Went to Dock 18 for their Smoke, Beer and Whisky menu with Starward Whisky and Temple Brewery - absolutely loved the experience. My stand outs have to be the heirloom carrots, carbonara, beef ribs and for dessert, the must have is the smoked brownie. The cocktails and smoked beer paired with each dish were also amazing!
From the months of October through to the end of January, Dock 18 are celebrating the flavours of local brewery Temple Brewing and whisky distillery Starward Whisky with their Smoke, Beer and Whisky menu. The menu features several drinks and dishes that hero products from Temple Brewing and Starward Whisky among other favourites. Created fittingly just for the occasion is Temple Brewing’s limited edition smoked beer which can be ordered as a taster. There’s something about being served in an adorable-sized pint that makes the beer more palatable (can you tell I’m not the biggest beer fan?) not to mention the unique smoky characteristic. Menu items can be ordered a la carte style or as part of the full SBW package ($85pp for a small plate with smoked beer, large plate with an additional side, dessert and two SBW cocktails). As an added bonus, visitors who share their #SBWJourney have a chance of winning the ultimate weekend for two - visit the Dock 18 website for more details.
Visited Dock 18 who are hosted by Four Points Melbourne to try out their Smoke, Beer and Whiskey Journey and was pleasantly surprised especially because I’m not a huge beer or whiskey fan.
All the flavours were brilliantly infused into the food, so compliments to the chef.
The menu showcased Victoria's best local produce and perfectly paired them with Temple Brewery Smoked Beer and exclusively crafted cocktails by Sacha the Global Brand Educator from Statward Whiskey.
My highlights included the Reverse seared 72-hour sous vide Gippsland Valley beef rib, the Smoked brownie and drink: Red grape, riberry, and citrus soda with Two-Fold whisky
Would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone even if you aren’t a beer or whiskey fan!
I recently visited Dock 18 Resteraunt to try their Smoked Beer and whiskey menu. All dishes tasted at this event incorporated smoking techniques from Starward Whisky and Temple Brewing.
Top 4 dishes:
1) Sumac & smoked kohlrabi fritters, vegan mayo, house pickles
2) Reverse seared 72 hour sous vide Gippsland Valley beef rib, Starward whiskey BBQ sauce
3)Smoked whole fried baby barramundi, Okinawa Sour XO sauce
4) Smoked brownie, salted caramel, whisky ice cream
All food was immaculate in terms of presentation and tasted delicious.
Service was highly efficient and the cockails were very refreashing.
Dock 18 would be the perfect place for a light lunch or decadent dinning experience.
I wouldn't normally eat at a hotel of a restaurant because I like to explore the city that I'm in however I may make an exception for this one.
I was invited to a Smoked Beer & whiskey event where we tried dishes that Incorporated smoking techniques, Starward Whisky and Temple Brewing beer.
As far as the quality of the food it was top-notch and he puts his creative and technical skills to the max.
Service was really good but I expect that from a hotel which tram makes me think that hotel staff should train all restaurant staff in the future.
Dock 18 restaurant definitely open my mind to what hotel restaurants can do. Definitely worth the visit if you're staying in Melbourne or if you happen to be in Docklands.
I attended the smoke, beer and whiskey event and was so great to hear from the team that put the menu together. The drinks pairs so well with the food and I couldn’t fault anything.
I’d love to take friends back as it is a great overall experience. I especially loved the smoked beer that you can only get at Dock 18!!
After reading the positive reviews we thought we would see what this place was like. We experienced amazing service and food!!
Our meals consisted of oysters as an entree with the kombu consume jelly (they were nice and fresh). Mains were the rockling and eye fillet with a side of Asian slaw. All up the meals were a 9/10.
The service was friendly and prompt which added to an enjoyable night! (10/10). Overall definitely a place to check out.
Indulge in an amazing night of smoke, beer & whiskey at the @dock18restaurant and be blown away by this amazing journey. We got to attend the launch night in collaboration with was really impressed with the menu. The dishes were nicely articulated and presented
The full SBW experience includes entree,main and dessert and you get to indulge into a food and beverage experience with a collaboration of @starwardwhisky and @templebrewing creations for just $85pp
Do not miss out on the limited edition smoked beer by @templebrewing as it had a nice distinctive smoked flavour.
I recently visited Dock 18 for the first time to try their Smoke, Beer and Whiskey special menu. I started with an absolutely delicious, smoked collaboration beer with Temple Brewing. It paired so well with my first dish, smoked kohlrabi fritters, which are one of the various vegan options that are included in this offer. For a main dish, I sampled the kumara with a really nice pumpkin seed chimichurri and rainbow carrots. The side of turmeric cauliflower is also highly recommend. A selection of thoughtfully curated Starward Whiskey cocktails accompanied my meal. For dessert, I ate the best brownie I've ever had, infused with smoke and served with whiskey ice cream. The polenta cake with apricot was also super tasty. It's especially nice to dine at Dock 18 because it's evident the staff are knowledgeable and passionate about the food and drinks they serve.

Smoke, beer and whisky. Three simple words but when combined together, you're in for a gastronomic journey. Dock 18 is currently partnering with Temple Brewing and Starward Whisky for a SBW journey, where the aforementioned three elements are incorporated into both the food and drinks.
I got to experience this for myself and what an amazing meal it was. Smoked beer with hints of smokiness and a touch of bacon-ish flavour, whisky cocktails that have been crafted to complement the food, and lastly, dishes that have shone with elements of smoke, beer and whisky.
A few highlights, because there's really too many to mention, were the Reverse Seared 72 hours sous vide Gippsland Valley Beef Rib and the Smoked Whole Fried Baby Barramundi. The beef rib was the epitome of fell of the bone tender, and the bold and rich smoky flavours were simply drool-worthy. The Barramundi impressed with its mix of sweet, sour and zesty flavours, and the fish was cooked to perfection.
Vegetarians do not despair. The BBQ Kumara Steak and Turmeric Roasted Cauliflower, were just as delicious as the meats. Incredible layers of flavours and faultless execution made these humble veggies a star in their own right.
Desserts rounded up this wonderful experience, and it was hard to choose a favourite between the smoked brownie and the citrus polenta cake. As different as night and day, the brownie was lusciously rich while the cake was delicate and moist, but both just as delicious as one another.
The SBW Journey is an experience of a lifetime, one that beautifully brings together three wonderful elements to create a masterpiece. Thank you for the amazing meal.

Great service and a perfect portion! I got the eye fillet and it was delicious
The pork ribs had a tasty marinade and was served with roast potatoes and salad. The portions were good and reasonably priced at $32. The seafood pasta was $24 and had a decent amount of prawns and scallops. Both dishes I would recommend. The cheese platter was large enough to serve 2-3 people and came with 3 cheese types.
Fresh, colourful and delicious dinner enjoyed with mellow wine and completed with a delicious platter of cheese (3 types), quince paste and warm gluten free toast triangles. Perfect! Casual, modern vibe and excellent service from our lovely waitresses.
