Cecil Hotel

The Cecil Hotel sits on Nerang Street in Southport, a central hub on the northern Gold Coast. A long-standing, much-loved pub, it combines a classic, relaxed pub atmosphere with quality food, drinks and a welcoming, local feel — the kind of beloved institution that's become a genuine fixture of the area.

The appeal is that combination of a great pub atmosphere, quality food and drinks and a convenient Southport location, ideal for a relaxed meal, a drink, a catch-up or settling in for the evening. There's something special about a long-established local pub with genuine character, and the Cecil has clearly earned its loyal following over the years.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 1,300 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a relaxed meal or a drink in a characterful pub, it's often just a matter of dropping in and soaking up the atmosphere at the Cecil in Southport.
