About Bareena Bowling Club
Bareena Bowling Club has been part of Newtown since 1913. It sits on Noble Street just off Pakington Street, and while it runs pennant teams and member competitions, it is open to the wider community. You do not need to be a member to visit, play a casual game or book a party. For celebrations, the clubhouse has three function spaces suited to smaller and larger groups. Each has its own licensed bar, kitchen access, toilets, disabled access and a pool table. Groups can take over the clubhouse for a party or settle into the outdoor seating around the greens, and barefoot bowls can be built into any function so guests get a roll between drinks. The club lists birthdays, engagements, weddings, corporate events and work Christmas parties among the occasions it hosts, and hens and bucks groups can be arranged under certain conditions. Food is flexible. Guests may bring their own nibbles, order in from delivery services or hire a barbecue and cook their own, and the kitchen itself is available to a caterer or the group on request, with a quote. On Friday evenings in summer the club runs a twilight barefoot bowls competition for teams of two to four, with bowls supplied and a barbecue dinner. Function dates and pricing are arranged with the club manager.

Frequently asked questions
Do we need to be members to book a party?
No. Non-members are welcome at the club, whether for a casual game of barefoot bowls, a function in one of the clubhouse rooms or a Friday twilight competition night.
What should guests wear on the green?
Barefoot bowls is played barefoot, in thongs or in flat-soled sneakers. Bowls are supplied by the club, although keen players can bring their own set.
What are the function rooms like?
There are three function spaces for different group sizes. Each comes with its own licensed bar, access to a kitchen, toilets, disabled access and a pool table, and groups can also use the outdoor seating beside the greens.
Can we bring our own food?
Yes. Guests can bring their own nibbles, order delivery, or hire a barbecue and cook their own food, and disposable plates and cutlery are a good idea. Hiring the club kitchen for a caterer or the group is quoted separately.
Can hens or bucks parties be held at the club?
Hens and bucks groups can be arranged, though the club applies some conditions to these bookings. Details are worked through with the club manager when the date is confirmed.

Went there for the Blues jam session. It was a lovely experience. Everyone was friendly and the musos were all pros, Felt great to get up on stage and strum some chords along with the Pros.

Sensational place... been in Geelong for 23 years, & didn't know it existed! Went there to play in an 8 ball comp. but it's immaculate & full of history... if you were into outdoor bowling, I'd say check this place out..…
