The Pursuit of Hoppiness began with a simple passion, a love for good food, quality craft brews, and the vibrant spirit of the Cleveland community. We wanted to bring people together in a place that feels welcoming, down-to-earth, and a little bit special, the kind of spot that quickly becomes your local favourite.

From the start, our dream was to create more than just a restaurant. We set out to design a space where families could share meals without stress, where friends could catch up over a cold beer, and where every visit felt like a mini escape from the everyday rush.

Whether you’ve just spent the afternoon out on the water, are gathering for a weekend catch-up, or simply want a cozy spot to unwind after a busy day, The Pursuit of Hoppiness is here to make every moment easy, enjoyable, and memorable.

Our menu champions Queensland’s seasonal produce, blending coastal favourites with modern Australian flavours and a touch of Asian inspiration.

Our kitchen team creates bold, uncomplicated dishes that let fresh ingredients shine.

From small share plates to hearty mains, everything is made to pair perfectly with our ever-changing craft beer list and handpicked wines.

We’ve set up The Pursuit of Hoppiness with everyone in mind, because we believe good food and good times should be for the whole family. While the kids go "old school" and play board games like snakes and ladders or checkers, parents can finally take a breath, relax, and enjoy some chill time.

We’ve thought of all the little details to make life easier, from a tasty kids’ menu filled with favourites, to high chairs for the little ones, games for all to play and quick QR code ordering so you don’t have to juggle menus or wait in line.

It’s not just about eating out, it’s about making family time simple, stress-free, and fun. Whether it’s a laid-back lunch after school sports, a family dinner by the bay, or a casual weekend catch-up, we’re here to make sure everyone leaves happy.
