Townsville's historic post office now houses this sociable gastropub, which serves bistro-style meals and boutique beers brewed on-site. The owners have combined modern finishes with the building's original design, incorporating old post-office fittings, such as the main bar, once the stamp counter, to create a venue with character and polish. If you want something more upmarket, it's also home to Restaurant 1889.
Located on the water in the Cruise Liner Terminal, Hemingway's Brewery is in a Heritage-listed building, has a relaxed vibe, and there's plenty of room for families or groups to spread out. Enjoy Trinity Inlet views over one of the eight in-house beers on tap. There is also a classic food menu featuring local produce served in burgers and salads, or on pizzas, for those who want something to pair with their pale ale. It's a fun venue with lovely views and good beers. It also offers brewery tours once a month on a Saturday.
