The Crown Hotel

About The Crown Hotel

The Crown Hotel is a traditional Queensland pub on Shields Street in the middle of Cairns City, a short stroll from the Esplanade. It runs a sports bar, a restaurant area, a bottle shop and a tropical beer garden at the back, with live music on Friday and Saturday nights. For private functions the pub offers three areas. The Tropical Beer Garden is the main space, holding up to 150 guests under palms and umbrellas. The Palm n Pint Room is a smaller enclosed space for up to 40, fitted with its own full bar and several TVs, and there is also a seated terrace outdoors. A $200 hire fee locks in the beer garden, and groups of 60 to 150 can have the garden to themselves once they reach a $3,000 minimum spend. For the smaller room, a $100 hire fee holds the booking, and a minimum spend may apply if you want it exclusively. Food is served as share platters, each sized for roughly 20 guests: Asian nibbles, sliders, an American-style feast, a hot seafood platter, chilled oysters and prawns, and tray cakes for dessert. Pizza slabs can be added, and gluten-friendly and vegan choices are available if you mention them when booking. Events can be set up as a lunch, a dinner or a stand-up cocktail party. The function spaces come with a dedicated host, a private bar and AV connections, and DJs and bands are welcome. The pub's function team looks after birthdays, Christmas parties, engagements and weddings, hens and bucks nights, team-building days and corporate events. The Function Manager can quote, check dates and arrange a walk-through of the spaces.
