Customs House is a heritage-listed building owned and operated by The University of Queensland.

The building features grand Corinthian columns, exquisite boardrooms, a stunning ballroom, seminar rooms and a restaurant.

The Patina Restaurant

The Patina Restaurant has a popular Champagne High Tea. The cuisine is local, farm-to-table based. You can enjoy dishes with fresh seasonal produce and local seafood.

 The name Patina links to the iconic copper dome atop Customs House, which over time has oxidised to develop its distinct green colour.  You can sit inside or outside on the terrace of the restaurant. You’ll enjoy views overlooking the Brisbane River and the Story Bridge.

Customs House Brisbane History

Did you know Customs houses were built in all major Australian ports in the nineteenth century?

The Brisbane Customs House is a fine example of the Victorian Free Classical style. It features grand colonnades, a portico and a dome.

Customs House caters for both corporate and private functions and is a spectacular venue for a wedding reception.

To find out more or make a reservation, view the Customs House website.
