  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for scenic views
Only 20 kilometres North of Brisbane CBD, is our family friendly yacht club and marina. Queensland Cruising Yacht Club restaurant and bar offers amazing views over the yachts and out to Moreton Bay. Our menu is seafood focused with fresh seafood direct from the trawlers next door. A hidden gem in the seaside village of Shorncliffe, but only a train ride from Brisbane. There is live music Sunday afternoons. Grab a drink from the bar and sit alfresco by the water.

    The staff and service were all great. The food however was very poor. The 3 chicken snitzell meals we ordered were all well over cooked and oily. The beef burger was likewise over cooked and the roll was not fresh at all. Overall will not return again

    The Queensland Cruising Yacht Club is a fantastic spot to unwind with its beautiful marina views and refreshing ocean breeze. The setting is meticulously maintained, and the relaxed, inviting atmosphere pairs perfectly with the attentive and friendly service. It’s always a pleasure to spend time here, taking in the scenery and enjoying the warm hospitality.

    A great time as usual. Fabulous setting, friendly staff. Meals were slow to be delivered but that was to be expected due to high numbers attending venue to listen (and dance to) awesome band. A group of 8, we all had a fabulous experience. Thank you QCYC.

    Have dined here a few times and it’s a great spot. It was fully booked and despite requesting a low table we were seated at a high table, I did not say anything as due to busy it was they would have struggled to find us if at all another table. The table was only partly shaded and unfortunately for me I ended up with a sunburnt arm, my fault as I had no sun protector on. Although all the other party in the group enjoyed their food, I only gave the score of 3 as my food was disappointing I had the nachos they came maybe around 10 mins after everyone else was served and either they had been prepared before everyone else’s in the parties food and were forgotten about and left waiting to be served or were rushed as yes they were forgotten as they were lukewarm at best and quite underwhelming. Saying that it’s the first time I have been disappointed with the food here, I just think they struggle a tad when they are that busy. It is worth a visit for sure 😀

    Thank you Eileen for your honest feedback. It is unfortunate, that we were unable to seat you on lower seats, we make every attempt to follow through with seating requests, however there are times that this is not possible. With regard to your comments on the food and service, be assured that this will be passed on to the appropriate people. We do hope that you will give us another chance, and look forward to seeing you back again.

    No milk in coffee bar so no coffees or white tea available On a busy day it would have been sensible to send a staff member out for milk Sunday is a busy day

    The menu is limited to low-end pub fare, and the food is very ordinary. Wine selections are mid-range. Bar staff are pleasant, but I wish they’d find a discrete place to have a smoke break…
