The Crown Hotel

Since 1881 The Crown Hotel in Lutwyche, one of Brisbane's iconic historic pubs, has been serving local patrons and in 2021 the 140 year old hotel has undergone a stunning transformation featuring a stylish bistro, beautiful beer garden and sleek sports bar.

The entirely refurbished bistro has an open-air area that opens onto the showstopping new beer garden and heritage pavilion that are both perfect for the spring/summer season, with seating for 140 patrons for casual drinking & dining.

The food menu by Executive Chef Dylan Kemp and Head Chef Jamie Blake offers a balance of high-quality pub classics as well as on-trend casual dining options. Starters & sharing dishes include Prawn Roll with spiced mayo, Fried Halloumi with strawberry, balsamic and cracked white pepper and Beef Tartare with salt & vinegar chips, burnt shallots and pickles.

Mains include bistro dishes such as Confit Duck Leg with celeriac, green lentils and kipfler chips alongside perfected pub classics like the Chicken Parmigiana, Chicken Schnitzel with red cabbage & apple slaw and a selection of steaks, with choices of sauces and toppers such as grilled prawns, salt & pepper calamari and half a Moreton Bay Bug. Those looking for a healthier option can choose from Queenslander Catch of the Day, Tasmanian Salmon, Roasted Cauliflower Salad and Kent Pumpkin Salad.

A sweet line of up of desserts Whipped Baked Cheesecake with strawberry and salted shortbread, Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée with Grand Marnier berries and Chocolate Brownie with hokey pokey gelato and espresso caramel.

The sports bar has also had a major renovation and will be the ultimate destination to watch games live and loud while enjoying a cold beer and food from the counter menu. Local sports teams will find the perfect new hangout with screens to catch all the games, unbeatable specials and a strong tap line up of popular beers.
