About
Standing since 1879, the Esplanade Hotel is Queenscliff's heartbeat — the local gathering spot at the centre of this heritage Bellarine Peninsula township. At the corner of Gellibrand and Learmonth Streets, it's a five-minute walk from the Queenscliff ferry terminal and the historic foreshore. Locals come for the bistro and the footy; visitors come to soak up the atmosphere of one of Victoria's most charming seaside towns.
The pub runs a full bistro, a proper sports bar, beer garden and the popular Harry's on the Balcony — a cocktail and drinks bar with views over Gellibrand Street. Open seven days. The kind of local that earns its place in a tourist town by looking after the residents first.
Esplanade Hotel is the Bellarine Peninsula's oldest verified heritage pub — trading continuously since 1879, 30 years after Geelong's oldest (the Petrel Hotel, est. 1849). See how it fits into the seven-pub heritage cluster across Geelong and the Bellarine.
