Pub lunch in Geelong with winter sports and big screen action
Where to enjoy a pub lunch Geelong sports fans love
Looking for the perfect pub lunch in Geelong while catching all the summer sports action? The Sphinx Hotel is the place to be this Winter. With a laid-back atmosphere, great food, and some of the biggest TV screens in the region, there’s no better spot to enjoy lunch and cheer on your favourite AFL or Soccer team.
From the iconic AFL to the electric excitement of the Moto GP, plus the fast-paced action of the Horse Racing, The Sphinx brings you front and centre to every match. Whether you're into AFL, FIFA, or just love the energy of a live sports crowd, we've got it all playing on the big screen in our sports bar.
Big screen action and winter comfort
Our pub lunch menu has something for everyone. Think classic Aussie favourites like parmas, burgers, and fish and chips, as well as fresh salads and lighter options perfect for a warm day. Pair it with a cold beer, cider or soft drink, and you’re set for a cracking afternoon. And if you're bringing the whole crew, our generous portion sizes and family-friendly service make it easy to keep everyone happy.
What really sets The Sphinx apart is the atmosphere. With indoor, air-conditioned comfort, there’s no need to sweat it out under the sun while watching the game. Our massive TVs and surround sound make you feel like you’re right there at the stadium, but with way better food and a beer in hand.
The sports bar is designed for comfort and energy. Large communal tables make it ideal for groups, while smaller tables give couples or solo diners a relaxed space to enjoy the game. And with attentive staff who love a chat about the latest cricket score or tennis upset, you’ll feel right at home.
Winter sport live and loud in Geelong
This winter, we’re showing every major sporting event live and loud. Whether you’re coming in for a quick bite on your lunch break or settling in for the afternoon with mates, our sports bar delivers the ultimate game-day experience. And for those who can’t decide what to watch, we often have multiple games on different screens, so no one misses out.
Expect high-energy afternoons watching AFL teams battle it out to appear at the Big Dance in September, thrilling FIFA World Cup clashes, or nail-biting moments from the Melbourne Cup. If you're a football fan, there’s always something from the Premier League or international fixtures streaming live.
You won’t just be watching sport, you’ll be immersed in it. We regularly get groups who treat the Sphinx like their clubhouse, coming in for lunch and staying for hours. It’s the kind of local tradition that builds community, great memories, and a lot of laughs.
