Stage One will unveil a reimagined experience with a new Italian eatery with rustic-modern interiors and an open kitchen, a redesigned steakhouse, Panama Jacks, and a laneway to connect indoor and outdoor spaces. A garden terrace brings together modern sophistication and relaxed comfort, while new family-friendly areas sit alongside adult-focused dining and entertainment, creating a true day-to-night destination.

Stage Two will introduce The Captain’s Sports Bar in 2026, a modern social hub complete with multiple screens and group seating, and a brand-new dedicated function room designed for community celebrations.

Bracken Ridge Tavern is setting a new benchmark for hospitality on Brisbane’s Northside, as the area experiences a surge in locals seeking elevated dining and social destinations that still feel like home.
