The Normanby Hotel - Red Hill, Queensland

Visiting Brisbane this was the closest pub to our digs
Looks like it's had a lot of money put into it and pretty swish but welcoming design
We sat in beer garden which was spacious and shade
Can order QR or at bar
Good selection on tap of all types of booze
Staff all lovely and engaging
Sadly my main meal wasn't great being oily and couldn't taste the love however entree cauliflower popcorn delicious
The near by freeway isn't great
But the dog friendly policy is

Beers are a bit on the expensive side but the food is amazing. I had the beef burger and it was outstanding. One complaint is charging $1 for a side of tomato sauce. That's criminal

Fantastic Experience at The Normanby Hotel!

My partner and I just recently moved in the area and visited The Normanby Hotel, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with the perfect mix of modern elegance and cozy charm.

A special shotout to Issy for making our visit truly exceptional! Her service was outstanding—warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. You can’t help but feel uplifted by her beautiful and welcoming smile. The rest of the team was equally helpful and hospitable, creating a wonderful atmosphere. Kudos to the management for maintaining such high standards. Keep up the fantastic work!

The food was absolutely divine! Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. From the starters to the desserts, everything tasted fresh and cooked with pride.

The atmosphere was vibrant yet relaxed, making it an ideal spot for both casual dining and special occasions.

Awesome pub, hosted about 200 of us Springbok supporters before the game. The food was great, with plenty of variety with drinks. We'll definitely organise our gathering here next time. Really well managed 👏 thank you, Normanby!!!

Hired out the Valentine Room for a birthday function. The space was great and I would consider using the Normanby again. There were a few hiccups; and some items I think the venue could work on though.

Pros/Highlights:
*The space was the perfect size for 40 guests. And with the right amount of decorations, it really is a wonderful spot.
*The food was delicious. Guests raved about how much they enjoyed the sliders and pizzas.
*Our barmaid was nothing short of amazing. Not only was she accommodating and efficient, she put up with everyone’s shenanigans with a smile on her face.

Cons/Feedback:
*I arrived at the venue at midday to set up as instructed, and the space had not been properly cleaned. The tables were all dirty, there was some rubbish left in the room, and I even had to pick up a dead cockroach. The floors are in dire need of an actual mop too.
*While the food was delicious, there were some dramas with sticking to the order of the food delivery and the timing. Staff did rectify this when requested though.
*There wasn’t really any support from the function team at the beginning of the event. Arrived early to ensure a smooth start before guests arrived, but it took 40 minutes to get the music going and we weren’t given a mic as requested.
*The birthday cake was brought up, and placed right in front of the birthday person; so I then had to set up the cake and light the candles in front of them (not exactly ideal)…I was also only given a knife and some napkins. Luckily I had the foresight to bring some disposable plates, but this was not instructed to me by the function team.
*Overall, the function team do need to improve their communication. I would suggest a checklist to give to the function host that details what is and isn’t included as far as what the venue does, what the host should do in advance, and what extras the host needs to bring themselves. I would also recommend a compulsory meeting (via phone or in person) so these types of things can be discussed/prepared for, as well as a call a week before the event to recap.

All in all, it was a great night, and I do recommend considering the Normanby for your function.

We drink here every other weekend. The venue itself is stunning. The staff are even better. A massive thank you to Matt, who so graciously stopped his work on a busy Saturday to go look for my phone because the idiot that I am left it on a toilet dispenser. He found it, and let me know instantly. I'm typing this review on said phone with new found relief because I cannot justify just how much of a pain in the ass it is to deal with losing a phone. So thank you Matt. And thank you the Normanby for being a lovely venue.

We attended a work lunch function held indoors, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was delicious, promptly served, and offered great value for money. The service was outstanding, with friendly and attentive staff. The atmosphere was delightful, providing the perfect balance of a comfortable space for conversation and enjoyable background music.
