The Montague Hotel and Zephyr Bar

The Montague Hotel and Zephyr Bar is a family-owned local venue on Montague Road in West End, Brisbane, known locally as The Monty. The hotel combines a restaurant, bar, decks, sports bar and gaming room, giving visitors several ways to spend time at the venue rather than a single pub format. It also operates three bottle shops.

Upstairs, Zephyr Bar offers a separate experience from the hotel below. Its offering includes handmade cocktails, a share-food menu, a distinctive fit-out and a roof that opens to the sky. This makes it a useful option for drinks and shared dining, while the broader hotel provides a more traditional pub setting with a wide selection of beverages and wine.

Sport is a major part of the venue’s identity, with the sports bar screening live sporting events. The venue also promotes live music, adding to its role as an entertainment spot for West End locals and visitors. With its mix of bar areas, decks, dining and sport, it is suited to groups meeting for food or drinks, mates watching a game and residents looking for a nearby local.

The venue’s community focus is reflected in its support for local artists, including a large interior mural by street artist Stewart Shuker. Together with the family-owned background and location at the corner of Montague Road and Kurilpa Street, this gives the hotel a clear connection to West End. The Montague Hotel and Zephyr Bar has a 4.1 Google rating from 1,093 reviews.
