New temporary summer bar
You’ve navigated laneways, used Stairmaster fitness to climb to rooftop summits and made your way underground, all in search of experiencing Melbourne’s hidden treasures. Ponyfish Island is your latest bar to be found, tucked away underneath the Elizabeth Street footbridge between Flinders Street and Southgate.

Here for a good time and not a long time, Ponyfish Island is a pop-up bar. Jerome Borazio of Saint Jerome fame, DJ, Grant Smillie and Andrew Mackinnon are the pioneers behind this unique inner city concept. Working with Moth Design, the dynamic trio has created a chilled-out, boat shaped island retreat.

With bar stools cleverly crafted out of hessian covered wooden shipping crates, succulents scattered about adding a touch of freshness and decorative chalk drawn pictures and signage, Ponyfish Island‘s style is relaxed and unassuming.

Step aboard Ponyfish Island for after work drinks, a Sunday afternoon session or simply pop in for a morning coffee. Float on the Yarra as you watch the world row merrily down the stream.
