Shopping & Retail in Geelong West

Anchored by the Pakington Street strip, Geelong West is the city's most walkable cafe and bar precinct. The suburb mixes Victorian-era cottages with new apartments, and "Pako" itself runs the gamut from breakfast spots and grocers to wine bars and boutique retail. It's the after-work and weekend hub for inner-Geelong locals who don't want to drive into the CBD.
