The Boatshed
The Boatshed restaurant has carved a niche as a symbol of stylish and relaxed gastro-pub dining, with sprawling river views and an innovative, seasonal menu. Awarded QHA’s Best Restaurant in 2017, 2018 and 2019, it’s well worth the visit.
A centrepiece of the restaurant is its stunning, two-metre long flame grill, which adds a sense of theatre as guests observe the cooking of the restaurant’s signature dry-aged steaks. With a commitment to fresh, local and seasonal produce, the selection of quality steaks is complemented by a variety of mainstays, with something to suit everyone’s tastes.
Leading on from the Courtyard’s island bar, The Boatshed is stylish and relaxed, featuring eclectic wood furnishings, scattered booths, and soft, earthy textiles in rich browns, neutrals and creams, which create a warm and inviting feeling.


Now sans external roller shutters, prime river views have been revealed through sound proofed, glazed glass that encases the Boatshed, filling the restaurant with natural light and protecting it from traffic noise and emissions.
Guests can relax in dining comfort while ordering a dry- or wet-aged steak and a bottle of one of the cellar’s finest wines while they sit back, take in the river views, and soak up the ambiance.
For larger groups, we offer a delicious 2 or 3 course set menu for groups with 20+ guests. View the set menu options by clicking here.

Our Happy Customers
Had a fantastic dinner at the Boatshed. All the meals were amazing and the beef was next level, absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly.Nikki
The Regatta ferry terminal is very convenient as you simply walk up the ramp, cross at the traffic lights & the Regatta Hotel is proudly standing on the corner. Breakfast was very nice & the outdoor seating area is very relaxing. The Regatta is a very beautiful historic building which adds to the dining experience. The staff were friendly & polite, and my scrambled eggs with a side of roasted mushrooms was delicious.Megan
Super great hotel! Something for everyone, like having 6 venues to visit all in one place! The best food ever! Such great steaks, wines and cocktails and fun place to hang out.Nicholas
We have eaten at the Boathouse restaurant several times and we have had a great experience and a fantastic meal every time. My wife has a lot of allergies and we find it very challenging to go out and get a meal. The staff at the Boathouse have been wonderful at accommodating her allergies and creating both a wonderful experience for her and a great meal. I can highly recommend them to anyone.Michael
Excellent location by the Brisbane River. Staff are super friendly and they have live music. Food at the Boathouse was excellent. We ordered a steak which was perfect. Five stars for the food. Regatta building has its own history. Must visit!Shane
I’ve always loved my meals at the Regatta, and the staff have great banter. Had some of the best cocktails ever here a few months back. Beautiful decor and good live music.Emma
