About Hemingway's Brewery Port Douglas
Hemingway's Brewery Port Douglas is a brewpub and restaurant on the Crystalbrook Superyacht Marina at 44 Wharf Street. It sits a short walk from Macrossan Street, and its outlook runs across the marina to the rainforest-covered ranges of the Daintree. Downstairs has a laid-back coastal feel, with around 300 seats for everyday dining. Upstairs is Sails by Hemingway's, a dressier bar with polished timber floors, tropical styling and bi-fold doors that fold back onto a wide deck. The upstairs room is air-conditioned, so guests can stay inside on a humid night or spill out onto the deck for the breeze. Events are shaped to the group, from an intimate gathering of 10 through to a full function of up to 500. The kitchen caters functions with canapés, grazing boards, food stations, shared feasts or plated meals. Drinks centre on the brewery's own craft beers, alongside wine, cocktails and spirits from local distillers. The venue takes weddings, corporate functions, birthdays and private celebrations, and runs Christmas parties for groups of 30 or more. Drinks can be run on consumption as a bar tab, settled when the event wraps up. A 10% deposit and signed terms secure the date, final numbers are due 14 days out, and a minimum spend applies to most bookings. Functions wind up by midnight.

Great spot on the balcony overlooking the marina at sunset - more upmarket than Hemingway's below, not as yuppie vibes as Barbados, I'm amazed it's not crowded. Beautiful decor and great service
