Wonderful old pub, great food and service, also ambiance by the bucket load. A wonderful way to spend a rainy Friday Evening. Also enjoyed the history portrayed in photos and paintings . The fire was on as well so it was super cosy.

Hi Janet, Thank you for the wonderful review! We are so glad to read that you had a great experience with us and we hope to see you back here again in the future. Cheers, Empire Hotel Management
We booked with a nostalgic sense having stayed here in the late 1970’s. Externally she is currently being repainted and internally our double room was clean, recently updated en suite but in a very high ceiling original room. The view out the window was straight into another room!’ Dinner was tasty traditional and taken in the formal dining room. The staircase remains a heritage wonder to behold.

Hi Shiyu, Thank you for your wonderful review! It is so nice to read that you stayed with us back in the 1970's and have come back to visit us again this year. We hope to see you again in the future and thank you for appreciating the history of our beautiful hotel! Cheers, Empire Hotel Management
We stayed here so that we could go kayaking. However we really enjoyed this hotel, it is very quaint, with a tea room. The staff are lovely. We also tried the food and this was great too! Well worth a visit!

Hi Michelle, Thank you for your wonderful review! We are very glad to read that you enjoyed your experience with us and we hope to see you back here again soon! Cheers, Empire Hotel Management
We were visiting Queenstown and were going to this hotel for lunch when the manager started yelling violent threats at a peaceful group of people demonstrating in the street against......violence! He then started throwing objects at them and continued for about an hour. I would not recommend entering this business without wearing a flack jacket and definitely would not take the family in. Disgraceful that such a bully is allowed to roam the streets, let alone run a business. ENTER AT OWN RISK!

Hi all, In regards to an earlier post; After concluding an investigation, we can confirm that nobody from the Empire staff threw the steak. An identified person who did throw the steak, has no association with the Empire Hotel, Queenstown, and has been dealt with accordingly. Naturally it is concerning that a mistaken identity has created extreme stress to our Publican and his team (our valued employees). Such misinformed allegations gaining traction on social media platforms and within other media platforms had the potential to not only negatively impact our business, but to cause undue stress to innocent parties. This is our final response to the allegations and we wish to make no further comment. We will now turn our focus back to offering our guests a warm, welcome West Coast hospitality experience. We would appreciate if you would consider amending or removing your review, Thank you.
Lovely old place, yes its a bit tired but if your looking for a good beer, nice locals to chat to and one of the best steaks I have ever tasted then this is the place for you. Try this place and you will be surprised.
