The Courier-Mail understands the hotel is being investigated for breaching COVID rules.
It is also understood that the 54-year-old was allegedly snuck into the venue and not signed in, causing the breach.
The Caxton Hotel declined to comment.
Langer attended the pub with conditioning duo Ryan Whitley and Blake Duncan. The three were stopped from travelling for the match against the Rabbitohs on the weekend.

The Broncos released a statement last week confirming the triumvirate were sent for coronavirus testing.
“Three Broncos staff members will undergo COVID-19 testing after attending a private function in Brisbane,” the statement read.
“The club became aware of the matter today involving football staff Allan Langer, Ryan Whitley and Blake Duncan, and contacted the NRL immediately.
“As a precaution, those staff have been placed on ‘COVID Holds’, and will undergo testing before returning to the Project Apollo bubble.
The pub visit came amid a string of breaches of the NRL’s own COVID rules, including Wayne Bennett attending a restaurant and Tevita Pangai Jr’s visit to a barber shop.
