Grand View Hotel

One of Queensland’s oldest licensed pubs, the Grand View Hotel began life as a single storeyed structure in 1852 and today is one of Cleveland’s oldest surviving buildings, has just reopened after a multi-million dollar makeover.

Long gone are the bathing house and nearby jetty and much of the original character however the year-long refurbishment has included the preservation of its heritage-listed hallway and Cleveland Room, as well as the uncovering of a 170 year old well, dating from 1855.

The revamped Grand View Hotel features a host of updated bar spaces and amenities including a stunning new-look pavilion style eatery and beer garden, which enjoys views across Moreton Bay to  Minjerribah-North Stradbroke Island.

A range of seating is available on the grass overlooking the bay, along with a big screen for live sports, while a purpose-built self-contained function space out the back features seating for around 120 guests, complete with its own bar and restrooms.

The kitchen is equipped with Australia’s largest rotisserie oven, a Josper rotisserie grill, and an Italian Rotary Pizza Oven, serving up fresh rotisserie dishes, pizzas, pub favourites, pasta, and share plates.

On the menu you'll find smaller share plates like pork belly bao, chicken & corn gyoza and lamb nachos; and salads such as grilled salmon or Asian duck noodle.
