About

The Yardz Hotel sits on the corner at 77 Church St, Geelong West — one block over and about 600m east of the Pakington St strip. Long-time locals still call it the Saleyards Hotel and that older name still appears on the Facebook page and some directory listings; the pub itself trades today as The Yardz. It's a Geelong West venue but it sits off the Pakington Pub Trail rather than on it — a different kind of suburb local, less polished bistro, more weeknight regular.

The bistro runs lunch from noon to 2pm and dinner from 6pm to 8:30pm every day. The kitchen's two parmi cards are the reason to plan a visit: Tuesday's $13.50 chicken parmi is the cheapest weekly parmi we've verified in the directory — a clear undercut on the next-cheapest weekly deal at $22 — with a $17 porterhouse and pot for the steak side of the table and happy hour 6pm–8pm. Sunday is 'Parmis of the World' — the kitchen rotates through nine themed parmi variations from different cuisines around the world. The beer garden out the back doubles as a function room. Fox Sports runs across the bar TVs through the week, and Thursday is meat raffle night with the Social Club.

What's On

$13.50 Parmi Night · $17 Porterhouse + Pot · Happy Hour
Every Tuesday · happy hour 6pm – 8pm
The headline night. $13.50 chicken parmi — the cheapest weekly parmi we've verified in Geelong — backed up by a $17 porterhouse with a pot for the steak side of the table. Bistro service runs to 8:30pm so get in earlier rather than later, especially during footy season.
Social Club Meat Raffle
Every Thursday
The Yardz Social Club runs the weekly meat raffle on Thursday — long-running pub tradition, regulars sign up, trays drawn over the evening session. Sit down for a parmi from the regular menu while you wait for the trays to drop.
Parmis of the World — 9 Rotating Variations
Every Sunday · bistro service
A Sunday menu the kitchen built around nine themed parmi variations from different cuisines around the world — the rotating list changes, the format is fixed. The most distinctive parmi card in the directory; a strong call for Sunday-session diners who've worked through the weeknight specials elsewhere and want a different take on the format.
Bistro · Lunch and Dinner Daily
Lunch 12pm – 2pm · Dinner 6pm – 8:30pm · 7 days
Bistro service runs seven days a week — short lunch and dinner windows but consistent across the calendar. Good for a midweek catch-up where you want a kitchen running both meal services without booking ahead.
