REDBRICK HOTEL - Woolloongabba | Pub / Hotel

The hotel was first built in 1890 for Thomas Burke, Burke remained the owner and proprietor of the hotel until 1899 before selling it. It has since had a number of owners but in the 1980s was named ‘Burke’s Hotel’ in his honour. The hotel retains a fair amount of its original architecture, substantially intact for a nineteenth century hotel. Burke’s Hotel was later known as the Redbrick, not because of the hotel’s exterior, but the red 10 pound notes – known as ‘bricks’ – that were used by the bookies when settling bets in the public bar. Alongside classic Federation-era style architecture, the Redbrick boasts a reinvigorated Australian seafood inspired “The Fat Crab”restaurant featuring locally sourced seafood Daily,an intimate bar, stylish function rooms on the first floor, plus a state of the art gaming lounge with 30 EGMs.
