This was a rather nice pub with some rather friendly staff, though it certainly isn't one of my favourites in the area. In a way it is more like a fancy restaurant, or at least the bistro out the back was, where I decided to go and grab a drink. The service was pretty good though, and the beer selection was okay, though not necessarily all that fantastic. Still, it was a nice pub, and being close to the railway station certainly helped as well. read more

Unfriendly and rude staff. Sent email 3 weeks ago which was ignored concerning lost property. Their toilets including their new ones are gross and vandalised. read more

Cleveland Sands Hotel - My email I sent to the sands on the 27 April - Pubs Near Me - Cleveland, QLD

When I turned up at this place on a hot afternoon, the shaded, expansive deck with a breeze that ran through the entire restaurant made it a very pleasant spot indeed. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed at that point, but the bar was serving so I grabbed a drink and settled in among the other patrons enjoying the quiet, relaxed atmosphere sheltered from the sun. This is a big place and judging from the number of staff there preparing for the evening of trade ahead, it's popular as well. Along with the restaurant and bar, there is a separate gaming area. The location is wonderful, overlooking Raby Bay harbour. I really just can't say enough about that deck; it was a lifesaver on that scorching day. There weren't many other customers so it was a lovely setting for a peaceful drink. The hours for this place are a bit complicated because of all the different sections. I have posted the bar opening and closing times. If you're interested in the restaurant you can take a look at the website, but as a guideline, they're open for lunch and dinner seven days a week with breakfast served from 7.30am to 10.30am on weekends. read more

Cleveland Sands Hotel - Pubs Near Me - Cleveland, QLD

The Sands is my work local, so my colleagues and I have eaten everything on the menu several times over I think,and we keep going back, so it must be OK. It's pretty good food and a nice atmosphere. The chicken schnitzel, burger and chicken wrap are popular choices, and there's usually a cheap steak on offer. I like the open verandah style end of the restaurant, which always catches a breeze and has an outlook over Raby Bay and, beyond that, to Moreton Bay. The Sands is part of the 'Our Hotels' group and by joining an email list you can get member prices at the register by flashing a little tag they'll give you. The beer garden's a bit older and rowdier, but still a nice place to be on a Friday afternoon for a few sunset drinks. If bikini girls passing out drink samples aren't your thing, look the other way. read more

My partner and I had dinner here for the first time since the revamp. The service was really good. I had the fisherman's basket for one. Most of it was good but the fish was not fresh and tasted soapy. I will go back and try again though. Has a nice atmosphere read more
