The Grand Hotel

Vibrant atmosphere. Live bands kicking off. A gentle salty breeze rolling in off the water. The Grand Hotel in Labrador delivers that quintessential Goldie pub experience—unapologetic, lively, and right across from the beach. Forget the occasional grumbles about strict menu rules or kitchen pacing. Savvy punters know you bypass the noise for the spectacular ocean views and the frosty schooners. Friendly bar staff sling killer frozen mango margaritas while you soak up the relaxed coastal vibe. The menu is massive. Carnivores consistently champion the mammoth 400g steaks—chargrilled, smothered in rich garlic sauce, and paired with crispy chips. Grab a raised stool in the main bar. Order the Korean chicken pizza. Hit the pokies or just watch the pelicans glide by. Clean apartments upstairs mean you can even make a weekend of it. A breezy, no-nonsense waterfront classic.
