I had my 21st in the sporting globes upstairs cocktail room last night and it went great. I just want to say a massive thank you to brock and Sam who did amazing with keeping up with all the demands behind the bar. They were so lovely, down to earth and made the experience so much more enjoyable. I would highly recommend a function just because of these guys !!! Thank you again.
From the time we entered to the time we left the experience was amazing. Tahlia was fantastic, she remembered our orders there were 7 of us. Her manner was professional and friendly. Highly recommend the ribs best in town .Brock at the register was also excellent .
I really liked the chips here. We sat in a booth and had burgers. Also had the calamari and avocado salad which was delicious but needed more calamari. Nice sauces accompanying the meals too.
Me and my partner just left the place. We obviously loved it! The girl served us is very well trained and helpful! We had pulled pork slider, boneless fried chicken with honey soy, beef burger with French fries. We enjoy everything! The food is so good, maybe the best pub food we ever had. The waitress is lovely and helpful! Beautiful place for watching sport! Will definitely come back next time when we visit Geelong !
Beautifully refreshing cocktails on a stinking hot day! Calamari vs Avocado bowl was a yummy, healthy option. Fiancé enjoyed the sliders however the kids Mac and cheese balls were slightly over cooked and hard. Still all eaten, so couldn’t have been that bad! Booths with a tv a great idea! Wish we had no kids tonight so we could hang out in the beer garden hehe. Will certainly be back, thank you!
I love to go Sporting Globe Geelong , ambience and Customer service is excellent and I love and I will always order Signature Buffalo wings it’s really amazing.
Great service, it’s very busy so it’s noisy but the booths are great. The bacon cheese burger was excellent and the calamari was really tender although it was a bit salty.

Above average pub food, relaxing environment.
Our day was meant to consist of a trip down the coast and lunch in a pub somewhere, just to get my family (including me) away from our screens. Before we got half way to Geelong the weather turned to crap with continuous rain and gloomy skies, so we used our phones (okay, so they are screens too, I know, I know) to find somewhere to eat in the Geelong city area. We settled on the Sporting Globe hotel in Ryrie Street, the main strip.
Parking was a bit of pot luck but we managed to get a spot (metered) just around the corner so we only had a short walk. Our first impressions were good, there were nice tables and chairs along one wall as well as some booths. We opted for a booth, which could probably accommodate 6 in a pinch but for the four of us it was great - plenty of room. I liked being near the windows so you could watch the world go by outside while you were relaxing. The menu had plenty to choose from, especially if you are a meat lover. There were multiple screens showing different things but thankfully the volume was down very low as this would have annoyed me no end as I hate it when people can't do a thing without a TV being on.
The service was friendly and professional, with the waitress giving us a bit of time before approaching us and pointing out the specials of the day.
I ordered a Porterhouse steak, medium rare with garlic butter and it was cooked perfectly, melting in my mouth. Someone knows how to cook a steak. My wife ("are we there yet, I'm hungry") ordered the pork ribs with a hickory barbecue sauce. The ribs were reasonably generous in size and the taste was great but the only let down was that they should have been hotter (temperature), they were just above warm by the time they got to the table. Boy #1 had 24 buffalo wings so that he could share with all of us. They were tasty but not the best I have had. Boy #2 had a humongous hamburger with beef, pulled pork, bacon and God knows what else. It cost $25.00 but he was very happy with it. All meals came with chips and a smattering of salad (the salad was a small amount of lettuce and some thinly sliced red onion with a Caesar-style dressing and could have done with a few pieces of tomato in my opinion).
There were some really nice beers on tap (Wild Yak, Furphy, 150 lashes, Carlton Draught, Bulmer's cider, etc) and we sampled a few. On tap is always so much nicer than a bottle and you really do enjoy it more and I am not much of a drinker at the best of times. Pub food and beer. Mmm.
The special of the day was a 2-for-1 deal on dessert and the waitress asked us several times if we wanted any, reminding us that we could take it away, but we were too full.
Overall, the pricing was above average, but then again so was the food. We would go back again.
Good food with a nice vibe. Great choice of interiors and seating. Some meals were a better choice then others. Plenty of gluten free options and a large variety of meals. Fairly priced, with daily promotions. Would definitely try the other locations in Melbourne
Can happily say that this is my go to place to start the night off!
The food here is awesome! Service is always great! Plenty of seating and areas for smokers. Plenty of tv screens to watch the footy etc. Great music!
Cant really pick a fault, would highly recommend that you try this place out!
Lots of options to suit lots of different people! Went there and had an array of different foods - Looks great since it's been upgraded, new menu, feel and design. Left feeling satisfied, would recommend for people looking to cater for everybody. Dessert platter was wonderful too.
A sports themed pub in the style of TGIF, Chillis etc. Serves solid Aussie food. Good parmas. Food tends to be a little on the hearty side with large portions.
Verdict: Citrine
