About Us
Freshly Renovated and Warmly Inviting.
The Clare Castle is under new management and the Bar, Restaurant, Wine Lounge, Bathrooms and Kitchen have all undergone a beautiful renovation to restore this 1870's pub to its former glory.
Pub Food at its very best.
The warmly inviting restaurant is serving a whole new standard of pub food. Of course, we have the Pub classics like Chicken and Veal Parmas, Cutlets, Burgers and Steak Sandwiches. But we raise the bar with our Signature Moreton Bay Bugs, Beautiful Fresh Fish, Potato Gnocchis, an amazing selection of steaks and much, much more.
The Home of the Moreton Bay Bug
The Clare Castle is the home of the Moreton Bay Bug. From beautiful Grilled Bugs (Entree and Main), Bug Tacos, Bug Turkish Bread Pizza to a sensational Garlic & Chilli Bug Spaghetti. You have to try our Moreton Bay Bugs
Beautiful Wine Lounge
Our Wine Lounge is a beautiful and relaxing space. Grab a glass or a bottle of wine, a scotch or maybe a beer and enjoy this beautiful quiet space.
