As a woman I was uncomfortable here and didn’t feel especially safe. I’d requested my partner book us AT the airport and the Trade Coast (formerly the Pinkenba Pub) is 15 minutes drive away. There’s no way this is a 4.2 star hotel as advertised. None of the rooms have ensuites, instead there’s shared bathrooms down the corridor, and although I was advised I was the only female guest they’d had in a while, it was apparent that others were using the women’s bathroom by the large wet footprints. Being given only 1 room key made it difficult for us to shower at the same time. The rooms are up 2 flights of stairs, and there’s no elevator - if like me you have mobility issues, lugging heavy suitcases up and down isn’t much fun. No toiletries were supplied. I’d packed an overnight bag with just my next day’s clothes and a toothbrush in expectation of an ensuite and basic toiletries. Not having packed pyjamas it was annoying to have to get fully dressed to run to the loo in the middle of the night. As a FIFO / tradie pub it’s perfectly fine, just not what I was expecting. The rooms are a good size if you’re traveling on your own, it was clean and the basics were covered. It’s clearly set up as single men’s quarters. There’s only 1 cup 1 teabag etc, only 2 pillows. The bed was wedged tightly against one wall with the door opening immediately on the other side (no space for a bedside table, and nowhere to be out of view while opening the door). At half the price of the airport Ibis I can see why some find it attractive. The staff were very friendly and John the lovely courtesy bus driver went out of his way to make sure we got a meal after our flight was delayed. With the kitchen closing at 8pm, he had a menu on hand and phoned through our order. The food was tasty, well presented and a hearty serving. Take earplugs, it’s located between the airport tarmac and a busy main road. It’s a step up from some (not all) mining camps I’ve stayed at, but it was not what I was anticipating. This hotel is NOT at the airport even though it comes up when you search ‘airport hotel’.

Been multiple times for the lunch special that used to include a pot of beer. They've since dropped that and kept the cost the same. While I understand covid this, food costs that, it just makes it more money than what I want to spend on a work lunch. Food and service is nice though, it just doesn't feel like good value anymore.

They done a great job doing the place up but they haven't gone far enough. Need ensuite facilities and a permanent night manager. If done right, the place could be suitable for travellers from the Cruise Terminal. They have a suitable vehicle to do transfers. Money for jam with the correct staff and management 👌

We only accessed the bar area so not sure about all the room & service questions. It is mostly visited by truck drives & tradies but we thoroughly enjoy our visit. Due to the new International Brisbane Port being moved to Pinkenbar it was closest option for quick lunch & meeting with people on cruise ship. The service & food was the best I've had in a bar environment. I've heard they've renovated lately & it looks clean, modern & presentable. The Head Chief came out to make sure meals were up to standard & we asked him for cards to promote the hotel to others on cruise ship as hotel supplies shuttle to & from cruise terminal to hotel for those wishing a visit for a cold drink & delicious food. Go have a try I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself.

Great atmosphere, super friendly staff, and delicious woodfired pizza! 10/10 recommend for either a bite to eat or a good drink!

Good food and drink.options. Well priced for both and some excellent food promos during the week. Refurbished and now modern pub. Handy for cruise ship departures as is a $15 uber ride from the port. Hotel rooms currently closed.

We had an exceptional experience at this hotel and restaurant! The staff's hospitality was outstanding!! Thank you

Haven't been here for a long time and it was a pleasant experience. Good food good value and friendly staff. 👌

Signs need to be available to know where the restaurant is. Food is yummy, and I got the spaghetti bol made with wagu... omg yummy! I get it every Friday on my lunch break, and they are lovingly pushed my lunch to be made asap due to only a 30-minute lunch break, and they get it done in under 10min. I highly recommend this place for dinner. Great staff and always welcoming

For a an exceptional taste experience of extraordinarily good value on Brisbane's northside, you can't go past the Bistro at the Trade Coast Hotel at Pinkenba. The chef offers very diverse options in his menu, simply prepared to surprise and delight. It's well worth the 8 minute drive past the Brekky Creek to come here - the decore is as big a surprise as the taste experience. Pinkenba is unique - a friendly county village 10 minutes from the CBD, an absolutely relaxing gem. If you want to remind yourself how good a friendly county pub experience can be, come to Pinkenba's Trade Coast bistro.

Food its very good .. specially if u go for the lunch special …reason for my 3 star is that on a Friday there’s a particular waitress which seems to be having a bad day every time we dine there …

Came down today for lunch with some staff and was pleasantly surprised. Service was great, ambience was spot on and the food was DELICIOUS!! New menu catered for all and the starters kicked everything off (Yummy). Outdoor and indoor seating areas which is perfect for the start of Spring. Would highly recommend for anyone and compliments to the staff and chef's..... 5 Star !!!!

Ask and you will receive, just got my dinner and it is as good as it looks, top notch, it would have to be the best dinner out of all the hotels I’ve been too 👍

Very good service, didn't have to wait long to get service at the bar. With the number of people on the day trip it didn't take all that long for our meals to be served.

Hi I went there 3 or 4 weeks ago and my first time there was really Awesome as the Trade Coast Hotel had an Awesome atmosphere and the staff were really nice and had a Chicken Parmie and was really Awesome and my Courtesy Bus driver Krystal was lovely so will be going there again Thank you to the staff from Matt 👍😀🍻🍺🐔😀👍..

4 of us for dinner and Monty the dashhound. Barramundi/ Shnitzel/ bangers and mash all delicious and great service from Monty the server Give him a payrise. West Aussies visiting family and friends in QLD. Would definitely eat here again.

We stayed for one night and had drinks and dinner and the atmosphere was amazing both the manager and the driver / caretaker were amazing people would fully recommend this place for any travelers. We were going on a cruise and they went above and beyond to drive us to the cruise terminal the rooms were so quiet and bed was comfortable would totally recommend cruiser to stay here Customer service was 100%

Good place to stop in for a refreshment nicely decked out place with a cool free 80's video arcade machines

Very delicious food and excellent service. I will definitely go again.

Great chicken parmigiana, served fast & the woman with red hair and glasses who served us was extremely nice.

This was a run down old pub but has had a lot of time and money put into it. Much better!

Delicious food served in lovely surroundings, with a soothing water feature outside and a massive pizza oven within. Friendly and efficient service. Sufficient parking available. Bistro looks like a good place for a wedding reception.

Was booked out when i wanted to stay there this time but stayed here last year it's a nice hotel with nice food and drinks close to the ferry terminal to go to Morten island 🏝️ will be booking in advance next time

Have a lovely lunch, excellent service, staff couldn't be more helpful.

They've spruced the place up recently. Looking good. Entertainment ain't what it used to be though.....

Good spot for a beer. No where else nearby but still very good.

Talk about a diamond in the rough, this pub is about 6 klm from Brisbane's new Cruise Ship Terminal situated near nothing but the airport and industrial area. International visitors on Cruises will be very disappointed with first impressions of Brisbane, it will do little for city tourism when charged to bus to the City, think how good Sydney is and even Port Melbourne has some character. Good pub though with good service and food.

We sat there for 45 minutes waiting for our lunch and after we questioned the girl behind the bar as to where our meals were she came back and said the kitchen hasn't received our orders and we can either wait for them to do them or a refund. No apologies were given to us so we took the refund and got the hell outa dodge. I will never go back to that place again

Great food and drinks. Beautiful place with friendly staff.

Good meals and good atmlsphere. Friendly staff glad to help anyone out

The service and food were awesome. Highly recommend the Texan Parmi and the Ribs. We also had the caesar salad and the Myrtletown Burger. Both were delicious. A great beer selection as well as a beautiful setting to enjoy your meal. Highly recommend this place 👌

I understand that most pubs need to have pokies, and this place does too, but they are not "in your face ". Very neat well presented place with a cool history, being the old port of pinkenba n'all. Staff are xclnt too.

Nice little place but you have know where it is its out of the way of everything good spot for locals

Just had dinner here tonight and the food and service were great .... thanks Monty. I've eaten here a couple of times and the food and service has always been great. See you again soon.

We visited the restaurant at dinner time. There was a stunning wood fire pizza oven. We ordered pork, pizza and fish and chips. All superbly cooked and very delicious. The staff were all very friendly, professional and supportive. We definitely enjoyed the meals and time there. Also, very clean and tidy. Enjoyable space. When we have international guests, this is the place we bring them as this hotel is close to the airport. We had a wonderful experience there. We hope to visit there again near future. Thank you very much.

The food was amazing! I've never had anything like it. The service was great,too, Thanks.

What a great pub!! We had lunch there today with a group of 40 mad motorcyclists. Very happy with our choice. Staff are so friendly, food was excellent, and came out fast. The decor was great too. The Queensland Boulevard Riders all had a great time and we will definitely be going back there again soon. A big thank you to all the Staff.
