Was very surprised to see a little pub setting in the middle of the suburbs! But loved it!
Food was filling and fresh very well worth the money
The staff were very formal and polite
All up a great experience- will definitely be going back!
Would never have found this restaurant if i hadnt scrolled past it on zomato! It's nestled in some quiet residential back streets!
Service was great! Food was above average for pub grub! We highly enjoyed it! Price for 3 people was $145 with an alcoholic beverage each! Would go back...
A local pub with restaurant quality food. This old pub is in the back streets of suburban Geelong. Humble from the outside the interior is warm with open fires in the dinning room and an old English feel in the bar. Good handful of beers on tap and nice wines to match the quality meals. I ordered a steak and was impressed with the cut and selection of sides. If you're after a quality pub meal with service to match then this one ticks the boxes.
Tender rump steak with golden chips and a yum garlic butter and fresh salad. Flash fried calamari with fried corn salad and ranch dressing. Both delicious and so tasty. Service was knowledgable and friendly - a classy pub that is comfortable and welcoming.
Nice food and friendly staff. A pleasant atmosphere..
New owner Richard Kelly, it was magnificent steaks are brilliant and perfectly cooked. Well done Richard
Quality dining in your jeans,Newtown pub. We turned up at 6.45pm without a booking on a Thurs night.Plenty of parking-pub packed with locals in front/a wine tasting about to start in back. Noisy front bar did not disturb the two of us in rear dining room where staff apologised for sitting us behind a pillar.(last avail table)Private& cosy but I feared we'd be forgotten?Unfounded-drinks& meals timely and delicious.Barrumundi was perfection(crispy skinned/moist and flaky flesh-Lamb shank ragout on pasta also melt in mouth.It was refreshing to see LOCAL wines on offer by the glass -$8 Lethbridge pinot.We spent $38 each on a really fine meal,a decent glass of wine and a desire to return soon.Prob best to book!
Tuesday t-bone night! Can't go past it!! Even allowed to have it in the restaurant, not just the bar
Great value. Bar meals are amazing value and really good quality and size, the restaurant is certainly no pub meal. Really good menu and excellent service, staff do a great job. The pub itself is worth visiting, even if you're not hungry. Just like being in the UK, might be Geelong's only true residential pub, bit like stepping back in time. Full of locals and aged routien, if you've time to just enjoy your surroundings this is a great spot to do it in.
Mensday at the Gold Diggers. The Gold Diggers was the venue elected for our Inaugural Mensday evening for 2012. It coincided with locals night and featured the spinning wheel amongst an array of special parmigiana's on the menu. We would have been mad not to try the specials menu and two of us tried different parmas and were very happy with the results. The size, well it was as big as plate and full of flavour. A great friendly crowd and we will be back. good prices on beer too. We give the vibe 8 out of 10 and the food and drink 7 1/2 out of ten.

Have only eaten in the bar. Best quality bar food in Geelong. Stock standard bar menu, which varies slightly from time to time. There is usually a current special, and also a couple of $10 meals. Very friendly staff, fast service, live music Friday/Saturday nights, $12.50 parmi night on a Wednesday (several to choose from), a beer garden, several TV's with various sports, TAB, and the glasses are chilled! Great place for a casual meal, and offers all that a good pub should. Restaurant menu is a fair bit more expensive, but a lot more sophisticated.
Service and meals are amazing. The beetroot gnocchi is my favourite and will definitely order it again. My son had the steak and loved it; the meal sizes are generous . Booked the function room, the attention to detail, and meals service was exceptional . Thank you for making a special family celebration even better
I spent my birthday at the Gold Diggers Arms at the recommendation of a mate and I am so glad I did! The food was perfection. I got the pork belly, which was robust and moist with perfectly crisp skin. The caramelised onions, peas and mash gave it a home cooked quality. I also treated myself to a sticky date pudding, which was develishy sweet. The drinks flowed and we had plenty of fun. I recommend the Gold Diggers Arms to anyone who wants an exceptional pub dinner.
Dropped in for a quick lunch and ordered the Veal Parmi - finally a REAL veal schnitzel and not a flattened piece of cardboard. Juicy thick and the best veal schnitzel I’ve had for years. Friendly staff. Happy customer here.
Staff so Friendly...food amazing and have a fire 🔥 going we we're In a private spot ....up the back of bistro.
Even though place was very busy we could still chat , enjoy our food
Ambience and atmosphere AMAZING 🎶
WILL BE BACK 🦋😀🙏✨🌊
Great local, but I’m not a local. We dropped in for a few jars before the Foo Fighters gig at the stadium and it was great! Chicken Parma was outstanding and cozy environment. The car park across the road is a winner too. Perfect pre drink place before footy or an event or just because!
A good quick my meal before a show. Really enjoyed their Beef Schnitzel. Served in plenty of time to get to the theatre.
Always delicious food, more a fine dining experience. Friendly, obliging staff. Good atmosphere
Delicious meals, friendly service, accommodating of dietary requirements, including a separate fryer for gluten free, lovely atmosphere (including a fireplace). Thank you.
