Police say a man who took a loaded gun into a Brisbane bar also had cash, drugs and ammunition in his hotel room.

A man who took a loaded gun into a Brisbane bar also had drugs, cash and ammunition in his hotel room, police say.

Officers noticed the man acting suspiciously when they went to the Queen Street bar about 3pm on Sunday.

They found a loaded gun dumped on the floor where he'd been standing and a search of his hotel room later uncovered a haul of cash and drugs, as well as spare ammunition.

He's facing a range of weapon and drug charges and will face the Brisbane Magistrates Court on June 30.

A woman who was with him at the bar is also accused of possessing drug-related equipment. She'll face court at a later date.
