About Grafton Hotel
The Grafton Hotel has stood on the Bruce Highway in Edmonton for more than a hundred years, serving Cairns' southside with cane fields and ranges as its backdrop. It has been restored with care and still runs as a relaxed local, with a bistro, public bar, beer garden and gaming room. For events there are three bookable areas. The Function Room sits in the middle of the building between the bistro and the beer garden, and seats 40 or holds 60 standing as a private indoor space. Out in the beer garden, the high-table section near the entertainment stage takes 30 seated or 50 standing and suits after-work drinks or a night with live music. The area beside the kids' playground seats 40 or holds 60, so families can celebrate while children play nearby. Food comes from the pub kitchen as share platters, from party pies and sausage rolls to yum cha, antipasto, cheese, wings, sandwiches, fruit and sweets. Dietary needs are catered for where possible, and you can bring your own cake or decorations with no cakeage charged. Drinks can run as a standard, premium or deluxe package for two to four hours, as a bar tab with a limit you set, or as a cash bar. Cocktails on arrival and a spirit upgrade can be added to a package. There is a free car park behind the pub plus street parking nearby, though no courtesy bus. Bucks and hens groups are welcome, as long as the decorations stay tasteful.
