“The Brook was ready for a refurbishment, and it has been thoughtfully designed to cater to the needs of the local community,” Mr Walton said.

“It will feel fresh and aesthetically quite modern – characteristics we know will resonate with our patrons.

“We hope it will become a destination to attract people from across Brisbane to this precinct.

“We’ve kept the best elements from The Brook of the past too.

“The fig tree that has stood proudly on the hotel footprint for around 60 years will take pride of place framing the entrance to the new venue.”
