Correction (10 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026.
Six places for a Kingsville-area weekend: a brewpub, a cinema, a karting centre, a bookshop, a bakery and a restaurant. Barbarian Brewing Co. is the Kingsville address, four are in Yarraville, and Battle Kart is on McArthur Street.
Each entry credits the source for its hours. This page prints no prices, so check costs with the venue before you plan around them. A short itinerary sits in the last answer.

Barbarian Brewing Co. — 289 Geelong Road, Kingsville VIC 3012
AGFG lists Live Music, Vegan Options, Child Friendly and Alfresco Dining for Barbarian Brewing Co. Its site lists Wednesday 12 to 9pm, Thursday to Saturday 12 to 10pm and Sunday 12 to 9pm, with the kitchen closing at 9pm Wednesday to Saturday and 8pm on Sunday. This page prints no prices for it.
Plan it: the site’s listing runs Wednesday to Sunday, so build the brewpub stop around those days.
Sun Theatre — 8 Ballarat Street, Yarraville VIC 3013
Sun Theatre’s hours here come from the OpenStreetMap tag only, which lists every day 09:30 to 21:30 and may be out of date. A tag like that is a general window rather than a session time, so check the cinema’s own site for what is screening. This page prints no prices for it.
Rain backup: a cinema is an indoor option, though this page has no session times for it.
Battle Kart — 50 McArthur Street
Battle Kart’s site lists Monday to Thursday 10:30am to 8:00pm, Friday 10:30am to 10:00pm, Saturday 10:00am to 11:00pm and Sunday 10:00am to 8:00pm. The OpenStreetMap tag lists different hours, so treat the site as the first check and confirm before you go. This page prints no prices for it.
Plan it: this page prints no price for it, so confirm costs with the venue before you plan around karting.
Sun Bookshop — 10 Ballarat Street, Yarraville VIC 3013
Sun Bookshop’s site lists Monday to Thursday 9.30am to 7.30pm, Friday and Saturday 9.30am to 8.30pm and Sunday 9.30am to 5.30pm. The OpenStreetMap tag carries the same hours. It is on Ballarat Street, as is Sun Theatre.
Rain backup: an indoor browse on any day, as its site lists hours for every day of the week.
Alfa Bakehouse — 42 Anderson Street, Yarraville VIC 3013
Alfa Bakehouse’s site lists weekdays 6am to 4pm and weekends 7am to 4pm, and the OpenStreetMap tag matches. AGFG lists Breakfast, Takeaway, Child Friendly, Vegan Options and Alfresco Dining. This page prints no prices for it.
Plan it: a weekend start from 7am on the site’s listing, ahead of the other stops.
Eleni’s Kitchen — 28 Anderson Street, Yarraville VIC 3013
Eleni’s Kitchen’s site lists lunch Tuesday to Sunday 12:00pm to 3:00pm and dinner Tuesday to Sunday 5:30pm to 10:00pm, and the OpenStreetMap tag shows Monday off. A press write-up reposted on its site, not a current listing, mentions an outdoor terrace with plate-smashing and live music on the weekends, so check whether that still runs. This page prints no prices for it, so check the current details.
Get there: Anderson Street, Yarraville, which is also Alfa Bakehouse’s street.

How we checked
We checked every place on this page against at least two independent sources on 9 October 2026: the places’ own websites, the Australian Good Food Guide and OpenStreetMap. We copied no menu prices from these places’ own pages, so this page prints none. Menus, prices and opening hours change, so check with the venue before you go.
