“A toast, then, to the Grosvenor School of Law!” Who would have thought a place like Grosvenor on George would earn such a nickname? Right here on the corner of George and Ann Streets, Grosvenor on George has stood for over a century, a silent witness to Brisbane’s bustling history. Built in 1881, this grand old pub quickly became a favorite haunt for lawyers and legal eagles drawn to the nearby Supreme Court. It’s no surprise then that it became affectionately known as the “Grosvenor School of Law.” But the Grosvenor’s story goes beyond legal briefs and court adjournments. This iconic establishment has seen it all, from the prosperity of the 1880s to the transformative 1920s, when its facade underwent a modern makeover. It even survived a stint as a McDonald’s, only to be lovingly restored to its former glory as a pub. Today, Grosvenor on George stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of this city. It’s a place where stories unfold, laughter echoes and the past mingles with the present, all over a cold beer, of course.
