We went to The General Assembly from Mildura for NYE on a whim. We had the best time! Being vegetarians we didn’t expect much of a food option but the young lady serving food realised we were vegetarian and specially brought us the plates that were vegetarian first. A fantastic night! Great service. Thank you!
A great place for a couple of drinks and a relaxing afternoon/evening with live acoustic music - cold beer, great wine & fun staff - we had a great time and will definitely be back with friends!
Good food, great venue, loved the live music

There are quite a few places to choose from around the General Assembly and we chose this place because there was some industrial works across the water that was way too noisy to sit outside.
We chose as assembly platter which was a great filling snack for two. Cauliflower, cured meats, cheese, hummus, bread and more. Delicious. All washed down with a glass of wine. Nice way to have a business meeting.
Staff were great and offered food service.
Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Dietaries catered for.

Only came here for drinks after a days shopping at the DFO south wharf. Ordered the lemon lime bitters and a friend ordered a beer. Atmosphere was great and enjoyable.
The place looked like a shed outside but the interior is very nicely decorated and looked really nice. There's a bar area and also tables for food .

Met a friend for dinner here, and found it to be the perfect place for a catch up. Being a lovely day we opted to sit outside and enjoy watching the sunset and feeling the breeze, and found it to be a nice atmosphere.
We started off with a plate of the eggplant chips, which were seasoned well and a great appetiser. For mains I ordered the mushroom burger with crispy bacon, while my friend had their porterhouse steak. The food was great, and made with delectable fresh ingredients. The steak was cooked well and the accompaniment of sides complemented it perfectly. The burger was brimming with flavour and so packed with ingredients I initially had a hard time biting into it (even after squishing it down). The fries were crunchy and well seasoned.
We also ordered the croquettes as a side and they were delicious; oh-so crunchy on the outside and oh-so soft on the inside.
For dessert we decided on the 3-way cooked mango, which turned out to be a great refreshing way to finish off the meal. The 3 different textures and flavours of mango were fun to experience.
Staff were relatively attentive throughout the night, though we found our dessert took an extremely long time to come out (pretty sure it had been forgotten). For drinks my friend made her way through a couple of different wines, which she said were surprisingly good. I stuck to mocktails on the other hand due to an early start the next day, and found them refreshing, fruity and a great accompaniment to all the food we had.
The GA was an awesome place to hang out on a Sunday arvo.. they had a live band going and with the great sunny weather outside a couple of beers kept us happy..
This place had a good selection of drinks and the venue was huge.. A good place to visit for a quick beve..
Good vibes, live music. A chilled placed to enjoy good food and drinks. The lamb racks and twiced cooked pork belly had some great flavours. Though portions are small, definitely recommend for the quality.
The great thing about TGA is, they are that big that have tables all the time available. Great selection of small dishes and bears. My favourite is charred greens and pork belly.
Stopped by last weekend for an early drink and a bit to eat and was very impressed! Service was friendly and efficient and the food was great too. We shared the Croquettes and the steak sandwich which were both excellent.
There was an acoustic band playing that was very good and not too loud. It was a lovely evening!
A lovely place with a view of the Yarra River, just at the doorstep of the Melbourne Convention Center and the South Wharf DFO. We had the Seafood Platter (For sharing) and Hummus Dip with crisp bread. The platter was excellent. Could taste the freshness of the huge prawns. Oysters were fresh though a bit on the small side. Hummus dip was also delicious. When we were there, it was a bit busy and the wait staff was a bit hassled so don’t expect too much on service. There was an extremely long wait for the food - it was a weekend, so though food is good...do not go there hungry especially if it’s a busy weekend with lovely weather as a lot of diners are enjoying the view. Price wise...for portions served, I do find it a bit on the expensive side but good thing, food was good!
We were lucky enough to attend the house warming of the general assembly and what a fabulous night it was. The venue itself is right by the riverside which offers the most spectacular view if your sitting outside, inside it is very spacious with a bar right in the middle. Throughout the night there was a delicious antipasto spread and mouth watering canapes. We really enjoyed the sausage rolls ( vegetarian and chicken) as well as the popcorn chicken . Although it was a busy night, staff were professional and friendly, the vibes were great especially during the later part of the night when most of us has had a few
Thanks so much for having us
Food is okay. Not bad but nothing special. Quite typical for a western food restaurant. Ordered the medium rare steak but it came out well done. The salmon dish, the burger dish, and the pork skewer were good and I quite enjoyed it.
I’ve been to this bar/pub few times and each time I enjoyed the time. Amazing service make you go there as a regular customer. Also, beautiful and tasty dishes are fabulous. You could have a beautiful sun set view at outdoor as well. Only negative point was service charge on Saturday, Sunday which I haven’t expected it.
Thanks 😊
Really nice place to dine for dinner! Friendly staff, live music and delicious food. Would recommend the Mac and Cheese Croquettes and, the sour watermelon cocktail for those with a sweet tooth.
Very nice location on the riverside, spacious inside. Young staff offered friendly helpful service for a lunchtime trio. Enjoyable fish and chips, and pannacotta was delicious. S we were driving we didn't try the extensive drinks choice.
Awesome food. If you are in the area please try GA out. 👍👍
(We just waited for over 30mins for our food to be served, perhaps because we didn't tip?? 🤣🤣)
Chill breeze, perfectly seasoned chips and of course, mean cocktails. That's how I would summarise my many experiences at The General Assembly. This place has exceptional selections of beverages and nibbles, stunning venues and hospitable staffs. It is the perfect destination for friends and family gatherings or even simply a repose after a shopping mission around Melbourne CBD and DFO.
Really appreciated the meal, lots of tasting plates for our family of 5. The chicken wings, loaded fries & croquettes were the most popular with the fam. Relaxing vibe, good service & well priced. Spot on for a Monday lunch with so many other places closed in the area.
