So we’ve been to the Charming Squire quite a few times – as a Brissy local, who hasn’t really? This place is consistently packed – we walk our pooch past here during the week and it’s always pumping.
I’ve had numerous work functions here, all have been fantastic from start to finish. Great beer, great food, great atmosphere.
We recently (March 2019) headed here for a late Sunday lunch from the Bar Menu and unfortunately it was average. The buns for the burgers were all a bit stale and we were rather disappointed we couldn’t order pizza before 5pm - everyone loves pizza and beer!
In saying that, the times we have come here for a pre-show meal in the dining room the food has been fantastic. Great wine selection too!
OUR TIP: Skip the bar menu and eat in the restaurant – you will be impressed with the quality. Be sure to make a booking, particularly if there's a popular show on at QPAC. Also don’t overlook the Iron Bark Coal Pit offerings – they are delicious!
The charming squire is an awesome venue to go grab some drinks with friends. Live music makes this venue so much better.
As far as the food goes I think it fairly average and overpriced but this is a good spot to go grab drinks and listen to live music
Charming Squire turns a spin on a typical pub meal and makes worth coming back for! You will pay for the extra 'fanciness' but it's well worth it. Service was polite and quick, meals were perfect portions and great quality, beers had lots of flavour and very fresh, and the atmosphere was relaxing as a live band played in the main bar area - loud enough to hear it but not so loud you couldnt have a conversation.
A wonderful place to visit on a early Sunday evening during my recent trip to Brisbane. Met a school friend who is settled in Melbourne and visited the South Park area.
I wanted to try their craft beer and settled for the 4 Wives Pilsener , comfortably seated.
It was almost a full house and entertaining music played by a three man band.
Came here for dinner on a Wednesday night. We ordered the baked camembert to share, it was amazing. Got three different breads to dip in and tasted so yummy. I ordered the scallops as a main with a side of coal roasted carrot and broccolini. All three dishes were incredible. The carrot was crispy and the broccolini and goat cheese went so well together. The scallops were fantastic. They had mashed potato, raisins and pickled elements and they all paired together so well. Such amazing meals and great service. Highly recommend coming here!!
Had 3 early morning work breakfast meetings and a dinner here and they were very accommodating and the staff were great. The breakfasts were some of the best I’ve had and also the best our international guests have had.
Thanks to Amy and Dusty Dan !!!

What a beautiful hemisphere restaurant that we came here for a quick dinner before go to QPAC for concert last Sunday night. Very friendly service and food is spot on. Open kitchen and dining area are divided by bar/fine area which is very likable. Can have a quiet dinner at fine dining area than catch a drink at bar area with live concert on.
Would like to go back again to try their pizza. It looks so tasty.
Highly recommended.
A meal and some pre-show drinks at the Charming Squire and you can't go wrong. Appeals to a wide variety of modern Australian tastes and has the beer and wine choice to go with it. The service is good with friendly and attentive staff too which makes the experience worth while. A regular favourite.
We had our Xmas party there Saturday 25.11.17 with around 14 people in attendance. The beer selection was excellent, cocktails varied and well prepared, food (sliders/oysters/chicken wings/rib fillet) all well presented and tasty. The staff were courteous, efficient, and attentive. The general decor upmarket pub and the venue itself warm and welcoming in my opinion. Would heartily recommend
Nice decor, not that we could enjoy much of it- the place was packed. Queuing for food and drinks was a nightmare, and prices are a tad on the high side. However, when the food arrived it was fresh and tasty ( pumpkin and goats'cheese pizza was divine!) Orders came out strangely- some of us had finished eating while other meals hadn't arrived. Some meals didn't even arrive before we had to leave to make it to QPAC, although they did raincheck these meals for our return several hours later. All the grumbles can be put down to the sheer volume of customers. Would come back perhaps early in the week next time.
Warm & welcoming. Beautiful location. The guy who served us - Harry, he’s a wonderful & knowledgeable host. Probably coz of him, we had a wonderful experience. The beer taster is worth trying. It gave us a good idea about what different kind of beers they make. The live music was nice too. Would surely visit once again.
Awesome venue with live music and great service. Upstairs, elevated, bar and outdoor tables with stylish industrial wood finishes. The bar is stocked well with beers on tap, wine, cider, spirits and excellent cocktails.
The food was delicious and came out quickly considering how busy it was. Fills up very quick on Fri & Sat nights so get in before 6:30-7:30 if you want a table.

Fabulous atmosphere to share with friends in the Embers Restaurant dining booths.
The food was amazing and the service was great.
Nice spot, good was good, order was mucked up which wasn't great because my wife is super fussy about her food. Would have been nice if them to open up the upstairs bar, as going up and down stairs for drinks is highly inconvenient!
Came in for a few beers with mates, great location and quite spacious, beers are alright but nothing spectacular
Great restaurant. Food is excellent. Staff are very helpful. Atmosphere was so enjoyable, oh, and great choices of beer 👌 👏
