Pub lunch in Geelong with summer 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 December and January. 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 team.
From the iconic Boxing Day Test to the electric excitement of the Big Bash League, plus the fast-paced action of the Australian Open and international football, The Sphinx brings you front and centre to every match. Whether you're into cricket, tennis, 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 summer comfort
Our pub lunch menu has something for everyone. Think classic Aussie favourites like parmas, burgers, and fish and chips, as well as fresh summer salads and lighter options perfect for a hot 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.
Summer sport live and loud in Geelong
This summer, 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 when Australia takes to the field in the Boxing Day Test, thrilling T20 clashes in the BBL, or nail-biting moments from the Australian Open. 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 summer 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.
Make it a game day to remember
There’s also easy parking, friendly staff, and a relaxed local vibe that makes The Sphinx feel like your home away from home. Plus, our central location in North Geelong means you’re never too far away from a good time.
