About Black Sheep Geelong

Tucked inside the National Wool Museum steps from Costa Hall, Black Sheep delivers a moody, grown-up dining room built for serious drinks and shared European plates. Dimly lit timber posts. Heritage brick. Regulars settle into booths for pork belly, barramundi, and the three-cheese soufflé. To skip decision fatigue, the kitchen’s 'Feed Me' menu takes the wheel—matched with gin tasting paddles from Victorian distillers or a house chilli cocktail.

  • Modern European Plates: Savory share plates centered on a light three-cheese soufflé, crisp pork belly, and pan-roasted barramundi.
  • Victorian Gin Program: Boutique Victorian gin flights, specialized tonic pairings, and house signatures like the gin chilli cocktail.
  • 'Feed Me' Chef Selection: A generous multi-course share menu that eliminates ordering guesswork, with tailored vegetarian options.
  • Afternoon Gin High Tea: Tiered sweet and savory grazing platters paired with daytime craft cocktail packages.

  • Gin Paddle

    The great thing about the paddle is that you get to try a variety of gins that you can go and buy at a later stage so great way to discover.
