A Delicious Detour Through Southbank
your Midweek Reimagined
Let’s be real, midweek in Melbourne can feel like a bit of a grind…
But if you’re anywhere near Southbank, there’s absolutely no excuse to be bored or burnt out. With the Yarra glistening, the skyline glowing, endless local entertainment opportunities and Left Bank Melbourne throwing out midweek, there’s a full-blown lifestyle lineup just waiting for you.
Here’s your day-by-day midweek game plan, complete with where to eat, sip, stroll and reset, so you can actually enjoy the in-between days.
MONDAY
Happy Hour With a Side of Southbank
Any weekday, from 3–6pm, Left Bank’s Happy Hour is your launchpad:
enjoy 2 for 1 cocktails, wine, sparking and beer from a selected menu.
What to do after your third Espresso Martini?
Catch the Southbank Promenade performers as the sun sets.
Hit Crown’s Village Cinemas for a cheeky Gold Class movie.
TUESDAY
Wine Me, Dine Me… Then Wander
Start your Tuesday with Left Bank Melbourne’s Wine Me & Dine Me:
Enjoy 3 shared courses + bottomless wine for $59PP
Available Sunday – Thursday from 5PM
Before dinner: Take a slow walk through the Botanic Gardens or hit the Shrine of
Remembrance lookout for golden hour views.
WEDNESDAY
Boss Lunch, Boujee Break
Escape the desk for Left Bank Melbourne Does Lunch, just $32 for a gourmet meal and a glass of wine or beer that fits neatly between meetings
Got a bit more time? After lunch, grab a takeaway espresso from Code Black Coffee at Southbank and take a riverside stroll. Duck into Hamer Hall’s pop-up exhibits or explore Flinders Lane galleries for a spontaneous hit of inspo.
THURSDAY
Sip, Shuck & Catch a Show
Oysters at $2 a pop + cocktail in hand = the only way to kick off your Thursday evening.
Sip & Shuck Thursdays at Left Bank (3-6pm) feel luxe without the price tag. But don’t stop there.
Keep the night rolling:
Head across the river to Arts Centre Melbourne for a show.
Or lean into the chaos and test your luck at Crown Casino just steps away.
You’ll feel like it’s Friday. You might even forget you have work tomorrow…
