About Belmont
Belmont is a well-established suburb on the south side of Geelong, centred on the High St shopping strip. A predominantly residential suburb with strong community roots, Belmont is home to Belmont Common and sits within easy reach of the Barwon River and the Surf Coast Highway heading towards the beach. The suburb's pubs serve as genuine community hubs for locals. Highton is the neighbouring middle-ring suburb 5km west across the ridgeline, with no venues listed on GeelongPubs yet.

Belmont Pub Picks — a 1920s Art-Deco Rooftop on High St and the 1859 Grovedale Multi-Space Just Down Torquay Rd
The Belmont pub scene runs to two long-established venues on the south-Geelong side of the Barwon. The Belmont Hotel at 77 High St is the 1920s art-deco anchor — rooftop beer garden, live music and DJs every Friday and Saturday, monthly trivia with $15 parmis, and functions to 120. Five minutes south down Torquay Rd, The Grovedale Hotel at 236-258 Torquay Rd has been serving locals since 1859, with the Pioneer Kitchen bistro, The Juke open-air garden bar with live music Fri and Sat, and The Members End sports bar with Foxtel. For a Belmont pub with a full rooftop set-up and a live-band weekend, start on High St; for a Belmont pub with a bistro plus a separate garden bar and sports bar, drive on to Grovedale. Both work as the kind of Belmont pub where the regulars know the bar staff by name.
