Buckley's Entertainment Centre Information

Opening in 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. Through a large Membership base, a friendly 'Club' atmosphere and diverse marketing strategies, Buckley's soon became the entertainment hub in Geelong with staff levels growing from 20 people in 1993 to over 90 currently. Buckley's sponsors the three local football leagues - Geelong Football League (GFL), Bellarine Football League (BFL), and Geelong & District Football League (GDFL) every season and also distributes money each year to the local football clubs in the Geelong and Bellarine area. Buckley's official name is The Geelong Combined Leagues Club Ltd. and included in their sponsorship each year is also the Geelong Umpires League, Geelong Junior Football and the Geelong Falcons. Buckley's also prides itself on assisting various Community groups, charities, sporting clubs and donating goods and services to many local schools and businesses.

From small beginnings the Club has added a 300 seat auditorium in 1997, more renovations in late 2004 extended the Club further ahead from its competition. From 2009-2016 the Club has undergone 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.
