❤️ A little Brisbane history. A whole lot of memories.

There’s something pretty special about bringing people together in the heart of South Bank.

From sunny afternoons in the b**r garden and long lunches with friends to milestone birthdays, weddings, reunions and corporate celebrations.

It’s cold b**rs, beautiful food, shared tables, familiar faces and new connections. It’s the laughter, the speeches, the celebrations and the moments that stay with us.

And upstairs, our beautiful private function space offers the perfect setting for your next occasion, with flexible cocktail and seated dining options, full AV facilities and room for up to 200 guests.

Surrounded by the beautiful South Bank Parklands, just a short walk from the C*D, public transport and nearby parking.

Part of Brisbane’s story since 1865. Now we’d love to be part of yours. ❤️

A little piece of Brisbane history, right in the heart of South Bank.

The Ship Inn has been part of this corner of Brisbane since the 1860s, surviving enormous change around it, including the transformation of South Bank for Expo ’88. Today, it remains one of the precinct’s most recognisable historic pubs.

Step inside and there’s more than meets the eye. Bistro dining and classic pub food downstairs, alfresco tables overlooking the South Bank Parklands, a relaxed b**r garden out the back, indoor dining, and upstairs function spaces and a Queenslander-style verandah catering for everything from corporate events to private celebrations of up to 200 guests.

No pokies. No TAB. Just good food, good drinks, genuine history and one pretty special Brisbane location.

From the farm to the pub.

At The Ship Inn, good food starts with knowing where it comes from.

Our connection to Queensland farming runs generations deep, with a simple philosophy: support great producers, source quality local ingredients and treat them properly.

Family farm. Family-owned pub. Proper Queensland produce.

Come in, check out the latest menu and specials, and taste the difference.

Hope everyone had a great long weekend! There’s plenty of good food to keep the week going at The Ship Inn.

Our chefs always have something worth stopping in for on the specials board, making the most of quality produce from local farms, from pork and lamb to beef.

Try something new or tuck into one of the classic pub favourites on our main menu. Bring your mates, make a lunch date or join us for dinner in the bistro. We’ll take care of the cooking.

Take the team out of the office and into South Bank.

Upstairs at The Ship Inn, our private conference and function space is ready for team training, culture workshops, project planning, presentations and client events.

This classroom setup is just one possibility. With large screens, AV facilities, whiteboards, pens, notepads and mints, we can get your room ready so you can focus on the day ahead.

When it’s time for a break, step onto our beautiful Queenslander verandah for lunch, fresh air and a chance to connect.

From a half day workshop to a full day team offsite, we’ll work with you on catering and drink options to suit your team and budget. Planning something more social? We can configure the space for a private dinner or cocktail function too.

Tell us your date, group size and what you have in mind. We’d love to show you around.

From a family farm near Goondiwindi to your table at The Ship Inn.

Our Gooralie free range pork belly is oven baked and served with roast potatoes, pumpkin, pickled fennel and red w**e jus. And yes, that crackling deserves a close-up.

We’d pair it with a Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio. Your call. 🍷

On the specials menu for $39. Tagging the people behind the pork: Gooralie Free-Range Pork

Take a step back in time at The Ship Inn. 👀

This was South Brisbane in 1985. Stanley Street stretching west past The Ship Inn, long before South Bank became the precinct we know today.

Swipe through and step back even further, before coming full circle to The Ship Inn today.

The streets have changed. The skyline has changed. An entire city has grown around us. But this little piece of Brisbane history is still here.

Next time you’re in South Bank, come in, pull up a chair and enjoy a taste of Brisbane’s history. 🍻

Before it reaches the plate, it starts here.

This is John, owner of The Ship Inn, out on the farm.

Farming runs deep in the family. John was raised on a sheep and cattle property in south-west Queensland, and today that connection to the land continues through Boonara, where livestock is raised with care, patience and a genuine respect for the produce.

A lot of what we do at The Ship Inn comes back to that simple idea: know where your food comes from, support good farming, and let quality produce do the talking.

That farm-to-table connection has become a big part of who we are, from the lamb we’re known for through to the broader protein program across the menu.

Family farm. Family-owned pub. Good produce, handled properly.

And sometimes the story behind the plate starts with a quad bike, a paddock and a very well-worn hat.
