About

Overview & Vibe

The Rocks sits at Lagoon Place on the Yeppoon foreshore, overlooking the town lagoon and out across Keppel Bay to the islands. It is a bar and restaurant first, hired out whole or in part for weddings, and its interior is the draw as much as the view — leather and velvet, Moroccan tiles, gold, and a sculptural rod ceiling that runs the length of the room.

Setting & Style

Open-plan restaurant and bar with a large deck opening to the water. The Restaurant takes seated dining, the Lounge is the casual end with couches, and the two can be combined as whole-venue hire. Everything faces the lagoon and the bay.

Ideal For

Couples wanting a reception with a genuine view and a serious kitchen, at the intimate end of the scale — this is a hundred-guest venue at most.

The Need-to-Knows

Venue hire is published: Lounge $3,000, Restaurant $8,000, Whole Venue $10,000 — with the venue's own caveat that “these prices are variable and are subject to event scope and numbers.”
Food is $99 per person for two courses, $110 for three. The chef will design a personalised menu, including the wedding cake.
The seated numbers do not agree with each other. The weddings section says the restaurant can cater for up to 70 seated; the capacity section on the same page says the restaurant seats up to 60 and the lounge holds up to 50. Cocktail capacity is given once, as 100. Confirm the seated number before planning tables.
This is a reception venue, not a ceremony one — the page describes holding “your wedding reception” and names no ceremony site. The lagoon foreshore is public land immediately outside.
A nice touch, and the venue's own: “We engrave all our bride and grooms' names along with their wedding date onto our ceiling decorations.”
A courtesy bus runs pick-ups and drop-offs on request, and lagoon parking is free before 8:30am and after 5pm, $2/hour otherwise.

Standout Feature

A rod-sculpture ceiling over the bay — with your names engraved into it afterwards.

Price Notes

VENUE HIRE IS PUBLISHED, WITH THE VENUE'S OWN CAVEAT: 'Lounge - $3,000. Restaurant - $8,000. Whole Venue - $10,000. Please note these prices are variable and are subject to event scope and numbers.' Food is charged on top at $99 per person for two courses or $110 for three; beverages are separate again.
THE SEATED CAPACITY CONTRADICTS ITSELF ON ONE PAGE. The weddings section: 'For a sit down dining experience in the restaurant we can cater for up to 70 guests.' The capacity block below it: 'The Rocks Restaurant lends itself to an intimate event where up to 60 people may be seated.' Both are the venue's own words on the same page. The cocktail figure of 100 appears once and is not contradicted. Confirm the seated number before planning tables.
IT IS A RECEPTION VENUE RATHER THAN A CEREMONY ONE. The wedding text describes holding 'your wedding reception' and names no ceremony location; ceremony_space_type is recorded NULL. The venue sits on the Yeppoon Lagoon foreshore, which is public land.
AN UNUSUAL INCLUSION, IN THE VENUE'S OWN WORDS: 'We engrave all our bride and grooms' names along with their wedding date onto our ceiling decorations, ensuring your celebration becomes an unforgettable part of The Rocks' history.'
PRACTICALITIES: 'The Rocks Bar and Restaurant have a courtesy bus available to pick up and drop off. Please phone us to enquire in regards to availability.' Parking at the Lagoon is free before 8:30am and after 5pm and $2/hour at other times, with free parking around the Skate Park.
A 2021 WINE MENU PDF IS STILL SERVED at /wp-content/uploads/2021/11/ and was not used - it is five years old and is a restaurant list rather than a wedding document.
