A beloved local institution in New Zealand Hospitality

Lone Star Queenstown officially opened in November 1991, and has had only two owners since its inception. A beloved local institution, it has consistently generated turnover exceeding $2.6 million (including GST) for extended periods.

The restaurant is a popular destination for both locals and visitors, including tourists, school and tour groups, sports teams, and those seeking a venue for celebrations. It features two versatile function spaces, making it an ideal location for weddings, birthdays, large dining groups, and events. Lone Star Queenstown is one of the few venues in the area capable of hosting large-scale functions.

Due to significant personal changes for the current operator, marketing efforts have been minimal since the COVID-related shutdown. Prior to the pandemic, the restaurant operated with extended hours, including lunch service, and saw higher utilisation of its bar areas.

There is substantial potential for growth, including significant opportunities for future expansion in the Queenstown area.
