The younger and funkier sister to the enduring inner city favourite and Melbourne fixture, Hofbrauhaus Melbourne, The Hof Downtown is a fresh, airy and bright new bar and restaurant in Docklands. Attracting a crowd of bright young things, the space is open with glass frontage to take advantage of the excellent location. On Friday and Saturday evenings, The Hof heaves with guests seeking cold beer, colourful cocktails and hungry for different tasting international wines. The menu showcases contemporary European cuisine with a Bavarian twist, so it is an excellent place to grab some hearty food after a few drinks with friends - think schnitzels, pork belly or croquettes. There are big meat trays to share as well as a good selection of vegetarian and vegan options. This is a contemporary kitchen which cares about its guests. A place to visit for a drink or to stay for a while, there is lots of fun to be had at The Hof.
