I don't understand why so many people whinge and moan about the Geelong nightlife scene, to be honest I think Geelong is absolutely killing it! Maybe we don't have feature acts down every weekend but when we do we are all sure to make a night of it. There are plenty of great people around Geelong pushing different types of music and bringing down some great feature acts, not to mention the amazing local talent that is floating around this great city.
The majority of people complaining seem to be the constant bar flies that go to the same place at the same time to hear the same songs each week, instead of complaining I suggest that you do a bit of research (e.g. Forte Magazine, facebook invites etc.) too see what headline acts are coming to this great town.
Anyway I thought I would share a few of my favourite places for those of you who are keen to try something new or attempt the Wednesday to Sunday bender.
Wednesday - Mista Hyde (10pm-1am)
Joe Joe & JubTek
A guilty midweek pleasure with a laid back feel.

Thursday - Eureka Nightclub (9pm-Late)

Good to see Eureka bringing down some quality Melbourne DJs over the past months to compliment Geelong's talent.
Friday - The National Hotel aka The Nash (9pm-Late)
