Deery's Restaurant | steak + wine

Deery’s Restaurant | steak + wine is an upmarket steakhouse in Kangaroo Point, beneath Brisbane’s Story Bridge. The restaurant has been serving steak, wine and fine dining since 1994, and the venue describes itself as a destination for steak and wine lovers. Its Google rating is 4.8 from 266 reviews, while the restaurant also presents itself as award-winning.

The focus is on carefully sourced produce and premium beef. The kitchen’s listed steaks include a 200g John Dee eye fillet, a lean Queensland black Angus cut that is grain-fed for more than 150 days, and a 350g Pure Prime rib fillet, using 180-day grain-fed Queensland black Angus. A dry-aged steak special is prepared in-house when available, giving regulars another reason to check what is being offered. The restaurant’s approach is to pair quality steak with a considered wine selection, drawing on fresh ingredients sourced from local farms.

There is a strong sense of history behind the room. Richard Deery writes that he grew up around the Story Bridge Hotel, which his father bought when he was a child, before opening Deery’s with his sister Jane in 1994. He describes the restaurant as an extension of the family home: a fine-dining setting intended to feel welcoming rather than remote. The restaurant sits within the broader heritage-listed Story Bridge Hotel, an established Kangaroo Point venue with a community-focused identity.

For a more private meal or event, Deery’s Alcove is an intimate space with original brickwork, glass walls and wooden shutters, seating up to 30 guests. Deery’s Lounge extends the restaurant for private sit-down events of 20 to 90 guests, with full bar facilities. These spaces make the restaurant a natural choice for special occasions, celebratory dinners and corporate gatherings, while the main dining room suits a slower steak-and-wine meal for couples or small groups. Bookings are available through the venue.
