The Royal Queenscliff

23/10/2026

👑🫎 BRUCE THE MOOSE HAS A ROYAL ANNOUNCEMENT! 🫎👑

Loyal subjects, allow us to introduce Bruce the Moose, a rather distinguished member of our Court who has been keeping a watchful eye over The Royal for some time.

Regular visitors will recognise Bruce, who presides majestically above the fireplace in our reception hall.

Legend has it that Bruce is a reminder of the days when King Allan roamed the wild forests surrounding the Borough of Queenscliff, gallivanting about on adventures best left to the imagination.

These days, Bruce prefers the warmth of The Royal, a commanding view of proceedings and the occasional bit of Friday night mischief.

And speaking of mischief…

👑 THE ROYAL CHRONICLES RETURN! 👑

Episode Six: The Pearly Conspiracy…

After weeks of silence, a secret dispatch has finally arrived from the Three Queens of Queenscliff.

Their mission to distant lands was to investigate whispers of a Royal coup.

And, dear loyal subjects, THE PLOT HAS THICKENED! 👀

Whilst travelling through the Kingdom of Old Blighty, our Queens uncovered a brazen band of would-be usurpers calling themselves THE PEARLYS!

So confident were these conspirators that they were openly advertising their intended titles upon their jackets!

👑 QUEEN OF THE BOROUGH!

👑 KING OF THE ROYAL!

The audacity!

Our Three Queens were aghast. Had these pretenders never heard of King Allan of Queenscliff?

Suffice to say, the Queens took matters into their own hands.

The photographic evidence speaks for itself.

Whether the coup has been thwarted remains a closely guarded Royal secret…

To be continued… 👀

👑 MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE ROYAL…

King Allan continues to preside over THE HAPPIEST OF HOURS — FRIDAY 5–7PM!

🍸 Specials on selected drinks

🧀 Complimentary Friday bar snacks

🍕 Delicious gourmet pizzas available

🎁 Fabulous giveaways from Ocean Cafe Queenscliff, Bellarine Country Butchers and Vintage W**e Company

💰 THE ROYAL PURSE IS GROWING AGAIN!

The chance to win the Royal Purse will be drawn at 7PM sharp. Remember, Royal Family members must be present to claim the riches should their name be drawn!

And this week’s secret password?

🤫 ROYAL PASSWORD: TREASON

Whisper TREASON to the Court this Friday and the first FIVE loyal subjects will receive a little Royal reward.

👑 Friday 5–7PM | The Royal Queenscliff

Come for a drink. Stay for the people.

And remember… not everyone who wears a crown can be trusted! 👀

👑 The HAPPIEST OF HOURS ARE BACK! 👑

The flags have been won, the celebrations have been had, and order has finally returned to the Queenscliff Realm.

Which means King Allan can get back to the important business of Friday nights at The Royal. 🍸👑

The Happiest of Hours | Friday 5–7PM

No grand occasion required. Just finish the week, gather your favourite people and settle into the Cocktail Lounge for a couple of very happy hours.

🍸 Specials on selected drinks
🧀 Complimentary Friday bar snacks
🎁 Fabulous giveaways
💰 And, of course, THE ROYAL PURSE!

A few weeks ago, our local regular Andrew claimed the Royal Purse. Congratulations, Andrew! 👑

But the purse is already growing again and will be drawn at 7PM sharp. If your name is called, you must be present at The Royal to claim the riches.

And King Allan has issued this week’s password…

🤫 THE ROYAL PASSWORD: MERRIMENT

Whisper MERRIMENT to the Court and the first five people to do so will receive a little Royal reward.

No football finals. No secret missions. No international intrigue.

Just cocktails, complimentary snacks, prizes, laughter and the sort of people who make you very glad you popped in for one. 🥂

👑 Friday 5–7PM | The Royal Queenscliff

Come for a drink. Stay for the people.

SEA-TEMBER — THE ROYAL HOTEL

The Royal Hotel glows blue for World Maritime Day and SEA-TEMBER.

For generations, it has stood beside Queenscliff’s maritime story — its tower watching The Rip, harbour lights, fishermen, pilots, sailors and ships come and go.

The sea is not simply part of Queenscliff’s landscape. It is part of who we are.

This SEA-TEMBER, we honour the people, places and stories that connect Queenscliff to the water.

Remembering the maritime heart of Queenscliff.

And there’s still time to experience more of our maritime story.
