The whole harbour thing's starting to attract some real going-out opportunities, and Watermark Bar is one of the bigger ones in town. It's contemporary trendy, but still keeps that comfortingly familiar environment with couches and tellies scattered around. Let's get one thing down pat though, Watermark Bar's more than a weekday venue - the DJs turn the place upside down on the weekends dishing out R'n'B, House and Dance.
Outdoor Area / Beer Garden
Nothing pleases us more than to report Watermark has outdoor drinking covered.

Readers' Reviews
Watermark is a fantastic spot to grab a drink and suck in the spectacular Melbourne nightlife. The DJs really know how to make a crowd put their hands in the air. This place is really big because of the outdoor sections for the nights with good weather, can become a bit crowded towards 12ish, but if you don't like crowds, what are you doing at a Melbourne night club?
Overall a fun night out, and my mates and I were picking up without trying, some gorgeous girls, and everyone's friendly. Get down there on a Saturday, you will have a heap of fun.
