About Wharf Bar & Restaurant Ballina
Wharf Bar & Restaurant Ballina sits on Fawcett Street, right on the edge of the Richmond River in the middle of town. It opens for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day of the week, and the bar runs alongside the kitchen all day. The dining room is set up to make the most of the river outlook, with tables lined along the glass and the deck facing west into the evening sun. Sunset over the water is the backdrop for most evening functions. For private events, the venue takes groups of 100 to 120 guests. It hosts weddings, corporate functions and larger gatherings, with long tables dressed in white linen for receptions and seated dinners. The kitchen focuses on fresh local seafood, quality meats, house-made pasta and pizzas. For groups there are shared set menus for two, group menus written to suit different budgets, and function packages built around each event. The bar pours Australian and imported wines, beers, spirits and made-to-order cocktails, so drinks can follow the style of the night. Groups of ten or more book through the venue directly rather than online. Send an enquiry with the date, guest numbers and type of event to get a function package together.
