About Woolstore

About Woolstore
Woolstore Restaurant & Bar is the third venue from Hamo Hospitality, offering a refined dining experience in the heart of Newtown’s river-end.
Spacious and full of character, Woolstore blends contemporary dining with the vibrant energy of a late-night cocktail lounge.
At the helm of the kitchen is award-winning Chef Eli Grubb, whose menu showcases the best of Geelong’s local produce through modern, shareable dishes. A standout feature? Our parrilla grill, which brings bold, smoky flavours to every plate.
We also offer a wide variety of delicious gluten-free options. You can find us listed on Find Me Gluten Free, so you can dine with confidence knowing your dietary needs are taken care of.

Timeless interior
Once part of Geelong’s historic wool trade, this building has been thoughtfully transformed into a vibrant dining destination.
Designed by Hamilton Clark and brought to life by Hamilton Group, Woolstore honours its industrial roots—featuring original red brickwork, soaring ceilings, and abundant natural light.
One of our favourite details? The original tallowwood was carefully removed, preserved, and reinstated throughout the mezzanine and amenities—blending heritage with contemporary design.
