South East Queensland is famous for its laid-back charm, balmy weather, and an ever-growing list of must-visit beer gardens. Whether you’re soaking up riverside breezes in Brisbane or heading coastal to the Gold Coast or Bribie Island, a great beer garden is always within reach. In Brisbane, one local gem that’s recently stepped up its game is the Newnham Hotel.

Located at 516 Newnham Road in Upper Mount Gravatt, Newnham Hotel opened its brand-new beer garden in February following a major refurbishment—and it quickly became a favourite with locals.
Spacious and fully covered, the revamped outdoor area now features stylish new furniture, upgraded AV and lighting systems, and a welcoming new deck that invites you to settle in and stay awhile.
From classic pub favourites to modern dishes and generous share plates designed to bring people together, the menu offers something for everyone. Pair your meal with an ice-cold beer, a signature cocktail or a carefully curated wine, all served in a vibrant and relaxed setting. Whether you’re dining in the bistro, soaking up the sun in the beer garden, or catching the game in the sports bar, every visit feels like a treat.
Newnham Hotel has also become a top destination for families. A brand-new kids’ playground provides plenty of fun for little ones, while a dedicated kids’ menu makes sure no one misses out at mealtime.
Make Saturdays and Sundays unforgettable with free kids’ entertainment from 11 am every weekend—including face painting, balloon twisting and rotating activities to keep them smiling while you unwind.

If you’re after a bit of live music, Friday evenings at Newnham bring just the right energy with local artists performing in the beer garden to help you ease into the weekend.
Whether it’s a casual midweek dinner, a weekend family outing, or a relaxed catch-up with mates, Newnham Hotel’s revitalised beer garden is the perfect spot to gather, graze and make the most of Queensland’s outdoor lifestyle.
