Frankie. is where culinary artistry meets chic cocktails.

The brilliant ethos of frankie. is that you can dress up, feel fabulous, head out on the town to a stunning, higher-end venue – and get those stunning Instagram shots – as well as get your hands dirty with some non-pretentious, house-made, delicious food, like the irresistible Golden Balls, Spring Rolls, Bao Buns and the finger-licking Popcorn Chicken.

What better complement to such flavoursome food than a handcrafted cocktail from their extraordinary list? frankie. pride themselves on their epic cocktail list of 30 cocktails – each crafted with premium spirits and top-notch ingredients. And all of these can be made as mocktails. YUM! They also have a predominantly local wine list. Local supporting local, nothing better!
And speaking of local, the same goes for the food. This restaurant is 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?
Dietary requirements are no hurdle at Frankie., as they offer a comprehensive dietary needs menu that thoughtfully lists each dish by dietary category, from vegan to gluten-free, Low-FODMAP to Nut and Soy allergies. Guests can now relax and enjoy their time without worrying about their tummy, savouring every moment spent with friends and family.
Under new ownership just weeks before COVID-19 hit, frankie. altered their business model and offered their delicious food and cocktails takeaway – which was the best! Another reason why Geelong is number one; we get behind our small businesses.
Now, with events back in full swing, Frankie. has earned its reputation as the ‘hens, engagement, and baby shower capital of Geelong’. It’s the ideal venue for all-important life moments, offering private rooms for intimate gatherings (60 people) and the entire venue for grand celebrations like engagements and weddings (200+ people!). Whatever the occasion, the world of frankie. is your event oyster.
