Mark Patterson

Mark Patterson is a hospitality professional with over 20 years’ experience in business management, strategy and developing comprehensive systems to drive profitability. He began his career in a cocktail bar in the 80’s and was involved in the birth of the craft beer revolution in the early 90’s with Matilda Bay Brewing company in a couple of their pubs in Perth. Introducing people to European style beers with a thick dense head and served with fruit was a unique challenge, in an environment where you could only get ‘super or gold’ on tap. Later, after opening the casino in Cairns, Mr Patterson spent about 8 years working in some great resort bars through Europe and North America, coming back in the Australian winter to run ‘The Pub’ in Perisher NSW. After a couple of stints in various bars and restaurants, he came upon the opportunity to launch a new concept for Perth, The Brisbane Hotel.
