About Skyline Bar
Skyline Bar is a cocktail lounge on level 10 of the Crowne Plaza Geelong on Smythe Street, right on the Geelong Waterfront. Floor-to-ceiling windows look across Corio Bay, and the room is fitted out with curved velvet lounges, low tables and a long marble-topped bar. For smaller groups there is a private room, closed off from the main bar, that seats up to 40 guests for lunch or dinner. It can be set with long banquet tables or round tables beside the windows, and it comes with its own event staff and AV equipment. Larger celebrations can take the entire bar, including the private room, for up to 150 people. Exclusive hire gives your group the lounges, the bar and the full sweep of the view, which suits a cocktail-style party where guests mingle rather than sit. The kitchen leans on regional produce: oysters, Portarlington mussels, lamb ribs, pork belly bites, seafood platters and cheese and charcuterie boards. For functions the team builds a menu around your event rather than a fixed list. The drinks list covers signature and classic cocktails, mocktails, local wines and beers from Torquay and the Bellarine. Functions can be set up with a drinks package chosen with the events team. The bar is open to the public through the week, so a private room booking or a full buyout is arranged with the events team, who confirm numbers, menu and drinks before the day.

I really enjoyed the stunning view, especially during sunrise—it truly is breathtaking. The food menu is a bit limited, but the quality is quite good. I especially loved the signature espresso martini; it was delightful!
