A huge venue with fabulous views across the pier at Docklands, Woolshed is a great place to stop for a drink with friends. With a fabulous ambience and pleasant, modern decor; it's a relaxing place.
The bar is well stocked with a lovely wine selection, and the casual bar area is a nice spot to chill and watch sport on tv, or chat over some nibbles. There is also a more formal dining area, but I've only been here for drinks. It's a great place to stop by on a gorgeous, sunny day as the views are lovely.
The Woolshed has come a long way in The Dear Luncher’s opinion. It would probably have to be the premier pub in the Docklands area. The ideal venue for pre-game festivities and stomach-lining. A cozy, warm escape from the blustering mess that Docklands can be. The Woolshed dining area offers up decent views of Docklands Stadium. Expansive food and drink menus on offer. The steaks here are superb. The Dear Luncher could not fault the scotch fillet that was consumed. Prime cut. Service within catered to every need, promptly serving up drinks, which is important because The Dear Luncher goes through a lot of drinks.
4.5/5.

We were having a double date night recently and looked to the old entertainment book to suggest a venue. We definitely found the value at Woolshed and I finally satisfied the steak sandwich craving that has been plaguing me for weeks.
They also do delicious cocktail jugs the Pimms being a classic but I'd also recommend the Strawberry one. They used to have an amazing shredded beef BBQ brisket but sadly that seems to have gotten the chop from the revamped menu. Also worth noting at this point they haven't updated their online menu so don't get your heart set on something that's no longer available #bringbackthebrisket.
Update
I'm so glad the Woolshed rose from the ashes and rebuilt themselves better than ever. I've devoured the steak sandwich on more than one occasion and they do this sort of traditional pub food extremely well.
Lovely ambiance overlooking the water in the daytime and equally atmospheric at night with live music playing. It appears as though they have taking this opportunity to relaunch with some more premium dining options while still catering for more casual patrons so there's something to please everyone. One of the better spots in Docklands
Original review
This is a great space to watch the footy and has plenty of atmosphere on grand final day. We were only able to order from a somewhat limited menu given the masses and no table service which was reasonable I suppose. We had calamari, bread with three drips and some sweet potato fries. All yummy sharing style dishes.

The only time I visit the Woolshed seems to be for farewell drinks and meals. Today was no different as I was invited along by my old workplace to farewell a mate I had worked with for over 17 years.
We sat in the covered over deck area with wonderful views over the Docklands waterfront and started with drinks. They had a good range of beers on tap and I chose Little Creatures.
For mains it seems more than half the table chose the most expensive steak ... typical when work is covering the cost. I went for the slow cooked beef cheeks which I highly rated except for the pesto on top which was too much and I ended scraping to the side. The more health conscious seemed to like the chicken salad with a 65 degree egg centre on the plate and a few had the fresh pasta dish cooked quite al dente (too much so for some).
For dessert many like me went for chocolate brownie with meringue and ice cream while a few tried the seasonal mini Christmas pudding which was exceptionally rich so needed to be shared.
Despite being tucked away in the far corner service was very good and the waiting staff member did a great job keeping everyone happy.
The food is delicoius and mouth watering, and the service is charming and attentive. Our waitress Jade was very cheerful, and attentive on a friday night and we overall thoroughly enjoyed our time and had a wonderful dining expierence we will be back!.
Came in a Sunday evening and we were greeted with warm smiles. Loved the ambience of this restaurant.
All the menu items were very interesting. We ordered the pate and pork belly as entrees and steak to share.
We loved everything. The pork belly and the steak were equally our favourite. Will come back soon to try the other dishes !
Nice waiters. Beautiful water views. Very relax place for weekend catch up.nice food and desserts. I will come back another time with friends.
The service was good, the cocktail list was fun and the food was delicious. By recommendation from the waiter, I ordered the duck for my main and I was not left disappointed! I really loved the funky spin on pub food here. They provide the pub food classics but they also offer a delicious array of dishes including the duck dish. I’ll be back.
Every last Sunday of the month can now be spent enjoying French champagne, tiers of delicate savoury and sweet canapes, freshly baked scones and pots of tea at the Woolshed, Docklands. It’s a beautiful location for high tea housed upstairs with top to bottom glass windows which allow the sunshine to stream through and a gorgeous view overlooking the harbour.
Great place for a few drinks...but pretty disappointed they are serving all beers in disposable plastic cups. Not because I'm a beer wanker, but because it's a environmental discgrace.
Very glad that we ended up having lunch in here. Contemporary type looking bar with a quite good restaurant. Staff very attentive and friendly from start to finish. I liked that they give little bags to toddlers with all to be entertained while having us our meal. We got the baby octopus, good flavour and right texture. Then we got the salmon, crispy skin fantastic; got medium rare scotch fillet, good. A few drinks. And finally some mulled wine. All good. And nice view to Docklands. Really pleasent atmosphere.

GOOD CHOICE FOR A CASUAL DINNER ON THE WATERFRONT
The Woolshed is a large modern building on Harbour Esplanade just across from Marvel Stadium.
Easy walking distance from the CBD and there are several tram routes that pass by (including the number 35 City Circle).
There is a bar and casual eating area as well as a more formal dining area and an upstairs area that has amazing views across the city skyline.
We (two of us) arrived without a booking at about 6:30 pm and had no trouble getting a table in the more formal dining area on the ground floor. Service was very efficient and friendly. The tables are relatively well spaced and there is a variety of table sizes for different groups. In warmer weather the front windows of the restaurant fold away to create an al fresco section.
We decided to eat vegetarian this night and it was quite easy to select a range of dishes from the menu. They also offer gluten free options for some dishes.
We started with sparkling water and a glass of wine each. Entree was a delicious vegetable salad and chargrilled bread with dips.
For mains we shared a vegetable pasta and a zucchini and pea salad. Both were quite good.
We were too full to try the dessert menu :)
The restaurant filled quite quickly and when we left at about 8 pm it was buzzing with people.
People with mobility issues will be fine here as it is a very modern complex with level floors and easy access.
Nice place for evening drinks. Big and modern. Bar staff were friendly and knowledgeable.
Outside areas were good.
Great views of the docks.
Good for early evening and prep dinner drinks before a night out in the Docklands.
Very close to southern Cross and trams.
When we walked in the door greeter couldnt find our booking. It took one of our team members to help her find it to get a seat.
Views and the atmosphere was great it took a while for the food to come out and the waitress struggled to smile.
We had a set menu and everyone seemed to be happy with there options. I had the lamb cigars or spring rolls and they were quite tasty. Steak for main was cooked perfectly with a nice sauce and mushroom with a side of roasted gsrlic and chive potatos. Dessert options i def wouldnt go past the pav.
Awesome venue! After their relaunch the venue is bigger and even more stunning!
Amazing food, drinks and service !
Perfect for functions, casual drinks , dinner ....... suits every occasion 👌 Highly recommended!
Good fun pub.
Live music, friendly welcoming staff, great location for a sunday session / after game pint. Yep they have guiness :)
Probs visit again when next in Melbourne and reccomend to others.

Great place for a drink with friends in the afternoon. The service is a touch slow but acceptable. Big screens great for watching the tennis. Easily accessible via the 70 tram.
