Restaurant & Brass Bar
The Brass Table feeds you from sunrise eggs to a midnight rib-eye, and the Brass Bar keeps pouring while the tables run downstairs. Real kitchen, real cellar, zero pokies in the dining room.
The Brass Table
Four reasons people skip cooking at home
Everything is cooked in-house by a team that's been here since we opened in 2016. No frozen shortcuts, no microwaved excuses — just a menu that knows what it's doing.
Hot Breakfast
Eggs any way, proper bacon, sourdough, barista coffee. Free for hotel guests — the easiest decision you'll make all day.
All-Day Mains
The signature rib-eye and a locally sourced barramundi lead a menu of steaks, salads and comfort classics done right.
Sunday Roast
Slow-roasted beef or lamb, Yorkshire puddings, gravy you could write home about. Book ahead — it sells out most weeks.
Kids Menu
Smaller plates, zero fuss. Families are welcome in the dining room until 20:00 — gaming areas stay strictly 18+.
Chef's pick
The rib-eye that built the reputation
Ask anyone in Inala where to get a steak and they'll point here. Our rib-eye is dry-aged for 28 days, finished over flame, and served with bone-marrow butter and hand-cut chips. The barramundi runs it close — line-caught, pan-roasted, lemon myrtle beurre blanc.
- 28-day dry-aged Queensland beef
- Line-caught barramundi, never farmed-frozen
- Vegetarian and gluten-free mains that aren't an afterthought
Brass Bar
Pours while the tables run
The bar stays open as long as the gaming floor does — last orders at 01:30. Local Queensland wines, a rotating craft beer tap list, and classic cocktails made by people who measure. If you're celebrating a win or softening a loss, this is where it happens.
One house rule worth knowing: there are no pokies in the dining room. Dinner stays dinner.
The rhythm
A day of eating here
Kitchen opens before the sun does much of anything, and the bar is still shaking cocktails when most of Brisbane has gone to bed. Here's how a full day plays out.
Breakfast fires up
Hot buffet and cooked-to-order eggs until 10:30. Free for hotel guests, $24 for walk-ins. Coffee is non-negotiable and very good.
Lunch service begins
The all-day menu kicks in — barramundi, burgers, salads. Quick enough for a work lunch, good enough that you'll stay for a glass of wine.
Dinner rush
Rib-eye time. The dining room fills with hotel guests, locals and the occasional anniversary table. Bookings recommended after 19:00.
Nightcap hour
Kitchen closes, room service ends, and the crowd drifts to the Brass Bar. Cocktails and conversation until last orders at 01:30.
Before you come
The practical bits, sorted
Nothing complicated. Three things people usually ask about, answered straight.
Reservations
Walk-ins are welcome, but Friday and Saturday nights book out fast. Reserve through the contact page or at reception — a human confirms every table.
Dietary needs
Gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, allergies — tell us when you book and the kitchen builds around it. We'd rather know early than improvise at the pass.
Dress code
Smart casual works everywhere. Thongs and singlets are fine at breakfast, less fine at dinner. The private gaming lounge asks for a collar after 18:00.
Staying with us? Room service runs from the same kitchen until 23:00 — order from your room and skip the shoes entirely.
