The Royal has been part of Queanbeyan for 100 years, and a lot has changed along the way. What hasn’t changed is that people come here to eat, drink and spend time together.
Today, RHQ brings together a bar and bistro, live music, sport and different spaces to find your spot. If you’re looking for a pub or restaurant in Queanbeyan for lunch, dinner or a drink with friends, there’s plenty happening under one roof.
Our bistro serves lunch and dinner seven days a week, with blackboard specials and pub favourites including quality steaks, burgers, pizzas and chicken schnitzel.
The familiar centre of the Royal. Order a beer, cocktail or glass of wine before joining friends in the bistro, sports bar, outdoor dining area or beer garden.
Enjoy lunch or dinner outside in our dedicated outdoor non-smoking dining area.
From our Rib-Eye steak and house-smoked pork ribs to pizzas, burgers, pasta and fresh salads, there’s plenty to choose from for lunch or dinner. Our daily blackboard specials give you another reason to see what’s cooking.
Catch your favourite races, matches and games live on the massive screen in our Sports Bar.
