About The Dock
The Dock is a locally owned sports pub on Giles Street at the Kingston Foreshore. It runs live acoustic music on weekends, shows sport on big screens and looks out over the water. Groups can book one of several areas. The bar area suits up to 20, the beer garden takes 60 under cover with big screens, and the Courtyard holds 45 and can be booked as a private space with a projector. The restaurant seats 40 beside a mosaic wall, and the pavilion looks onto the foreshore wharf for up to 70 when the weather allows. Groups of 50 to 100 can spread across several spaces, and the whole pub can be hired for up to 200. Social function packages are served on shared plates over the first two hours. Options include grazing menus, a mix of arancini, squid, sausage rolls and stone-fired pizzas, and grazing boards with cheeses and cured meats. There are no drinks packages. Hosts can set up a bar tab with a limit, or guests buy their own drinks at the bar. A 50% deposit confirms a social function, with the balance paid on the day.
