Albion Hotel

Recently visited the Albion Hotel for Mothers Day breakfast buffet with my family. First time going to the venue and it was surprisingly nice inside. Food and coffee was good, venue was clean, staff were welcoming and helpful. Although it rained, the atmosphere was still lovely and I will definitely be going back.

Had dinner and drinks here with a couple of friends tonight. Great food and drinks, and great service. Had pork ribs - it was so tender and tasty. Highly recommended.

Great local with good atmosphere, Andrew and the team were very friendly and quick to assist. Kangaroo loin on the specials menu along with some other unique nibbles.

Fantastic wine selection, attentive and knowledgeable staff and a modest but expertly crafted snack/light dinner menu.
Rotating wine list should keep you coming back!

Been our local for a few years now and it's for a reason. The staff remember your order and the food is always great. Better steaks than the breaky Creek guaranteed. But shout out to Aurora, Andrew, Hannah, James and Susan, you guys make this place! Genuine legends 🤙

Had the most amazing food tonite from the Beer Garden along with perfect Arachini Balls for Entree. Thankyou guys we will definitely be back with friends 😊

Great suburban watering hole on the main Sandgate road drag at Albion
It has been here for a hundred years!
The dining section is done out in an Italian twist and very comfortable
The chandelier lighting adds. Touch of refinement

Went for dinner with my partner, ordered 2 steaks, his medium mine medium well. I didn't want to complain but mine was medium to medium rare. Initially thought steaks were swapped but that wasn't the case. Brought it up with the servers who agreed it was definitely under. They apologised and offered us a round of drinks while we waited for a remake. When the remake came out with a generous serving of sides. The food was delicious and we appreciate the service definitely felt looked after. I do recommend not sitting outside in evening though. The wet weather has brought out an army of mozzie but I can say that was the only down side of the experience but that's not on the venue. Will be going back again.

Food
Being just my wife and I, we stuck to a fairly simple ordering protocol; starting with two drinks, followed by an entrée and then two mains, supplemented by an extra glass of our fav “Squealing Pig” Sauvignon blanc to wash it all down. For the entrée, we chose the “calamari fritti” with citrus aioli ($14), while the mains were the “chicken supreme” ($27) and the Moroccan lamb pizza ($26). The calamari was soft and chewy; accompanied by a smooth and creamy aioli sauce. Perfect way to start the evening. And the mains didn’t disappoint either. My wife's chicken supreme was a tasty and satisfying dish, with generous pieces of succulent chicken, served with fresh rocket salad, potato cakes that were as soft as butter, and garlic sauce. My Moroccan lamb had lashings of tender lamb slices, cheese, spinach and caramelised onion. As good as any you’d get at any Italian pizzeria. Portion sizes were generous and we both enjoyed our meals. Presentation was neat on smart, modern crockery.

Service
We were warmly greeted on arrival by the manager, and shown to a nice table on the outdoor terrace, in the part of the venue, known as the “Cucina Restaurant”. This is the kind of place where you’ll feel welcome the moment you walk in. Amy, our server for the night, was polite, friendly and efficient. She was perceptive too, helping us to choose the right table, in a quieter part of the restaurant. Our order was promptly taken and drinks, entrees and main courses came out in a steady clip and in the correct order. It was a pleasure to enjoy such professional service. Thanks Amy.

Vibe
The Albion is a stylish, airy and spacious venue with multiple dining areas, inside and outside, pub style or bistro style: there’s something for everyone. It exudes history and old world charm and if you take a walk down the corridor you’ll see a pic of the original hotel built in the 1860s, alongside a framed narrative of the story of the site. As a history buff, I loved that. Furniture is comfy with colourful wicker chairs and solid steel tables that were able to fit all the drinks and the meals. The vibe is relaxed, casual and laid back. Tables are well spaced out, meaning that acoustics were good and we were easily able to converse. But I guess as the weather cools, indoor dining would be more suitable and you’ll have plenty of choice of where to sit.

Cost
We paid 88 for three drinks, including a pint of my fav Gt Northern Super Crisp Ale at the specials price of only 6, an entrée and two mains. Given the excellent quality of the food, generous portion sizes and efficient service, it was money well spent. But it really just goes to show the extent to which inflation, driven by massive govt overspending and free money for all, has completely eroded the value of our little Aussie peso.

Toilets
Toilets are clean and well provisioned with soap and hand towels. They’re clearly signposted and easy to find in the middle of the venue.

Parking
There is a car park right in front of the venue, which also serves the adjacent BWS Liquor Store. Apparently payment is required to park, but if you give your car reg to the manager, he’ll make sure that you aren’t charged. Having the BWS liquor store right there is handy and convenient, as you can stock up the liquor cabinet on your way out.

Summary
We had a fab night at the Albion and everything ran smoothly. The Albion is part of the A.L.H. Group of hotels. We’ve dined at many of them in and around Bris and never been disappointed. The Albion was no exception and it completely met all our expectations. Here you’ll find all the ingredients for a laid back, relaxed and super comfy night out with family and/or friends. We’ll definitely be back.

The Restaurant supervisor, Hannah is especially helpful with ensuring we always are greeted with a smile and provided with an enjoyable evening. I must also mention one of the young ladies in the bar, Aurora. Who made our group some fantastic cocktails last time we visited and is always very professional and courteous. I've been to many venues around Brisbane and abroad and I continue to come back to this place because of the exceptional service by all the staff employed here. Management (Lisa) is doing a fantastic job running the place and We hope to be back soon

Make sure you tell staff on arrival to ensure ur parking is covered free of charge. Just another great service from a Stirling venue that sets the bench mark others should aspire to achieve

We stopped in the as our son is thinking about having a small wedding reception there for around 20 people so we had a look at there wine room looks nice just the right size
We also had lunch there that was very nice as well
Great parking there and only across the road from the train station as well.

Great friendly service from staff, good food choices accommodating food preferences, great atmosphere.

Awesome service with friendly staff and great meals. Highly recommended.

Service was great and staff were very friendly. I had the chicken and avocado pizza which for me was way out of my comfort zone, as I am a meat lover. OMG, how good was the chicken and avocado pizza. I am a changed person because of it. Thank you AH for opening me up to a different world. I will be back.

Was a quiet Sunday arvo. Very relaxing
