for Thurs/Fri lunches) and the food and beer is on the pricey side for pub fare - although there are cheap food options like the wraps for those watching their coin.

Never plan on going here, as honestly there is nothing too majorly exciting here, but always enjoy myself when here with a group.

Had dinner here last night, I'm not a local the place was suggested by a few work peers. Great pub food and nice vibe. Wine list by the glass needs improving. Would be happy to go back for drinks &/or dinner when visiting Docklands.

Good spot for a beer if you happen to be in Docklands for other reasons. But very mundane for Melbourne. Good beer selection and food looks pretty good.

Popular but unexciting docklands bar. Food is okay. Drink selection is okay, but it's all a bit generic and lacks soul. A suitable place for after work drinks, but not somewhere you want to hang with your mates.

This venue is one of the newer additions to the Dockland precinct and I am glad its here to stay.The bar food is very generous in portions and is great for large groups. During the day the lunch menu offers fresh modern Australian selections which are reasonably priced and great value for money.

This venue stays true to the history of the site and brings a rustic historical charm that's bound to win you over. On a Friday & Saturday nights this venue collects many afterwork corporates and also doubles up as the perfect pre-drinks venue for anyone who is travelling to Etihad stadum to
