Stones Corner Hotel

Stones Corner Hotel is a heritage pub established in 1888, with the website describing it as a renovated landmark that combines its older character with a more contemporary interior. The venue is listed in Manly, Brisbane, while its own site identifies the hotel with Stones Corner. Inside, guests can choose between a lounge overlooking modern art and an outdoor seat beneath a jacaranda tree, giving the pub more than one setting for a meal or drink.

The cafe and bistro serves lunch and dinner every day, with lunch available from 11am to 3pm. Its evening menu includes share plates, burgers, salads, pub meals, pastas and premium Graziers steaks. The bar has 16 beers on tap, along with wine, spirits and cocktails, making it suitable for a straightforward meal, after-work drinks or a longer catch-up with friends. The website also specifically positions the venue as a place for a romantic date, coffee, celebrations and casual visits.

For a livelier experience, The James Stone Bar is set up around two pool tables, four plasma screens and an outdoor courtyard. Its modern steel design, sound system and sports broadcasts make it the hotel's entertainment-focused space, while weekends bring live performances from cover bands. That mix gives the venue options for watching major sporting events, meeting friends or settling in for music rather than a quiet dining experience.

Functions are another focus, with the hotel able to cater for groups of up to 200 people. The website mentions work functions, birthday parties, sports team gatherings and other special events, so it can suit both informal group occasions and larger celebrations. Access is supported by nearby Buranda train and busway stations, buses, a taxi rank, bike racks and on-site parking, according to the venue's site.
