About these results
The Australian pub is a social institution — somewhere to catch the footy, settle in for a counter meal or while away a sunny afternoon in the beer garden. These are Brisbane's most-loved locals and historic watering holes.
Listings are compiled from each venue's own published information and Google Places data, and ordered by Spot Score — a composite of attributed ratings, review volume, category fit and information freshness, not a firsthand review. Hours-based filters use published opening hours, which are not kitchen or last-order times. Sponsored placements are labelled and never counted in results. Spotted an error? Send a correction.

What are the best pubs in Brisbane?+
The pubs on this page are ordered by Spot Score, which combines attributed Google ratings, review volume, category fit and how recently the details were re-checked against their sources. The highest scorers appear first.
How is the Brisbane pubs ranking decided?+
We blend independent signals — Google star ratings and review counts, popularity, the completeness of available information and freshness — into a single Spot Score out of 100. It is a composite of those signals, not a firsthand review, and it cannot be bought.
Can I filter pubs by suburb or price?+
Yes. Use the filters to narrow by suburb, minimum Google rating, price level, whether a place is open now according to its published hours, and features such as dog-friendly or outdoor seating. A filter only matches venues whose details state that feature.
How many pubs are listed in Brisbane?+
We currently list 30 pubs across Brisbane and surrounding suburbs. Venues are added over time and details are re-checked against their published sources; please confirm hours with the venue before you go.
