Let us entertain you!
Something we do really well in Frankston City is year-round hospitality and entertainment, to suit all ages and interests. Our flourishing hospitality scene is what keeps our 800,000 (and counting!) annual visitors coming back. Even without the additional draw of our packed calendar of major festivals and events.
There is a huge range of family-friendly dining and activities. From established popular chains such as TGI Fridays, Betty’s Burgers, Mad Mex, San Churros, YOMG, Schnitz, Spudbar, Grill’d, Cold Rock Ice Creamery, General Public and Subway to name just a few. To some amazing boutique offerings featuring eclectic décor, indoor and outdoor dining, artisan menus and recipes. Plus the obligatory fast food and takeaway chains McDonalds, Hungry Jacks, KFC, Nando, Pizza Hut, Red Rooster.
If that’s not enough to keep the kids happy, then there’s always the indoor playgrounds Funtopia and Gravity Zone, Frankton Hoyts and Karingal Village cinemas, bowling and laser tag at Strike Bowling, Holey Moley’s mini golf, arcades, bowling and a giant tube slide at General Public, our very own Excape room, roller skating rink Sk8te House, Zone Bowling, water slides at PARC - and of course the 124 (and counting!) play grounds throughout the Municipality!
Frankston Foreshore’s boat ramp plays host to some fantastic food vans offering coffee, gelato, brunch snacks, fish and chips with the best views in town!
For the adults, we have some of the best tap houses, breweries and distillers right here in Frankston City, with our infamous seven stop Frankton City Beer and Spirit Trail which includes Banks Brewery, Dainton Brewery, That Spirited Lot Distillers, Biersal Brewery, Frankston Brewhouse, The Hop Shop, The Cheeky Squire.
Renowned for live music, the night life in Frankston’s city centre won’t disappoint. The Deck, Pier Hotel, Grand Hotel and Cheeky Squire stand corner to corner in one of our most highly frequented intersections, pulling the late night crowds with their roof top bars, large outdoor decks, luscious décor, fantastic menus, live music, guest DJs, fairy lights, neon, cocktails, fashion and fun.
The City also hosts numerous markets throughout the warmer months. Sunset Twilight Markets has a relaxed vibe with plenty of stalls, live music, food trucks and cocktails by the beach. Little Beauty Market showcases over 100 of Melbourne's very best makers and creators, and the Seaford Farmers Market is praised for its beautifully fresh produce.
Cheers!
