The Grafton Hotel has been at the heart of Edmonton for over a century – a place shaped by hard work, community and the everyday moments that bring people together.
Built in 1910, it quickly became a cornerstone of life on Cairns’ southside, welcoming cane cutters, travellers and locals alike, and that same spirit still defines it today. Set against a backdrop of cane fields and mountain ranges, the Grafton remains a true local – familiar, approachable and grounded in the community it has served for generations.
Thoughtfully restored, it brings new life to a historic landmark while staying true to what it has always been: a proper feed, a cold drink and a warm welcome
The menu at Grafton Hotel is built around the things locals love.
Think hearty pub classics, crowd-favourite pizzas, generous portions and great value every day of the week. From steaks and schnitzels to family dinners and easy lunches, there’s something for everyone at the table.
Behind the bar you’ll find all your favourite beers on tap, local classics, refreshing cocktails, wines and spirits.
Good food and cold drinks never go out of style.
Our spacious beer garden is made for long lunches, weekend catch-ups and relaxed afternoons in the Queensland sunshine, with plenty of room for families, mates and social groups to enjoy a meal, watch the game on the big screen or settle in for live entertainment.
With a dedicated kids’ play area, family dining spaces and a relaxed atmosphere, it’s a venue where everyone feels comfortable – from toddlers through to grandparents.
When the big game is on, we’re showing it.
From NRL and AFL to State of Origin, cricket and major sporting events, the Grafton is your local home of live sport.
Cold beers, pub classics and all the sporting action.
