About The Mansfield Hotel

The Mansfield Hotel is an old-school pub at 743 Flinders Street in Townsville City that has been reworked around live music. It now has a beer garden, a kitchen built into a shipping container and a dedicated band room. Functions run out of two spaces. The Warehouse is a semi-private room with a stage, used week to week for local and touring bands, DJs and other acts. The Backroom, which the site also calls The B-Side, is a fully private room for groups wanting their own space. The function pack lists both rooms at up to 400 people standing or 80 seated, so the pub can handle anything from a long table dinner to a big stand-up party. Groups can also book tables in the beer garden or the back bar. Food comes as shared platters, each sized for 8 to 10 guests. Choices run from buffalo wings and sandwiches to an Aussie platter of sausage rolls and party pies, a yum cha selection, vegetarian croquettes and arancini, and fresh fruit. Most dishes are gluten free or can be made that way, and there are some vegan options. For drinks, hosts can pick a standard or premium package for two, three or four hours, put a capped bar tab on the card, or let guests buy their own. A spirit upgrade and arrival cocktails can be added to any package. A functions team works through the details with each host, and you are welcome to bring a cake and decorations, though table confetti is not allowed. Food and drink prices can change, so confirm the figures when you book.
