Let us lead you astray…

Local beer, wine, cat-themed cocktails.

Piping hot poutine and chips.

Karaoke without the stage fright.

Neon sign with the words 'Stray' in pink, a blue outline of a cat reaching for a triangular 'A' with claw marks, all on a dark background.

Welcome to Astray, a cozy dive bar in Geelong where the drinks are local, no-stage karaoke brings out your inner meow-sician, and good conversations are always on tap. Pop in sometime and see what the cat dragged in — we’d love to have you (and see all your pictures of your furry friends)!

What we offer…

  • A pint of beer on a bar counter with a

    Rotating local beers

    We pride ourselves on sourcing the best beers from independent brewers around Victoria. We like to change it up, but you can always count on our House Cat Lager from Bells Brewing to be on tap.

    Haven’t tried any of our beers before? We’re here to lead you astray… in a good way! Chat to our bar staff, and we’ll help you find one you like.

  • Chocolate layered cocktail garnished with a cookie on a dark wooden table in a dimly lit bar or restaurant.

    Cat-themed cocktails

    We specialise in sours and mules, or as we like to call them “sour pusses” and “mewles”. They range from classics like Whiskey Sour and Moscow Mule, to fun variations with dozens of different base spirits! We also offer signature cocktails, like the Oreo Espresso Martini or the Alley Cat Cosmo, named after our cats!

  • A white bowl filled with French fries topped with cheese, gravy, and fried onions on a wooden table.

    Authentic and inauthentic poutine

    We’re home of Geelong’s poutine! This Canadian treat is a delicious combination of chips, gravy and cheese curds. (And we think it goes great with our House Cat Lager!) We also have some inauthentic combinations, like Japanese curry and Indian curry poutines.

  • A blackboard sign outdoors advertising happy hour with $6 pints of house wine until 6 pm, next to two drinks on a wooden table; one is a yellowish beer and the other is a red cocktail with orange slices.

    Daily Happy Hour

    It’s $6 before 6! Come by and get a pint of our House Cat Lager or a glass of the house wine (white or red) for only $6 from 5-6 on Thursday and Fridays and 4-6 on Saturdays and Sundays. We also offer $12 Spritz’s for Happy Hour.

  • Group of people dancing and enjoying music at a party or celebration in a decorated indoor venue with hanging lights and colorful light effects.

    Weekend Karaoke

    Friday starting at 9pm (with Karaoke Kickstrater drink specials from 8-9) and Saturday starting at 10pm. Karaoke is set up right in our bar area, so no intimidating stages. We like to keep it laid-back and fun here!

  • A neon pink sign reading 'ASTRAY' hangs above a shelf with bottles of wine, ornaments, and photos of cats.

    The Wall of Whiskers

    You might have guessed it, but we love cats! And your cat can be Geelong-famous by joining all these feline friends on our Wall of Whiskers! All you have to do is dm us a photo of your cat, and we’ll do the rest. But please do come in and tell us about your kitty! We love to hear about them.
