Pub on Palmer

Pub on Palmer The Heart of Palmer St, The Pub on Palmer. Now Open! While the building has evolved over the years, its timeless charm and character remain intact.

The Pub on Palmer, formerly known as The Shamrock Hotel, has been a cherished part of Townsville’s social fabric since 1889. With a legacy of offering a warm, welcoming atmosphere, it quickly became a favorite spot for enjoying a cold beer, hearty pub fare, and hosting memorable functions. Each successive licensee has preserved the beauty and history of this grand old establishment, ensuring it continues to serve as a vibrant hub for the community. The Pub on Palmer carries its rich heritage with pride, offering a space that can be as lively or as laid-back as its patrons desire. Situated at 31 Palmer Street in South Townsville, the new Pub on Palmer builds on the storied past of The Shamrock while embracing the future. With a refreshed dining experience, an updated gaming room, and a state-of-the-art sports bar, there’s more to explore than ever before. The sports bar boasts 10 large-screen TVs to catch all the big games, 18 taps pouring a diverse range of beers—including favorites like # # , Great Northern, VB & James Squire —and a friendly staff dedicated to making every visit exceptional. Whether you’re drawn by the nostalgia of the old Shamrock or excited to see what’s new at The Pub on Palmer, this beloved venue continues to be a cornerstone of North Queensland’s laid-back lifestyle. Come for the history, stay for the future.
