Play Pokies at The Qa Hotel

Last night after work we went the QA for a quick bite to eat. Historically, as a (now) non-drinker a pub isn't my go to, but I was too tired to think of anywhere else.

We parked in the carpark accessed via the side street and entered through the SAGE hotel lifts, through the main doors and it seemed like the whole of Brisbane was there... undeterred by the grand final vibe we easily found a seat in the restaurant area and ordered via the app.

Note: V doesn't mean vegetarian for the chicken pasta dish but we move on...

Drinks are only available from the bar (not the app) which is good considering the vibe. The bar staff were lovely, no lines and delivered the drinks quickly.

We ordered the food via the app and before we could get a quarter way through the drink our pasta, pizza and veggie burger arrived.

The prawn, chorizo and chilli pasta was OUTSTANDING, not your normal pub food, who ever created this delicious dish deserves a medal 🥇. Would have loved to see no tails on the prawns in red pasta sauce (I'm not a eat food with my hands guy or skilled enough to use a knife to pry out the last bit of a delicious prawn) but overall, the meal of the month. Bravo

The veggie burger was a burger, great bun, the patty didn't set the world on fire or bring offence.

Delicious mushroom (fungi) pizza was also delicious.

I think you can clearly see the winner in this trio ??'?

Such a good local! Beers are fresh and it's a great atmosphere. Special shout out to Ginny! Great service and always has a smile on her face 😁

The food and service is absolutely amazing would definitely highly recommended this place to family friends

I had my daughters 18th on Saturday December 30. I cannot rave about the venue and the staff enough. We had our own VIP area which was fantastic. The platters were sensational, drinks well priced and the staff were sensational. A special mention to Stephen the Events Manager. He was attentive to everything we required. Excellent communication and made my daughter's evening very special. Isaac the bar attendant was excellent also. Even down to the security on the door. I would honestly recommend this establishment and I have already recommended to friends to go and have a drink. Thanks team for having us. Sincerely Kerry.

QA hotel is a great pub on James street with a huge space, multiple areas and bars, inside and outside dining, large screens with live sport, gaming, live music and a decent menu. Food has always fallen short for me here, it's not a bad pub feed, just a lot of room for improvement.
