About
The Lara Hotel on Hicks Street is the community pub for Lara — a growing outer suburb about 12km north of Geelong CBD along the Princes Highway corridor. With a population exceeding 15,000 and strong residential development in recent years, Lara is one of Greater Geelong's fastest-growing areas, and the Hotel is its local anchor.
Full bistro serving lunch and dinner seven days a week, a sports bar for the games, a gaming lounge, and a beer garden when the weather's right. Easy off-street parking. A reliable neighbourhood local doing exactly what a community pub should.
