Comments of Empire Hotel
L. A.
Best pub in Brisbane I reckon! Good beer with crafty taps, bloody good whiskey with great prices, pool tables and dope pub feed. What's not to like?

A great upmarket hotel in the Fortitude valley area! Great food & drinks are very reasonable! Friendly service always has been provided by the staff of the hotel! Wheelchair access to the hotel is available!Passing everyday I noticed the Jameson sign! I thought It had an i in it so I talked my boyfriend shoes surname is Jamieson to have a drink & take a photo under the sign! We tried out the Margarita beer! $8.00 A schooner & $10.00 for a pint! Excellent music & on the bar are little polaroids of customers & old copies of great rolling stone magazines all along the awesome bar! An Irish redhead barmaid was very helpful & friendly! We thanked her for the excellent experience!♥️♥️♥️🍹🍺🍻🍷🎉🎸🎼🎻🥁🎤🎙📯😊♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Our Zoomo Team had a send-off to our team lead in this wonderful establishment. The food will give you generous portions of meat and side dishes, the drinks are awesome and there is a pool where everyone can play. The boys absolute favourite is the chicken parmi. Staff are amazing and wonderful too.
J. B.
Good bar for drinks with friends, pool tables are good. Good atmosphere most of the time.
R. L.
Great atmosphere in the well located bar. Very chill. Staff are always very friendly. Its never overcrowded on the weekend if you want to grab a quick and tasty lunch. Always have a great selection of new craft beers to try. Meal sizes are always huge....especially the chicken parmy! Massive and soooooo much cheese! Just wow! Been going here for years!
C. H.
Great beers, delicious burgers and a very handsome DJ on the weekends.

You can’t go wrong at the Empire hotel! Come here during the day for lunch and a quiet drink or two or have the wildest night in your dreams with your friends! I have fond memories from back in the day when moon bar was open upstairs. It definitely is an iconic Brisbane bar in the heart of the valley. Elle will make sure you are looked after and your drink is always full and with the amazing array of beers on tap and amazing cocktail list you won’t have any trouble deciding on a drop to indulge in. Big shout out to some amazing nights at Tranny Bingo here too...this place has it all for good times with great friends.
J. R.
Highly recommend 👍
- Great selection of beers and spirits.
- Food is great and reasonablly priced.
- Staff are enthusiastic and helpful.
I'll be back.

Nice place that retains its historic charms and rustic interiors. It has a wide selection of cocktails, beers and spirits for alcohol lovers. They have an extensive list of rums as well. Food is not bad, though the juicy rotisserie chicken can be less saltier then it would great. Nice music and friendly staffs as well. As of writing, UQU members get 25% off all food items.
Like any other nearby establishments in Fortitude Valley, parking can be a bit of concern, so catching public transport or a cab would be wise options.
D. M.
Great atmosphere with a lot of space and things to do (e.g., pool). All major credit cards accepted (Visa, Mastercard, American Express (AMEX) without any ridiculous surcharges :) Excellent, knowledgable bartenders making good drinks. The food, however, is average at best. It's an overall great place to spend time with your mates and have a few drinks while hanging out in the valley.
L. L.
During the week this is a nice place to catch up for a meal over some drinks. Generous sized booths with an olde world /industrial charm, pool tables, meals and a great selection of drinks. An eclectic mix of people add to the unique ambience of the place. Service is always a little on the slow side so if you're into snappy service you may not enjoy the relaxed pace of the place. On weekends this place is pretty lively with a Gen Y crowd.
K. P.
Great atmosphere, cheap drinks at Happy Hour, clean bathrooms, and convenient location. The staff are friendly too! My new favourite bar. Although sometimes the music is a bit too loud which can make it hard to talk with your friends.
J. B.
It's not the old Empire Moon bar that I grew up with, but solid team and great beers!
G. B.
My favourite pub in the Valley. The booth's are great good variety of craft beers as well as pool tables for a quite game. The staff are great 👍
W. T.
Great staff and good pool tables. The place needs to replace their pool ques and tips more often but it's still the best place to go for pool in the valley.
j. n.
Good range of drinks on tap and plenty of sprits to choose from
N. R.
Had the lunch special Cuban. $16 for a burger, fries and a schooey, bloody awesome. Had a Strawberry and rhubarb sour pint as well. Great staff, great venue, great price. Must go!
R. G.
Social chess is on here every Saturday 11 am. Great music, beers, OK food, free billiards and pinball machine. Happy hours. Top marks all round.
B. G.
Best pub ever! Been going here for decades and always happy with food and service.. Great atmosphere and music.. A proper pub! Anytime I've seen a live event in Brisbane this is the place to start.. Warm in the afternoon before you head off for the main event..
M. D.
This is my 'go to' place before heading to the footy. Food servings are generous and service great.
F. Z.
A great place to meet with friends, beers are cheap and food is delicious, but that white lady at the counter, you might need to be polite and careful to customers, I don’t want to link my uncomfortable experience with racism, so I assume you are not in a happy mood
I. H.
Friendly bar staff to banter with and a great looking venue with a fun vibe and cool decor. They make great chips and a good parma but don't order the the chicken salad - way too processed and fake tasting chicken
D. E.
Good pub. Guinness at least on tap👍Staff great
A. B.
The Empire Hotel is a nice time. The atmosphere is a blend of classic and edgy. They have these beautiful big booth style seats, so it's perfect for big groups. (It's a great spot if you have to pick a place for an office lunch).
The food quality is pretty much what you'd expect from a pub. Since the price is so reasonable, you feel like you got what you paid for. They have specials for each day and a $10 burger special every day. That's hard to beat.
It's beautifully air-conditioned, usually they have some sport on the TV and they play old school music. What's not to like?
A. Z.
Lovely classic old pub with great staff 😀
B.
awesome staff great drinks, nice easy chat with the bartender
G. L.
Great little place with a few pool tables!! One of the very few in the valley. Also has a decent happy (two) hour most days. Friendly staff
M. H.
Have been several times and it's always been great! Staff are a amazing, selection of scotch is to die for. The band playing on the night was not the best they've ever had but could have just been a rough night
S. J.
Lovely service, delicious cocktails and a pretty bloody good parma! The chips were AMAZING!
F. S.
Alright it has a great atmosphere, energy, and drinks but 10 times outta 10 the thick and rich gravy is watery and tastes terrible
L. O. (. W.
Has a great $10 burgers/sandwiches and chips deal ($15 with one of the tap ales on Friday) that's worth checking out. Food comes out very quickly, and in large portions, and their beer-battered chips are cooked to my liking. At night, an okay bar for having out and listening to music, fairly busy
F. S.
Great hospo specials and bartenders are mostly great people!
S. B.
Pretty tidy little venue for a beer. Staff know their stuff and can recommend something to suit your tastes. Haven't eaten there in a while so I have no idea about the food. Decent playlist from memory as well.
O. J.
Was alright, but as of currently no dancing and the pool table is off limits. Booths are pretty good tho and drinks were nice. Security guy is chill and staff were nice enough
S. O.
Great atmosphere. Fantastic music. Awesome drinks. Would recommend.
M. D.
Good range of beer and awesome food at the right price.
I. “. T.
We were delighted to see their imported tap beer options. Having ice cold beer and playing pool were a nice start on Friday night.
D. M.
Great service great drinks No live music or live bands only a DJ. I think bands or an act before the DJ would be great.
A. T.
Really lovely venue which is quirky and comforting. Came to watch the live music as recommended by a friend. However the bloke with long hair who seemed to be doing the sound check for the band's was extremely rude and ignorant when asked questions about what bands were playing. The emcee was great and made us feel so welcome, he was fantastic, even recommended the espresso martini on offer which was amazing. The girl behind the bar was nice but extremely stand offish when asked questions about drinks deals. The food was fantastic (the rottisorie chicken was to die for) , would come again just for this and the emcee (I think his name was locky)
j. s.
They've managed to do social distancing quite well without ruining the vibe too much. Emptier than usual of course but the staff were great and everyone seemed on board with trying to make sure it was as easy as possible for everyone to run a business and have a good night out.
S. W.
Once a week we play chess here during the day, a small club catch up. I've only been here at lunch time and it's really quite lovely. Friendly and personable staff, good food menu and beer range, very good prices. Plenty of spaces for groups to do their own thing.
A. B. L.
The Empire is a fantastic venue that offers the perfect mix between great service, tasty food and excellent value. Special thanks to Manager Paul for allowing our group to play chess here every Saturday. Also, thanks to super bartender Bridget who always makes us feel welcome and at home. Pork burgers are delish...!! 😋
K. E. (.
Nice vibe here most nights. Plenty of food and drink options. Great spot for a group of friends. (& They have pool tables!)
M. R.
Really love this pub. Pub is really not a good enough word for The Empire - after a few incarnations during my last 15 or-so years in Brisbane it never disappoints.
Popped in the other day 'cause I was really 'over' my normal hangouts. The Empire has always been a fave spot when i'm on that side of the Brunswick street mall.
As happy as I had been before now to enjoy it, I was super impressed with the latest reno (which may not have been so recent - it's been a while since I've checked it out).
Lots of timber, good outdoor seating for smokers. Nice long bar staffed by pleasant, attentive girls and guys.
But the kicker (or two) was the stage/platform set up for live music. For that reason alone I'm gonna keep an eye on the gig guides. The other - stools that sit nicely on the floor. Not unbalanced like a drunken rocking horse !! Then it occurred to me that I shouldn't have expected any less from a venue that has pleasing it's customer as a motivator.
Check it out.
m. e.
Great food and customer service.
A. B.
Good pub, pool table is free, which is always a great thing. Security is top notch, very quick to remove drunkens without even having to say anything to them.

From the marble bar to the unique chandeliers illuminating the front bar, this is one special place in the Valley. Friendly staff too.
C. W.
$10 meals including a house wine and .... BoganBingo, can''t go wrong. Few drinks and a fun night.
R. D.
Visited this establishment one fine Friday and was entertained by two wonderful gentlemen, the most amazing chaps. Some Grizzled Adams or some such. Delightful prose, masterful control of the musical ambiance.
S. M.
I liked the bar and the internal spacings and all.
J. B.
Tuesday R&B Jam has a killing great band.
Food is inconsistent (v. good fries; overcooked puck of a burger); good beer selection; cool decor.
T. M.
Cozy venue with a great range of drinks and upbeat staff. Great for a relaxed whisky on a cold night. Highly recommended.
G. W.
We came on a quiet night, Sunday. Loved it because it was quiet, so we could talk. Their pub schnitty with Caesar salad was perfect! Good selection of beers on tap.
S. B.
Fun nights out here and kareoke on Sundays.
E. G.
Best Burgers! Pirate Life on tap too. A nice chilled atmosphere for family and solos alike. will be returning.
T. S.
Super reliable bar with good food and live music. You will definitely enjoy a drink or two here.

Awesome bar service and place was clean and funky. Friendly atmosphere 💜

Salsa Saturday night is just tops! Great atmosphere with all the things that make it feel better than what you would expect from a pub. Five stars all the way!
S. M.
Great pub, legendary staff and good deals on food during the week. Highly recommend the steak sandwich.
A. T.
I was in for lunch in the middle of the week, so a typically slow day, had the kale salad with chicken, and it was fantastic, staff was friendly, good pub lunch in the valley.
C. P.
Bar staff was a bit rude and unpleasant, maybe she was having a bad day. Tap beer selection was average
L. O. (. W.
