That’s right. The Norman is packing up its flame-grilled swagger and heading over the river, with a brand-new three-storey pub set to open in Enoggera by late 2026.
Dubbed Norman Northside, this Spanish-inspired stunner will sit loud and proud on the corner of Wardell Street and Samford Road, dishing up everything die-hard fans know and love: premium steaks seared over fire, an in-house butcher shop, and the infamous 1-kg steak challenge that has both ruined and defined many a Brisbane night.
But it’s not all about beef (though let’s be honest – it’s mostly about beef). Expect a line-up of elevated pub classics, non-steak favourites, local craft brews, punchy cocktails and a wine list that tips its hat to bold Aussie reds. The 400-seat space will also boast private dining rooms and a rooftop beer garden practically begging for Sunday sessions.
True to its long-standing community vibe, Norman Northside won’t just be about eating and drinking. The venue will also host cooking classes, celebrations, and casual catch-ups – giving Northsiders a place to call their own without having to trek south of the river.
So, North Brisbane, get ready. You’re about to learn what Southsiders have known all along: when it comes to steak, the worst vegetarian restaurant in town might just be the best.
