Story

The Criterion Hotel is an iconic symbol in the history of Hotels in Australia. Its famous cousin the 'Breaky Creek' Brisbane was built in the same year 1889 with very similar architecture, the Criterion having one extra floor. Following the Canoona gold rush of the 1850's the embryo of the Criterion Hotel, Palmers store was situated on the banks of the Fitzroy River opposite the present Criterion.

1856 saw the construction of the Bush Inn 'where The Criterion now stands' by Robert Parker of Gayndah. The eldest daughter of Parker, Dorinda Anne married George Silus Curtis a promising real estate agent, auctioneer and aspiring politician. Dorinda Anne was inspired to erect a 'public house of splendor and class' and after several journeys overseas The Criterion Hotel was constructed in 1889, the tender price reading 'just a little over ten thousand pounds'.

Since construction in 1889 'The Cri' has been a family operation, originally the Parker-Curtis families, The Smith family 1922 to 1982, Balkin, Gill, Tourish and from 1991 the Turnbull family. The Turnbull family are proud to have been owners since 1991 and are continually seeking new avenues to ensure the longevity of this Australian Icon. Four generations of the Turnbull family currently reside at 'The Cri'.

Reviews
Visited Rockhampton today enjoyed the observing some of its history and beauty. Impromptu visit to Pub - couple of drinks and lunch. Our little furry friend enjoyed the break from heat and a rest - what an absolutely ripper Pub/Establishment. Wish I was there for weekend. Jennyhope I got that right at bar was superb - ordering a drink, a meal question about the pub and it’s incredible history and memorabilia. Sensational
Excellent meal. Had the prawn,calamari and bacon fettuccine. Absolutely delicious. 5 huge Prawns and heaps of calamari. Pasta cooked to perfection and the sauce full of flavors bought it all together. Would rate meal 5 star. Only suggestion is thatnThe table staff clear the table as you finish rather than when you leave. It's nice to be able to relax after dinner without dishes in front of you not having being cleared........not at home after all and expect a different standard of service
Came here for dinner at 6:40 pmnIt was quiet busy. I ordered the garlic bread to start i could see it was sitting under the hot light for ages. It came out was pretty cold!nMy steak was cooked to Perfection. I ordered it blue. again sat under light waiting for the waiter. You can see even the Gravy was geting a layer of skin on it from going cold! The potato bake was blend and tasted not great it was like that taste When you overcook Broccoli it gets that funny taste for 45 dollars for a steak,they need to get more staff for better service! Ia sled what was the better cut meat and the guy at the till had no idea!nnI also had a long island ice tea with no coke it was nice. I loved the fluffy duck cocktail! The bar staff where nice a d friendly!
We had an impromptu Friday night dinner here, in the Bush Inn. It was very popular and was almost full at 6.30pm! There was a 30 min wait on the good. It was noisy, with a bingo night happening, but was full of character. The food was worth waiting. Huge portions, well cooked and well presented. Reasonably priced too. Would have loved to stay here as well. Very old classic colonial style, full of character.
Great place, center of Town on the river. Good beers and food. And a really fun atmosphere so many pictures!
