Camp Hill Hotel

Camp Hill Hotel is a broad pub destination listed in Manly, Brisbane, combining dining, drinks, live sport, functions and accommodation under one roof. Its main dining space, the Observatory Bistro, is designed for family lunches, catch-ups with friends and more intimate evenings. The kitchen’s offering includes fresh seafood, steaks, pastas, salads and familiar pub classics, with the menu also featuring plates to share, traditional pub meals and Graziers steaks ranging from 250g to 450g.

The Observatory Bistro sits at the back of the hotel and looks across Carina, with views extending towards the Gateway Bridge. Families are particularly well catered for, with a jungle-themed kids’ room that includes a movie theatre, a large interactive projector and bean bags. For a more casual visit, the Backyard Bar has lounge seating, large TV screens, TAB facilities and a drinks list covering beer, wine, cider and spirits. The bar also provides an easy spot for a drink after work or a game with friends.

Sport is a major part of the venue. The Sports Lounge has three large projector screens running at once, with live sports shown alongside convenient access to the Observatory Bar. The hotel also promotes itself as a UFC venue, showing bouts on the big screen. Those after a quieter drink can settle into the refurbished Cocktail Lounge, styled around a Great Gatsby theme and positioned near the Sports Lounge, bistro and gaming room. The Observatory Bar offers another place to sit with a wine or beer.

The venue describes itself as having a long-standing connection with the Camp Hill community, while the Observatory name references local history. Its function spaces can be tailored for birthdays, engagements, milestones and other celebrations, with catering options available through the events team. For visitors needing somewhere to stay, the hotel has 19 recently renovated Nightcap rooms with televisions, free WiFi, air conditioning, and tea and coffee facilities. That mix makes it suited to families, sports followers, groups planning a function and travellers wanting dining and accommodation in the one place.
