First time I had the Home-made crubsteak before the Broncos Game at Suncorp Stadium and had to go back again!

The Berryman where playing until midnight and it was definitely a great time.

Food and drinks have been amazing.

I visited the Transcontinental Hotel on the night of the Broncos v Dolphins game for the first time and loved my time there!

The customer service was exceptional and the food was delicious. In addition, there is a variety of food and drinks to cater to all needs and the cost of the meals are very reasonably priced.

Despite how busy the place was due to local derby, I was served promptly with smiles and great attitude. I'd like to mention Saul, who had phenomenal customer service, time management and great multi-tasking skills. He always ensured that all of our needs we met and exceeded our expectations of a great time!

I would highly recommend visiting the Transcontinental Hotel to everybody!

Great venue, not a great range of menu options but the food was excellent. Great value, and the sort of service to keep you feeling warm happy and wanting to return. We both had the pork belly, awesome. The desert was ample to share between two, and I can't believe only $6.

I walked in, beautiful atmosphere straight up, lovely and warm. While being cooling. I went to the bar and was greeted by a lovely man and my service was relaxed yet professional and the drinks where fantastic and nice and cold. 5/5 loved it.

Do yourself a favour and have your wedding reception at the Transcontinental!!!
Ash and her team go above and beyond, are so friendly and professional. Communication was perfect. They made our whole day just work out so well. The upstairs space is huge and a perfect blank canvas for you to add your style for your day.
We had 55 people at our reception and it was cosy but still even space for everyone to move around and most importantly dance!
Food was amazing, high quality and all our guests raved about it afterwards. Most importantly though, it was affordable and well worth every penny. You honestly won't regret having your reception here!

Food was delivered quickly, delicious meals that our group really enjoyed. The restaurant was quite noisy but that is hard to control. Our table of 6, No. 33 was a little too close to the table beside us. All in all a very nice place to meet and eat, Thanks.

We are beyond thrilled with our experience at The Transcontinental Hotel for our wedding reception! From start to finish, the team, led by Ash and Gabby, went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable.

Ash, our coordinator during the preparation phase, was an absolute gem. Her expertise, attention to detail, and constant communication kept us at ease throughout the planning process. She made sure we were always informed and involved, and her friendly demeanor made working with her a joy.

On the day of our reception, Gabby took the reins and orchestrated an evening that surpassed all our expectations. She not only ensured that everything ran smoothly but also went the extra mile to make sure we, and our guests, were having an incredible time. From making sure I had my favorite strawberries to checking in on everyone, Gabby's dedication and care were evident throughout the night.

The venue itself was stunning, and the staff's professionalism and commitment to excellence shone through every aspect of our event. We received countless compliments from our guests about the beautiful ambiance, delicious food, and impeccable service.

We cannot recommend The Transcontinental Hotel and its amazing team enough. Ash and Gabby, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding reception an absolute dream come true.

Warmest regards,
Laura and James

The food portion size is very generous here. Had the schnitzel with gravy on the lunch special board, which cost $20. There were two big pieces of crumbed chicken. This was served with lettuce (wish there were tomatoes and other ingredients added to make it more like a garden or greek salad) and some pub style thick chips. It was much too big for me to eat alone. I wish they made the portion size smaller and lowered the price. If I went there again, I would share a meal or opt for a entree. The softdrink from the bar must have been $4 approx, which I think is a bit excessive given it wasn't from a can/bottle. Service was friendly and the food came out very quickly despite being in a large group. Would recommend the Trans Hotel if you want a place to eat out during your work lunch.

My husband and I are in Brisbane for business and chose to eat at the Transcontinental Hotel where we have had a couple of lovely meals before. We both chose the Reef and Beef meal from the specials board and were very disappointed. All that came on the plate was the eye fillet with large fried calamari rings on the steak and roughly 12 halved fried potatoes, instead of baked, and no salad or side vegetables. Plates weren't cleared after an hour - not acceptable. Spoke to a couple of staff but they weren't interested. There were 3 in the kitchen and we were the only diners in the restaurant area.

We were heading to Suncorp for the game.
Just happened to look across the road and saw this old colonial looking building that didn't seem to fit but did fit the neighbour and said we should eat here and not Caxton Street.

I'm so glad we did!! The moment we walked in, staff were really welcoming and served us really quickly.

I look forward to returning on a lazy Saturday arvo eats and drinks.

Thoroughly impressed by the old colonial looking building that didn't fit but does fit in the neighbourhood.

We recently had our wedding on their Platform level. Everything was so well organised, the space was perfect and Ashley did such a brilliant job coordinating every single detail right from the start. Our guests had a great time and especially loved the dinner service! Would definitely recommend their function space if you're looking for a rustic, almost moody space with a great location and amazing vibes!

Great service from the barman, suggested specials and removed ingredients on a dish as requested. Food came out really fast for lunchtime rush 😋
Steak and calamari cooked to perfection.

This establishment has been here a long time. Good to see they have cleaned it up.

Attended here on a Monday night with 10 people for dinner. Bar service was good and prompt. As was the table service. Food was ok. Steak was a bit tough and a bit overdone for a medium rare. Portions were decent.

Beautiful pub opposite Roma Street Station for easy transport! Gaming, drinks and great food, though a little pricey!
Service is second to none, particularly by a young man named Saul.

I recently had my 21st in the craft bar and it was a really nice venue. Bigger than I expected and the staff were so accommodating and helpful with getting everything set up how I wanted it. Ashley was really helpful in organising the event and working out food and drinks for the night. The bar staff on the night were also super friendly and communicated everything super well to us. Really good experience here 😊

The food and staff are equally amazing. I had a wonderful experience. I'm currently in a wheelchair and they were more than accommodating with me. The pokies also seem to pay well. Overall I was definitely impressed and will be going back.

Had a lovely experience for my 21st at the Transcontinental hotel. The staff were awesome and the food was delicious! Everyone I've talked to after the night said the venue was perfect and shared the same opinion on staff and food. Also, when the night was being organised Ashley helped us out tonnes and made it really easy. Thank you guys heaps, definitely recommend!

Beautiful wedding venue, the perfect size for a smaller wedding. Ash was so wonderful to work with, her communication was quick and clear, she answered our million questions leading up to our viewing. After the viewing she was quick to get the proposal to us, and didn't put pressure on us to decided on the spot. The quote was reasonable and, we would have gone ahead with our wedding at the Trans, but unfortunately our guest list exploded. I would have 100% trusted Ashley to ensure our wedding was perfect.

Really decent experience. It is a renovated pub in the center of Brisbane. Inside is rely nice and it is pretty central to alot of hotels. 🏢🏢🏢There is also a parking lots ($7 all night) just in the next street. ???-
The food was delish & plentiful. ???-🌯🍟???"😍Probably the only thing I could comment was on the staff-she made a mistake and charged extra, then refunded too much, so had to take back some money. Apart from that-the evening itself was really nice!!!!

Nice bar, great range of beer. Scotch shelf is very good. Craft beer taps are always worth a look. Always a good bottle of bubbles at a good price. Food is best to be found elsewhere. May have been a bad night. The most expensive steak was not good. Thin, tough, with raw fat. Swimming in microwave gravy with a splash of supermarket mashed potatoes.

I certainly wouldn't recommend this place for a function. Unless you want a venue where the staff ignore half your guests. Terrible service from the function room bar staff. Honestly you'd think they weren't getting paid for their time. Guests are made to feel like an inconvenience more than anything else. The building is gorgeous but the people inside are certainly less than welcoming.EDIT AFTER RESPONSE FROM TRANS HOTEL: An FYI to other reviewers this business somehow deems it appropriate to to contact reviewers employers in response to less than positive reviews. I'm what is happening at the Trans Hotels but this is something consider before visiting.

A comfortable place to grab a beer, with good pub food. Great atmosphere. Just one suggestion. Perhaps include the chance to buy a coffee after lunch. We had to walk down the street.

Generally a nice venue, good selection of drink and food options. The biggest negative is the bar staff not assessing and understanding the demographic of their clientele. Friends and work colleagues often like to head down for a few after work drinks in a Friday afternoon from 3.30pm onwards before heading home. On every occasion, without fail, the music is so loud, its deafening. Cant have a conversation without screaming. Given the time of day, mid to late afternoon, when you want to have a drink and talk after a busy week, the volume of the music is misplaced. When the bar staff and manager are asked if it would be possible to have the music turned down, the response is theres seating out the back, in a curt and abrupt response. While there is seating out the back, the area is often already at capacity. The clientele on a Friday afternoon, are predominately office workers, there to unwind after a hectic week. The staff, including the bar manager, are young and dont appear to read the crowd at that time of day nor do they seem to care. The level of music appears to be more for the enjoyment of the bar staff rather than for the clientele. Unfortunate really.

This review is based on me having a steak special. Salad was passable. A singular cherry tomato sliced in half and a cos lettuce quartered (still in quartered shape) drizzled with some dressing. Saving grace was the steak which was cooked medium rare as ordered. Mushroom gravy was mid range and chips were mid range too. Service was good and facilities are kept clean and presentable
