Welcoming Teneriffe locals with open arms, The Dalgety Public House officially opened its doors this week. Owner Mic Uebergang has long dreamed of opening a place where locals could converge to relax over a cold beer and a hearty satisfying meal, and is finally seeing that come to life. After securing The Dalgety’s site in Teneriffe, Mic soon discovered the history of the building, and was baffled to find out that, as if by fate, his family – multi-generation farmers from west of Toowoomba – were once key suppliers to Dalgety & Co. Ltd in the very same building.

The Dalgety Public House’s corner space has completely been transformed – the once-dark venue has opened up to welcome natural light, which illuminates VJ-style timber panels, polished concrete floors, exposed pillars and timber finishes. These elements are softened by floor-to-ceiling green walls, Uashmama bags sprouting flowers, cane furniture, tasselled throws and textured cushions, creating cosy nooks and inviting lounge areas. The inside space spills out to a long balcony, which has been customised to create a secluded timber-deck feel, changing the existing area for the better.

Although the revitalised space is impressive, the real heroes of The Dalgety are the food and drinks. Mic made a conscious decision to move away from craft beers for the public house – he wanted locals to be able to drop in for a familiar sip or two. On tap you’ll find the likes of Stone & Wood, Peroni and Melbourne Bitters – the only place in Brisbane with Melbourne Bitters on tap. The Dalgety also has a range of tallies on offer, cheekily served in brown paper bags on Sundays. You can plant yourself on a communal table to share in cocktail carafes and share plates, such as charcuterie platters, buffalo wings and fish taco bites. If your hunger is manageable opt for a light feed, like the pork belly bun with apple slaw, truffle mayo, skinny fries and crackle – yes, a side of crackle – or a salad of roasted beetroot, caramelised peach and pine nuts with crumbled fetta and wild rocket. If the hunger is really real, big feeds (and we mean BIG) are on offer too, including Stone & Wood beer-battered fish and chips with mushy peas, skinny fries and house-made tartare, or classic ‘toad in the hole’ with gorgonzola and Cumberland sausage. A public house wouldn’t be right without steaks too, served with skinny fries, onion rings and a selection of sauces.
