Partystar Review

Views of Port Phillip Bay on one side and St Kilda Marina on the other will ensure that whatever you do in here will be pleasant. Drinking, dining, dancing or roasting chestnuts on the open fire - it's all here under one roof. Don't forget Sunday roast day (recommended for any chilly Sunday) and Friday's Riva Diva nights, which give female DJs a chance to mix their stuff. The crowd is a typical hip St Kilda mix, tending to be 25 and older.

Outdoor Area / Beer Garden

Watch the sunset with sweeping views from Portarlington right around the bay to the Melbourne city skyline.

Readers' Reviews

Situated on the lovely picturesque backdrop of the St Kilda marina is what could be your most enjoyable day/evening or night. The Riva bar is something you'd expect to see on a Spanish holiday show with its spacious lounge bar. You, and literally ALL of your friends will wine and dine to excellent live music

The place to be for summer is on the top level decks where the high class view will remind you of what a Sunday or any day should be about... relax and enjoy.

The crowd is and excellent mix with the same goal...to have fun. The women that frequent the Riva are gorgeous, dressing well and a care free attitude that can't help but be hi-fived. The men are clean, always smiling and employed... what more could the surroundings ask for.

Riva caters for all type to do all things, kick back and chat by the marina, dance away the sunset to some tunes or taste the seafood of the great location with mates after a hard week. The crowd is as friendly as you'll find... this can't be helped because of the delicious eye-candy surroundings. Friday or Saturday are great nights to go after work but the Sunday is a fav for all walks of life.

The indoor/outdoor environment with natural lighting creates a relaxing mood for people clientele to forget about their weekday gripes, catch up for some prawns with old friends or enjoy a cocktail with a new friend. Youll find no place better than this metaphorical therapuetic massage where the smiles are free and a'plenty.
