Open since October 1993, Buckley's in Breakwater Geelong, has grown into one of the largest and most popular Clubs in Victoria.

Situated in Breakwater about 5 minutes from the city centre, Buckley's was developed to assist local football leagues and football clubs. Buckley's opened with a 140 seat Bistro, TAB, Bar Lounge and a Gaming Room.

Buckley's official name is The Geelong Combined Leagues Club Ltd. as it is proudly owned by the three local football leagues - Geelong Football League (GFL), Bellarine Football League (BFL), and Geelong & District Football League (GDFL) as well as the Geelong Football Umpires League (GFUL).

Buckley's is able to distribute money each year to the 38 local clubs, based on the success of our business. As well as additional sponsorship each year to the three leagues and junior football.

Buckley's also prides itself on assisting various community groups, charities, sporting clubs and donating goods and services to many local schools and businesses.

Buckley’s was built as an entertainment and dining Club and has developed into a real success story. From small beginnings the Club added a 300 seat auditorium in 1997, with more renovations in late 2004 extending the Club further ahead of its competition. From 2009-2016 the Club underwent even more renovations and transformations, with the inclusion of another alfresco dining area, renovations to our entrance and reception area as well as other facilities such as the toilets. In June 2016 Buckley's introduced a new Private Dining area in addition to our Bistro, complete with private booth seating and touch screen TV's. Also included is a private party area seating up to 22 people, perfect for special occasions and birthday dinners.

Uncle Buck's Ice-Creamery was a game changer, and added something extra to Buckley's that isn't available at other venues within the area. During the lockdown period in 2020 Buckley's did a full refurbishment of the main bar, gaming bar, gaming lounge and foyer. The huge project of creating Uncle Buck's Play Parlour was also completed, adding yet another significant and well built/designed feature for locals and visitors to enjoy!

Buckley's prides itself on its continuing improvements and innovations of what is already a great Club, so that both members and visitors have a comfortable and modern venue of which they can feel proud.

In 2013 Buckley's ventured out and purchased a 61 room motel in Warrnambool, the Mid City Motel Warrnambool. With extensive renovations and refurbishment made to all rooms, bar and restaurant area as well as reception, the motel was transformed into a modem day stylish organisation. This was part of the Buckley's Group portfolio until late 2018 when it was sold to take pursue other growth opportunities.
