Just out of town and at the gateway to the Surfcoast is a hidden gem. Halfway between Geelong and Torquay sits Odyssey Tavern and Brewery, the original and the best craft beer restaurant in the region. Locally owned and operated, the venue showcases craft beer and cider and matches it with quality meals and music. It is one of Geelong and the Surf Coast’s most unique dining and drinking experiences. One of, if not its main strength, is its amazing outdoor/beer garden area. It’s a claim that gets thrown around all the time, but to say Odyssey boasts one of the best outdoor areas in Geelong is no understatement. It’s large and welcoming outside area has it all; bench seating and undercover tables that span the open window area, long wooden tables that could seat 20 of your mates in the sun and a lush grassy area with kids play things – all of which are enclosed by fencing. The sprawling outdoor area has an amazing vibe and is as equally suited to drinks with friends in the sun as it is for a family catch up with the auntys, uncles and grandparents. At Odyssey groups of any size can eat from an amazing menu, with a huge range of food available. Beers can be picked from the fridge or on tap. While they may have quite a few craft beers at their disposal, including a pale ale (The Calypso) and other seasonal brews of their own, it’s all about quality over quantity with the owner Grant sourcing only the finest in craft beers. The joy of sitting and chatting about different beer flavours enriches the experience, beyond sitting sipping the same lager you have been for years. Local & international wine is also on offer to cover all bases! Odyssey Tavern and Brewery is a venue for all seasons, but it shines brightest in summer. The craft beer experience and stress free environment will offer you and your friends an amazing escape in summer. To top it all off Odyssey showcases free live music all weekend & during summer in the beer garden weather permitting along with occasional all day events – to keep you entertained in the sun. Odyssey offers a casual, unique and warm environment for all to enjoy! Make it your meeting place! 611 Surfcoast Hwy, Mt Duneed 5264 1333
