About
Standing since 1856, the National Hotel is one of Geelong's oldest pubs and one of its most striking. Spread across three levels, the ground floor public bar serves craft beers and a casual menu; the mid-level dining room features exposed brick walls and an open fireplace; and the rooftop terrace — with its retractable roof — delivers Geelong skyline views year-round. Modern Australian menu spans parmas, steaks and Barramundi alongside cocktails and a serious craft beer list. Live music and DJ nights run Friday and Saturday from 9pm.
