Norman Hotel, Historic hotel in Woolloongabba, Australia.

The Norman Hotel is a historic inn in Woolloongabba located at the corner of Ipswich Road and Qualtrough Street. The two-story brick building features ornate parapet work, a hipped iron roof, cast iron columns, and detailed verandahs that wrap around its corner position.

Built in 1889–1890 for Robert Heaslop to a design by John Beauchamp Nicholson, the hotel opened in June 1890 with Heaslop as first licensee; the licence soon passed to Henry Marsden, who lived on the premises. Brewers Perkins & Co bought it in 1900 as a tied house, and Castlemaine Brewery took over Perkins in 1928. It joined the Queensland Heritage Register on 12 July 2005.

The establishment serves as a social gathering place where locals and visitors meet for meals and drinks throughout the week. Its corner location has made it a recognizable landmark in the neighborhood.

The hotel has outdoor dining areas and is easily found due to its prominent corner position between two main roads. Walking around the building allows you to appreciate its architectural details from different angles.

The Kearney family held the licence for decades: Ted Kearney until his death on 1 January 1966, then his widow Elizabeth Josephine (Josey) Kearney for about twenty years. During her tenure the main bar was renovated, and little else changed until the late 20th century. Peter Cavill bought the licence in 1987 and opened a steakhouse and beer garden in 1988.
