Embassy Hotel

Established in 1928 and renovated in 2013, Embassy Hotel is a long-running Brisbane venue with a strong focus on beer, bar dining and social occasions. Located in Kangaroo Point, it combines the character of an established hotel with a more recently refreshed look, making it suited to a casual drink, a meal or a larger gathering.

Beer is central to the venue. Embassy Hotel says it has a selection of more than 100 beers, including 16 craft beers on tap, with five taps rotating weekly. That gives beer drinkers plenty of scope to try something different on repeat visits. The drinks offering also includes wine, spirits and a dedicated high-end cocktails menu, so the venue is not limited to one style of drink.

The food is described as modern American pub cuisine, with a broader gastro-pub menu available for bar and dining customers. The website does not list individual dishes, but the offering is positioned as a substantial option alongside the drinks rather than a purely bar-focused experience. It should suit solo visitors or pairs looking for a drink and a feed, as well as groups meeting for after-work drinks, birthdays, meetings or other celebrations.

For larger occasions, the hotel offers function spaces with special food and drink menus tailored to different events. There is also a VIP Gaming Lounge on the ground floor, with up to 40 Keno machines and free membership. That makes Embassy Hotel a varied option for adults wanting craft beer, cocktails, pub-style dining or a venue for a group occasion in Brisbane.
