Our Story
The Story Bridge Hotel is a Brisbane icon, a local pub that holds a special place in the hearts of generations of Brisbane residents. Built in 1886 as the Kangaroo Point Hotel, the hotel is one of only seven, three-story hotels in Queensland from that period. Renamed The Story Bridge Hotel in 1940 to coincide with the actual opening of The Story Bridge, the hotel soon became the 'village pub' to the residents of Kangaroo Point-a suburb that was moving from being an industrial area to a popular residential location.
Today, Barrie's son and daughter, Richard and Jane Deery, manage the hotel, making "Story Bridge Hotel" one of the last remaining family-owned and operated hotels in Brisbane. A true landmark, 'The Bridge' has gained an enviable reputation for its fine food, extensive range of beers, quality wines and spirits. Come join us for a quick drink, great meals, good company, and lots of fun!
