Sir Charles Darling Hotel
$$$$•Pub•4.8(259)We are a traditional family run pub that has resisted the urge to become upmarket and overly prententious, offering restaurant quality food at pub prices.
You will be lucky to find a busier pub or even restaurant on weekdays than ours.
Our 300g Porterhouse steak has become a Geelong icon, offering unrivalled quality at a very competitive price. Couple that with our Parmi's and it become obvious why we have such a wide range of customers, with many choosing to have birthdays an general gatherings here.
Let our customers tell you what they think of our pub:
“super friendly staff… food was amazing …fabulous pub … lots of locals … steak cooked to perfection …awesome staff … good family atmosphere … nice beer garden … our favourite pub … staff are lovely … really good food … best pub for a steak ... what an unreal find … couldn’t believe the prices” And the comment that comes up the most – “we’ll definitely be back”Frankie Geelong

$$$$•Modern Australian•4.6(534)At Malt Shovel, we still remember our first craft beer. A life-changing moment. A world of floral hops. A world of toffee malts. A world of discovery, refreshment and satisfaction. Craft beer was here and things would be the same again.
