To us, the corner of Macquarie and Florence Street in Teneriffe is home to a collection of local retailers and impressive woolstore apartments. In a previous life, the site was the home of Queensland Brewery Ltd, and later Dalgety & Co. Ltd – the first pastoral company to move into Teneriffe. So it seems only fitting that its latest inhabitant is focused on two key things – great beer and great food. 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.
