About The Commo (Commun Na Feinne) Hotel

A classic South Geelong corner pub serving hearty parmas, crisp schnitzels, and pints beside a roaring hearth. Regulars settle in for substantial counter meals—from crumbed lamb cutlets to generous chicken schnitties piled high with chips, salad, and rich gravy. Families find an easy rhythm here too, thanks to kids’ activity sheets and artwork hung across the walls. Pull up a stool at the bar or tuck into a booth by the fire with a cold Carlton Draught.

  • Hearty Pub Classics: Classic chicken and eggplant parmas, crisp schnitzels, and cutlets plated with generous sides of chips and salad.
  • Fireside Bistro Dining: An open fireplace warms the dining room, offering a cozy hearthside setting for unhurried dinners.
  • Family-Friendly Station: A stocked craft station keeps younger visitors busy with coloring sheets that staff display on pub walls.

  • Dedicated Kids' Activity Station

    Families dine comfortably with a dedicated kids station stocked with pencils and printouts, with finished artwork proudly showcased on the pub walls.

    The best part about the experience though was seeing a dedicated spot for children to grab print outs & pencils to do some colouring in. Having no kids myself, this is an excellent idea & more venues should take note & adopt this practice. All the kids were happy, no screaming or tantrums. Even better again, the pub hangs up all the children's colouring in efforts.

  • Family-Friendly Dining & Kids Menus

    Young diners are treated to substantial, fresh meals including fresh battered barramundi and quality schnitzels made just for them.

    The 6 year old was well catered for from the colouring in pages and pencils to the extensive kids menu ( $13 ). And the kid's fish and chips was crispy battered fresh barramundi !!!
