Ocean Grove's iconic Tex-Mex cantina — live music, cold drinks, 30+ years

📍 Cnr Grubb Rd & Shell Rd, Ocean Grove VIC 3226

About

The Mex is Ocean Grove's best-loved bar and cantina — a Bellarine Peninsula institution for over three decades. Set on the corner of Grubb and Shell Roads, this Tex-Mex restaurant and bar draws locals and day-trippers with cold drinks, casual food and a laid-back coastal atmosphere. Live music fires up every Friday and Saturday from 6:30pm, and a summer beer garden makes it one of the best spots on the Bellarine when the weather's right.
