Pub restaurants in Queensland

  1. A

    OnAqua Restaurant & Bar

    By candlelight, murmurs of conversations resolve into a soothing chant as tastebuds tango at this small and intimate restaurant overlooking a sapphire-blue pool and the Coral Sea beyond. To describe the menu here as simply food is an injustice. This is gastro par excellence, a multidish journey through modern Australian cuisine. Service is efficiently attentive but non-obtrusive - just enough space between courses to pause for savouring and superlatives.

    OnAqua oozes taste in more ways than one but is not pretentious.

    Hoolihan's

    Like all good Irish pubs, Hoolihan's is wildly popular, especially with the backpacker crowd. Maybe it's got something to do with its hard-drinking ethos and carbo-laden meals.

    Bush Inn Bar & Grill

    The Bush Inn, in the crumbling but super-atmospheric old Criterion Hotel, serves some of the best pub food in town and is very popular with locals. There are huge steaks, slabs of barramundi, chicken dishes and pizzas on the menu.

    Longreach Club

    Every country town worth its weight in poker machines has a club like the Longreach Club. There’s a pleasant garden and formal dining room, serving staple roasts, steaks and pasta.

    Cooktown Hotel

    The double-storey timber 'Top Pub' is a local landmark at the top (southern) end of Charlotte St. Plenty of character, plenty of locals and a side beer garden to sit with a beer, kangaroo pie or Sunday roast.

  7. Marlin Bar

    You can't leave Maggie without enjoying a cold one by the window as the sun sets across the bay at this busy seaside pub. The meals are on the large side and revolve around seafood. Great value.

  8. Picnic Bay Hotel

    Settle in for a drink with Townsville's city lights sparkling across the bay. Its R&R Cafe Bar has an all-day grazing menu and huge salads, including Cajun prawn.

    Grand Hotel

    This laid-back local is worth a visit just so that you can rest your beer on the bar – an 11m-long carved crocodile!

  10. Marlin Bar

    This lively waterfront pub does decent pasta dishes and serves more meat than you could poke a cattle prod at. Grab a number and a window seat; your food will find you when it's ready.
