I attend the pub for all sorts of occasions It’s handy to Suncorp stadium being 300 metres walk down the hill! I get to the annual big red wine tasting night as well as the champagne tasting if I can snag an elusive ticket! The outside terrace provides a great space to relax View all feedback.

This is a large, airy and super comfy place with masses of tables in various different dining areas, inside and outside. We had taken the precaution of booking ahead for a Thursday night, but it wasn’t necessary, as there was plenty of space available. That’s not to say that it was empty though, far from it, there was a decent turnout, but being so big, there’s room for everyone who wants to dine here. The decor is colourful and bright with maritime and sporty themes. There are high tables and bar stools, wooden floors, a large bar counter and ample strong lighting. It all works well to create a cheerful and welcoming space that’s warm and homely. It’s the kind of place that, the moment you walk into, you feel at ease and relaxed, and we enjoyed dining here. Being a Thursday, the special of the day was the chicken parmigiana and a drink (beer or wine) for a reasonable $25. My wife and I dined, we availed ourselves of this offer and we weren’t disappointed. And in a nice touch, a pretty waitress with a mask came to our table and offered to take our order. That was handy, as it meant that we didn’t have to go up to the bar counter ourselves and wait around to place our order. It was all done extremely efficiently, and our waitress was friendly and polite. Drinks and meals came out quickly and in the correct order. Fast and efficient service is the hallmark of a professionally run establishment and full marks to the Paddo because they excelled at that. But one can tell that the guys who run this place know what they’re about, because it hums like a well oiled machine. All the staff are professional in their attitude, neatly attired, polite and hardworking. It’s a pleasure to dine in such a place. Our chicken “parmies” as they call them, were fresh and tasty dishes and we both enjoyed our meals. The chicken was tender and succulent, cooked in a crispy batter, and covered with lashings of cheese, topped with ham and served with a nice dollop of wholesome salad and crunchy chips. A delicious meal, and a decent serving size too. You’ll never leave here hungry. The only thing that I wasn't mad about was the camp-style tin plates, mine slightly chipped as well.I prefer regular porcelain crockery, tin plates don’t turn me on. Toilets are in the corner, there are adequate male and female cubicles, but the 1980s hand dryer in the gents could probably do with an upgrade! We found easy parking just behind the Paddo in nearby Campbell Street, where there didn’t appear to be any after-hours restrictions. Altogether, a fab night at the Paddo, with a relaxed, casual and laid back atmosphere, excellent food and fast, friendly service. Making a booking was easy via their website. We received immediate confirmation via email and a reminder the day before.
Excellent service We were a party of 7 adults and one baby when we walked into the Paddo today, 15 minutes before their lunch service opened. They found us a really lovely large table that had room to park the pram and walker. Nothing was too much trouble. Drinks served quickly, orders taken and then lunches delivered 10 minutes later, including preparing a special meal for the vegan in our party. Did I say, nothing was too much trouble? And to top it all off the food was delicious. Thank you to the lovely staff today at the Paddo.
Relaxed Island style with holiday vibe. A true surprise for a city pub/bar. The 3 litre Mojito was incredible value.... so good I don't remember what we paid for it but it was sub $40!!!!! Staff were super friendly and very helpful with my questions about what's going on in Brisbane. This place must get busy in the evenings with drinks as pictured.... really looking forward to getting back there for a other lazy day.
Friendly service. Lovely venue. Good food. Has to be best lunchtime steak in Brisbane. How do they get a rump so tender? And fresh crunchy tasty veggies? Forget chips and salad. This is a rare pub that's happy to generously serve the veg without extra charge or attitude. An extra star or two for sure just for that
