The Gap Tavern

We went for an early dinner for my husbands Birthday. He had the Lamb Shanks, which he loved, and I had the chicken Wellington (pictured sorry it was half eaten). The Chicken Wellington was the star of the night highly recommend.

Beautiful atmosphere and general vibe. Karaage chicken was sooo good and just a nice place to spend an afternoon or evening having a drink, some food and a cheeky slap.

We were told about you having trivia, first time ever at your venue. (Travelled a hour to get there (traffic) Very impressed from the getgo, food was amazing for “pub” food. Came out fast, was delicious & we WON Trivia! Go figure , that was a first!! Going back tomorrow night & bringing friends.

We loved our lunch at the tavern. We sat on the deck surrounded by a lovely green vista. The service was great and I really appreciated the time one of the staff took to show me how to add my loyalty card to the me&u app. Our meat lovers pizza was definitely enough for 2 and the base was crispy and delicious. We tried the caramel cheesecake for dessert- amazing!! It’s a busy pub so book if you want an outside table with a view

Had dinner on Sunday night very impressed food was delicious dessert was even better and all the staff were very friendly and helpful.
Would definitely recommend. Thanks for a great night.

FOOD & DRINK
My wife and I dined at Gap Tavern on a quiet weeknight in early Oct. The Gap Tavern is part of the ALH Group, whose stable includes the Brunswick Hotel, the famous Royal Exchange in Toowong, the Indooroopilly Hotel, the Newmarket, the Morrison and many other fab pubs around Brisbane. We’ve dined at a number of them and always found the standards to be consistently high. We’ve never been disappointed at an ALH Hotel, and the Gap Tavern was no exception.

We started with two refreshing cocktails, the espresso martini and the vodka and orange juice. They were both excellently made and delivered personally to our table by the friendly bartender. Great way to start the evening.

As seniors, we were able to avail ourselves of the generous seniors menu. We ordered four items to share: calamari with lemon, aioli, chips and salad ($14), beef rissoles with peas and mash ($14), a garden salad ($9) and stir fried Asian vegetables with ginger and soy ($9). Every dish was delicious. The calamari was fresh and chewy with a crispy batter, whilst my rissoles were cooked to perfection and accompanied by peas and a dollop of creamy mash. The wholesome salad and crunchy Asian vegetables were the ideal complement to the calamari and the rissoles. Clearly, only the best premium grade ingredients are used. All the dishes were neatly presented to the table on elegant white crockery. Serving sizes were generous and we couldn’t have been happier with our meals.

AMBIENCE
G.T. is a large place that’s airy and comfortable, with indoor and outdoor seating. Being a warm spring night we decided to sit outdoors, which was cool and pleasant although this is the kiddie-friendly part of the place with a little play area. There were a couple of large family groups with kids, some of whom were a bit out of control, running up and down on the timber flooring. If you want a quieter, more sedate atmosphere, it’s best to sit indoors, which isn’t such a bad thing, because the indoors dining room is a plush and elegant space with low mood lighting, carpets throughout and sturdy wood and steel furniture. The ambience there is calm, laid back and relaxed, with good acoustics.

SERVICE
For the first time at an ALH Hotel, we decided to order using the app. It’s a fairly simple process of scanning the barcode, which is affixed to a little disc on each table. The menu will appear on your phone and you can simply order and pay from there. After ordering, it didn’t take long for the meals to arrive. Our young lady server was neatly turned out in a smart black uniform. She was friendly, polite and efficient and meals came out quickly. The only disadvantage of this kind of ordering is that all the food comes out at once, even though we had intended the calamari to be an entree. I guess one needs to call the waitress and make a special request.

COST
With our seniors' discounts, we paid a modest 75 pesos for two cocktails, an entree, a main meal, a plate of vegetables and a salad. That’s solid value for money in these hyperinflationary times, when our little Aussie peso is becoming more worthless by the day.

PARKING
Easy, free parking in the car park just outside the venue. At one end of the car park is the handy well stocked Dan Murphy’s liquor store, so if you’re still thirsty after your meal, you can stock up there.

SUMMARY
We had a pleasant evening here and everything ran smoothly. This is a first class venue, that’s airy, spacious and comfy with different seating options. Food is outstanding, service is efficient, friendly and attentive, and the app ordering makes the whole process easy. Add to that clean toilets and free parking right outside and you have all the ingredients for a perfect dinner with friends or family.

Wow first time visit to The Gap Tavern absolutely delicious meals and quite a large size enjoyed all the food and cold drinks here and food price was great not overpriced like some Taverns. Coming all the way from Newport QLD to try there meals. Very highly recommend coming here.

What a lovely tavern, nestled amongst the trees. Great outlook from the verandah.
The customer service was great, I always appreciate being acknowledged whilst I'm waiting to be served. A quick, ''I'll be with you shortly", goes a long way.
The food was fantastic... best rissole's I've had in a long time. Loved the caramelised onion gravy and creamy mash that went with it.
There was a special on the Great Northern, $7 for a pint. Cheap!
Quiet atmosphere... will certainly be going back!

James the manager was very welcoming, informative and friendly. There is no food service there only drink service. All the staff were lovely. The room was cosy, but the shower wasn't working too well.

Great staff, plenty of drink options even though I don't drink. Immaculate restaurant and toilets. Fast service. Great for laptop & mobile work as there was no music or it was very quiet. I sat next to a power point at the window. My colleague was very happy with his steak. Lots of parking but not many shaded options.

Really really nice. Service was a bit slow and food took a while but that was because it was busy. Food was delicious

Went for an early lunch today and service was excellent. Received at the door by Isaac who was very polite and informed us the kitchen would be opening soon, made recommendations for drinks and food and was very quick serving us.
I had a grilled fish and chips, which it was nice but slightly small portion, it was only 20 bucks so understandable.

Love the meals from lamb shanks, eye fillet steaks, chicken parmigiana and kids meals. Can't forget the caesar salad 😘. Staff are wonderful

Had lunch here the other day, super fast service and fantastic food. The staff were all really friendly, especially our server Isaac. Will definitely be coming here again!

Food was ok. Some items like the crispy skin Barra was warm and not crispy. Pricing average. Drinks came quickly, however entrees were slow. Ordering system effective. Good for a Tavern meal.

Food was fantastic. Wife had to ask 2 times to get her dessert.

Had the snapper and prawn pie. Was delicious. Was a family bday and other people at table had 1kg ribs each which they loved.
Staff are very accommodating to dietary requests. We will definitely be back.

Wow! Seriously surprised by how awesome this place is! Ben, Alicia and Maya were all so attentive and friendly! The food was delicious and fairly priced. If you’re in the mood for delicious food and excellent service, I highly recommend this joint to anyone and everyone!

Amazing food, great staff and an awesome atmosphere. Bar staff in particular were fabulous and the manager on duty was a standout guy. Thanks for a great lunchtime visit.

Visiting from the UK and was recommended this place but a friend, I was not disappointed. Amazing views, delicious food and fantastic service from Ben. He was helpful with the menu and info about the local area. I’ll be back!
