Welcome to The Union Jack Hotel in tropical Cairns North Queensland Australia. The ‘Jack’ as it is affectionately known is just a little different than your average Cairns style pub. Not only are we a Hotel with a Bar and Restaurant, but we are also a very central Cairns Hostel for the globetrotting budget traveler looking for convenience, value for money, fun, activities, a great atmosphere & friendly service! We are also a LARGE entertainment venue which has two Great indoor bars, an outdoor bar, Dining Lounge, The Jackpot Gaming Room, Pool Tables & A Huge Outdoor All Weather Beer Garden where you can relax - unwind or party among good friends & great company. Live music & Dj's every Friday & Saturday night with some of the best acts in town, as well as some of the best live concerts in the middle of the city featuring world class acts from overseas and interstate.

'The Jack is the Only Pub-Style Backpackers hostel in Cairns and is still voted number one for fun by locals & travellers alike!'

GREAT FOOD - GREAT VIBE - AWESOME ATMOSBEER!!
