About Hemingway's Brewery Cairns Wharf
Hemingway's Brewery Cairns Wharf occupies a heritage-listed building at the cruise liner terminal on Wharf Street. It looks across Trinity Inlet and is a short walk from the Cairns Convention Centre and the city's hotels. The restored shed keeps its rustic timber, high ceilings and big barn doors that slide open to let the sea breeze through. Guests can sit indoors with a view of the brewing tanks or outside on the water's edge. Spaces flex to suit the booking, from about ten guests up to large events of 1,000. The venue handles birthdays, farewells, weddings, corporate functions and other milestones, in open-air or indoor settings. Beer is brewed on site and served alongside wines and spirits. Food comes from the in-house chef as canapés, boards, food stations, shared feasts or plated meals. An events team plans each booking and waitstaff look after guests on the day. A 10% deposit secures the date, final numbers are due 14 days out, and events wrap up by midnight.
