Five bars, two dance floors and two levels of excitement!

Nestled in the heart of Geelong, the iconic Eureka Hotel is poised to make a triumphant return after months of meticulous renovations and improvements.

This historic establishment, steeped in over 170 years of heritage, is inviting guests to join in the festivities during its grand reopening weekend. It’s not just a reopening – it’s a revival, a celebration of history, music and culinary excellence, and the introduction of an exclusive new nightclub called Evie. And it’s all going down on September 15.

Stay up to date with what’s happening in and around the region here.

The Eureka Hotel first opened its doors in 1852 as a modest public bar. At that time, it primarily served the parched throats of local traders who arrived from the nearby docks. Little did anyone know that this unassuming establishment would evolve into an integral part of Geelong’s history, enduring for over a century and a half.

In the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, it played host to an array of Australian music pioneers including Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel, Screaming Jets, Dragon, Hunters & Collectors and Tame Impala, among countless others. The Eureka Hotel became a hub for musical innovation and creativity, etching its name into Australian music history.

With a brand-new d&b Audiotechnik P.A. system, cutting-edge lighting, and mesmerizing visuals, the Eureka Hotel is set to resurrect live music in the heart of Geelong. There are big acts on the horizon, with announcements to be made very soon.

Drawing inspiration from renowned venues like The Espy and Garden State Hotel, the venue has undergone a remarkable transformation. The entire venue has been reimagined and divided into five distinct spaces, positioning it as one of the largest and most unique pubs and live music venues in Victoria. As the management puts it, “The vision is to give Geelong something that it’s been asking for.”

But the transformation doesn’t end there. As part of its grand reopening, the Eureka Hotel introduces Evie, a brand-new, high-end club experience. Evie is where luxury meets nightlife and it’s designed to elevate your evening in Geelong to a whole new level.

Within Evie, patrons can immerse themselves in opulent surroundings. The high-end lux finishes and meticulous attention to detail create an atmosphere of unparalleled sophistication and exclusivity. It’s a place where you can dance the night away in style, celebrate special occasions, or simply indulge in the finer things in life.

The newly-refurbished Eureka Hotel offers five bars, including a garden bar and an outdoor terrace sure to impress, along with two dance floors. With Evie as the crown jewel of this revival, prepare to be dazzled by the ultimate VIP experience in Geelong’s nightlife scene.

The Eureka Hotel Geelong is back, and it’s here to create new memories that will undoubtedly add to its storied legacy.

Stop by the Eureka Hotel at noon on September 15 for the grand reopening or check out the website.
