frankie. Bar and Eatery find their feet with new function spaces

Words by Chloe Cicero

Cocktail bar, function venue, pan-Asian-fusion restaurant. Is there anything frankie. can’t do?

The brilliant ethos of frankie. is that you can dress up, feel fabulous, head out on the town to a stunning, higher-end venue, get those awesome Instagram shots to make your friends jealous… YET… get your hands dirty with some non-pretentious, house-made, delicious food like their to-die-for Golden Balls, Spring Rolls, Bao Buns and Popcorn Chicken, just to name a few. They have also recently launched Pad Thai Nachos – you have GOT to try them! They also cater for all dietary requirements and have listed all of their dishes by dietary on the menu!

Keep up with the latest food and booze news across the region here.

What is the perfect pairing to all food? Well, it’s cocktails of course, and frankie. pride themselves on their epic cocktail list – THERE ARE 30 COCKTAILS, GUYS – all of which can be made as mocktails. They are all handcrafted in-house and only use the most premium of spirits and ingredients. YUM! They also have a predominantly local wine list. Local supporting local, nothing better. The same goes for the food. They are not pretentious or pretending to be something that they aren’t. Think down-to-earth, fresh local ingredients, and making everything in-house with love – and what is better than seeing guests leave happy and full, and a little bit silly.  

frankie. changed owners a few weeks before COVID-19. What could have been a disaster, turned into a huge success. With a slight change in the business model, they were lucky they could still offer their delicious food and cocktails as takeaway – thank the lord, this was the best! Another reason why Geelong is #1. We get behind our small businesses.

Now that we are back to a somewhat new normal, who doesn’t love events!  frankie. seems to be labelled as the “hens, engagement and baby shower capital of Geelong“, with so many guests choosing to head to frankie. to celebrate their important life moments. And why wouldn’t you? frankie. can host full venue engagement and weddings, to small and intimate private dinners or cocktail parties. They have two private rooms for smaller gatherings (60ish guests), or take the whole venue for that ultimate exclusivity (with 200+ of your nearest and dearest). The world of frankie. is your event oyster. 

 

Now for some breaking news! If your favourite word is ‘bottomless’ I have some fantastic news for you. You can now pop on down to frankie. on a Friday and Saturday and receive bottomless cocktails along with delicious food dishes, all for $89 per guest – there will be a table booked for me each week. Please join so I don’t drink alone…
