Time to up your brunch game.
Some days we like to chill out and kick back on the couch with a bowl of spag bol and a glass of red, but other days we’re in the mood for endless chef-cooked eats, free-flowing drinks and zero washing up. When a weekend feast with your good mates is on the cards, we like to make the most of it with the humble bottomless brunch, or lunch, or dinner – as long as it’s bottomless, we’re really not fussy.
So, whether you’re partial to hair of the dog, looking to celebrate a milestone or just want to let the drinks flow, there’s a bottomless brunch somewhere in Geelong with your name all over it. Here are some of our favourites:
Recess Bar + Eats
Recess is Central Geelong’s only Gluten-Free Restaurant offering you a space to run around, have a snack, play with friends and make new ones! With food that is A+ and cocktails that are even better, you’ll be pleased to know they are giving guests the option to play a little harder with their Bottomless Lunch.
Available every Saturday at either 11:30am or 2pm with two-hour sitting duration, this bottomless outing will load you up with two hours of cocktails, sparkling wines, tap beer and mocktails PLUS five courses of food! Yes, five! All for just $80 per head. A couple of cocktails in and you’re already saving money.
Just one glance at their menu and you won’t even care what you get – it’s all that damn good. Whether it be three cheese arancini, vanilla prawns, or pork belly bites, or perhaps even braised beef cheek or cauliflower macaroni and cheese – we can guarantee you’ll be licking the plate clean.

A local favourite, Mr Umami’s has been delivering the flavours of Asia to Geelong for the past few years with their delicious handmade delights – from dumplings, curry pastes and sauces to duck dishes and sashimi.
Combining a range of different regional Asian ingredients and cooking styles with fresh Australian produce, Mr Umami’s have earned themselves a solid reputation for making a modern fusion menu that can be enjoyed in a fun and relaxed environment… and what better way than through bottomless brunch!

Wah Bah
If two hours of Bao Buns is how you like to spend your weekend, this is the place for you. Embracing the bottomless brunch trend, Geelong’s Wah Bah is hosting some epic bottomless lunch events.
Slated for Saturday, October 9, Saturday, November 13 AND Saturday December 4 (with more dates to come), the Bah will be serving up the bottomless feast for two-hour slots for four people at 12pm or 3pm.
For $60 each, you can graze your way through a free-flowing feed of their forever loved Bao Buns and unlimited punch bowls. We’re hoping it might include their famed strawberry mojito, Twice as Nice (with Cointreau, Malibu, Midori & Elderflower liquor, pineapple and lime) or perhaps even their espresso martini… regardless of what they’re serving, we recommend you bring your drinking shoes. As for the bao, surely we’ll be chowing down on the likes of the crispy chicken, BBQ glazed pork belly and the marinated jackfruit.
We’re calling it. This is going to be the event of the year. Gather your crew, buy your ticket and prepare to spend two hours testing the limits of your waistband. Note, tickets are only available for groups of four or more.
Keep an eye on their socials too for their special bottomless events that pop up throughout the year.

Mulita BBQ
If you’re craving the best of American cooking with a touch of Mexican flavours, Mulita BBQ – a joint for all burger lovers – is offering a pretty appealing bottomless option for those that are game.
Having earned themselves a solid reputation for American BBQ with fresh and vibrant Mexican influences out in North Geelong for the past few years, it’s their dedication to the Texas-style smoked meats (with some dishes requiring up to 12 hours of smoking) that have customers coming back time and time again. Just one taste and you’ll become a loyal customer, we guarantee it.
Running on Friday and Saturdays, Mulita are doing BBQ table share platters, with brisket, pulled pork, fried chicken, sausage, BBQ wings, sides, sauces and bread. This part is $39 per person and available as the whole table. However, the feast isn’t why they’re on the list. It’s the option of adding on two hours of bottomless cocktails, selected beers, wines and softdrinks for just $40 extra that caught our eye.
That’s just $79 for a decent feed and a whole lot of booze. Sign. Us. Up.
