Elephant & Castle Hotel

Steak nights, live bands & a great beer garden since 1891

📍 158 McKillop St, Geelong VIC 3220

About

A Geelong CBD institution since 1891, the Elephant & Castle delivers one of the city's most consistent pub experiences. The beer garden is among Geelong's best — a genuine sun-trap with a relaxed atmosphere. A packed weekly events calendar keeps the regulars coming back: premium steak nights Wednesday and Friday (from $25), Jackpot Trivia and Parmi Night every Thursday, Sunday roasts with all the trimmings for $30, and free live bands every weekend. Closed Monday and Tuesday; lunch specials Wednesday to Saturday include a free pot or house wine.

The Elephant also screens live sport on multiple channels across the venue — it features in our sports bars in Geelong guide alongside the city's other top venues for big-screen sport and TAB.
