TRADITIONALLY A TRADESMEN’S pub, the Lord Stanley Hotel has undergone major refurbishment and re-branding to keep pace with the changing demographic of East Brisbane while retaining its tradesmen’s patronage. The essential elements of a quintessential pub have been retained in the contemporary refurbishment, with enhancement of the Beer Garden and new outdoor amenities and decks, while re-planning the interior architecture to include a gaming room, lounge bar, and function space fitted out with robust internal finishes. The original character pub is a town planning anomaly in a character housing area. Through careful design, public consultation, and council negotiation the Hotel has been successfully refurbished without compromising the amenity of its neighbors or the patrons that meet there.
