The pub? Coming soon…
Townsville, your local icon is coming home.
After 18 months of loving restoration, we’re almost ready to welcome you back to Hotel Allen – a reimagined North Queensland legend that’s been part of the city’s story since 1876.
Steeped in history and refreshed for today, the Allen brings together fun, familiarity, and that unmistakable tropical charm locals know and love. Same heart. Fresh energy. A new chapter for a true Townsville icon.
This is a retro-inspired North Queensland pub at its best – where old-school character meets modern comfort. The vibe is familiar, the welcome is warm, and the good times come easy.
Rooted in history and built for the good times ahead, Hotel Allen is almost back – refreshed, familiar, and ready to welcome a new generation of locals and visitors.

No fuss. No fluff. Just a bloody good prize at a bloody good pub.
Classic Aussie pub food, done properly.
The Bistro is all about the classics – honest, hearty pub meals made to be enjoyed with a cold beer and good company. Think parmas, steaks, seafood, and the kind of comfort food every local knows and loves.
There’s a very light nostalgic nod throughout the menu, keeping things fun and familiar, but always grounded in what a great pub does best: generous plates, quality ingredients, and food that brings people together.
Simple. Familiar. Bloody good pub food.
Cold beers. Big screens. Electric energy.
This is where Townsville comes to cheer. The Sports Bar delivers ice-cold beers, live sport, and the kind of atmosphere only a proper local pub can create.
Whether you’re at the stadium cheering on the lads, or in the bar watching the game together, this is where the town unites – especially when the Cowboys are running out. Same colours. Same chants. Same local pride.
Footy, cricket, racing or a midweek game – it’s loud when it needs to be, relaxed when it doesn’t, and always ready for a good night out with mates.
Out back is the heart of Hotel Allen – and it’s made for everyone.
This is a true North Queensland beer garden: sunny, social, and built for long afternoons that turn into laidback nights. A space where mates catch up, locals settle in, and families genuinely feel welcome.
At the centre of it all is our epic kids playground – giving parents space to relax, chat, and enjoy a cold drink while the kids play, climb, and burn off some energy. Add in the relaxed tropical atmosphere, and you’ve got a space where the whole family can actually enjoy their time out together.
It’s the kind of place where birthdays happen, weekends disappear, and memories are made – a backyard-style beer garden where everyone belongs.
The Allen beer garden is built for the North Queensland way of life.
Familiar comfort. Fresh new feel.
The gaming room blends local familiarity with a modern refresh – new machines, a clean contemporary look, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that feels easy the moment you walk in.
Designed as part of the broader Hotel Allen experience, it’s comfortable, social, and unmistakably local. A space that feels familiar, but better – refreshed, modern, and built for easy enjoyment
