A Brisbane bayside pub is set for a massive upgrade with works starting on a $1.65 million revamp to give the venue new life.
The Cleveland Sands Hotel, which opened in 1930 and is operated by Australian Venue Co, will welcome a new courtyard and beer garden with a capacity of up to 200 people as part of the renovations.
The venue’s sports bar will also be expanded as part of the project with the aim of creating an entertainment hub and a band stage will be built to host touring acts.
“The renovations at Cleveland Sands Hotel is about creating a destination for the local community to get together,” AVC Queensland state manager, Scott Brydson, said.
“The new sports bar and beer garden will be enjoyed all year round and we’re bringing a cracking line up of major touring acts to the pub, to create a live and local entertainment experience alongside food, beverage and sport.
“We’ll be able to offer our locals a complete day or night out under one roof.”
Mr Brydson said the project was an exciting revitalisation project, which would significantly improve the venue.
“We’re really excited to deliver the next chapter of the venue to the local community
what it will add for the community,” he said.
“We think it will give the community a welcoming, family-friendly destination with the opportunity to enjoy a complete day out under one roof, with food and beverage, sports and entertainment”
Mr Brydson also said the upgrades at Cleveland Sands, which is on Bloomfield and Middle St in Cleveland, would create more jobs for the Redlands area.
Works have already started and is expected to be complete in winter this year.
The current bistro and the gaming room will operate as usual through the renovation.
