Emily, Sue, Jason and Geoff Kinsella at the Club Hotel’s new Craft Bar … the hotel will be focussing on Australian craft beers and wines to bring something new to the region’s hotel offerings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

September 27, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kingaroy’s historic Club Hotel intends to carve out a new niche in the region’s hotel landscape.<\/p>\n

Owner Jason Kinsella – who is already well-known for Moffatdale Ridge Winery – says he wants to bring back “a real pub atmosphere” where people can stop by for a drink and chat with their mates without the noise of gaming machines in the background.<\/p>\n

So he’s eliminated poker machines, keno and TAB and intends to keep the hotel gambling-free.<\/p>\n

Instead, patrons can enjoy an ever-changing selection of craft beers on tap, or browse through the region’s largest selection of wines in the hotel’s bottle shop.<\/p>\n

They’ll also be able to snack on tapas platters if they feel peckish.<\/p>\n

Jason told a recent Kingaroy Chamber of Commerce Meet & Greet that he had been kept busy renovating the hotel for most of this year, and still had more to do.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This includes expanding the size of the hotel’s upstairs bedrooms, renovating the upstairs conference room and building an indoor beer garden.<\/p>\n

However, he opened the hotel’s doors in late August after the building was shut up for more than a year.<\/p>\n

The new-look pub has now been successfully trading for several weeks and Jason said he was very pleased with the positive reactions he has received so far.<\/p>\n

The hotel will focus on craft beers and ciders from Australia’s booming independent breweries.<\/p>\n

Jason said he plans to change the beers on the bar’s taps regularly to reflect the season.<\/p>\n

Patrons who prefer spirits can also try hard-to-source products from boutique Australian distilleries alongside the better-known international brands.<\/p>\n

The bottle shop will provide wine buyers with a choice of 600 labels, including the full range of Jason’s award-winning Moffatdale Ridge wines.<\/p>\n

He said the hotel would be run as a family-owned enterprise the same as his winery, with sons Geoff and Josh helping out alongside daughter Emily and his wife Sue. <\/strong><\/p>\n

“Geoff wants to work in the vineyards so I think Josh will be handling the hotel’s day-to-day operations, and I’ll be handling Josh,” Jason joked.<\/p>\n

“But we’ve all had a lot of experience working together and we all enjoy looking after our customers, so I think it should work out fine.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
