Nestled within the original Osbourne House built in 1867, Jim’s Bait & Tackle plays tribute to the Sandgate’s rich boating and fishing heritage. Preserving its charm, the space is filled with repurposed, restored, salvaged materials from the local area & South-East Queensland. Step inside and discover a 30-foot trawler, cozy booth and dining.
With a brand new TAB area, 100-inch TV, cold beers on tap, playful banter, and mouthwatering dishes – there’s something for everyone down at Jim’s!
“This award is especially meaningful because Jim’s Bait & Tackle is much more than a bar. It allowed us to bring our family’s story into the Full Moon in a unique and personal way. Named after my grandfather, Jim Dowling – a lifelong publican, passionate fisherman and legendary storyteller – it celebrates both our family’s hospitality heritage and the rich boating and fishing history of Sandgate. Every detail was designed to tell a story and create a genuine sense of place. To see that vision recognised is incredibly rewarding and a credit to everyone who helped bring it to life.”
– Lucinda Dowling Black, Publican
