After a three-year hiatus, the iconic Kirra Beach Hotel is back with publican and licensee Greg ‘Hodgy’ Hodge at the helm once more. Transforming the high-profile corner position on Marine Parade and Miles Street, the new 1300-sqm Kirra Beach Hotel features a sun-soaked beer garden alongside a family-friendly bistro, kids area, public bar, sports bar and boutique bottle shop. As for the menu, head chef Richard Whiting has compiled a people-pleasing selection that ranges from classic pub grub through to weekly seafood specials fresh from the trawler – think oysters, bugs, prawns, bug rolls and a massive KBH seafood platter that loaded with a little bit of everything. Behind the bar, Hodgy and the team will be pouring icy schooners with a focus on local brewers alongside Australian wines and local spirits. The Kirra Beach Hotel is the first of two hospitality venues opening as part of stage one of KTQ Group’s spectacular and highly-anticipated Kirra Point Precinct, with Kirra Beach House opening oh-so-soon. The venue is walk-in only and open seven days from 10:00 am.
