A place to meet, eat and drink, Riverbank Lane is home to a number of bespoke businesses that combined are creating an eclectic and contemporary atmosphere in the very heart of Hamilton.
Tucked off Victoria Street, Riverbank Lane hums with creativity, flavour and style. Once a bustling shopping hub in the 1970s and 80s, this former mall has been reimagined by Matt Stark and Edwards White architects into one of Hamilton’s most distinctive laneways, an award-winning destination where old charm meets contemporary cool.
Start your day with expertly brewed Rocket Coffee at Café Kopi or vibrant Vietnamese-French fare at Banh Mi Caphe. Pick up world-class pastries from Rüdi’s Bakehouse, from cult-favourite cinnamon swirls and Nordic knots to hearty sourdough loaves, before wandering through Laree Payne Gallery for a dose of contemporary art. Browsers Bookshop is a nostalgic haven stacked with second-hand reads, vintage touches and cosy corners made for lingering.
Whether you’re refreshing your look at Fabrik Hair Salon, joining a creative session at Sip and Sew, or winding down with cocktails and share plates at Mr. Pickles, Riverbank Lane brings together the best of Hamilton’s food, design and community spirit, it's a true inner-city gem made for meeting, eating and exploring.
