Empire Hotel

Empire Hotel is a Fortitude Valley pub set inside a heritage Valley landmark at the corner of Brunswick and Ann streets. It positions itself as a local spot for lunch, dinner, drinks and entertainment, with quality pub fare, a beer list and a bar atmosphere that carries on late.

There is plenty to do beyond eating and drinking. The venue features pool tables, tunes and live entertainment throughout the week, including appearances from DJ Chancy. Its What's On programme also promises a daily mix of games, music and midweek favourites, giving the space a lively, social feel rather than a quiet dining-room setting.

Food is available seven days, with lunch and dinner service across the week. The website lists an $18 daily lunch deal from 11.30am to 3pm, Monday to Sunday, as well as O'DO Pizzeria, which focuses on dough, tomato-based sauce and toppings cooked with a straightforward approach. Walk-ins are welcome and no booking is required, while booth bookings and function enquiries are available for celebrations and group occasions.

The hotel is open seven days from 11am until late. Food is served from 11.30am to 3pm and 5pm to 9pm Monday to Thursday, and continuously from 11.30am to 9pm Friday to Sunday. With its entertainment, pool tables and flexible walk-in setup, Empire suits groups looking for a casual Valley night out, as well as anyone dropping in for a meal, drink or game.
