About Toogoolawah Hotel

This 1926 timber pub serves massive plates and straightforward country hospitality just off the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail. Cyclists and road-trippers stop in for upstairs verandah rooms, ice-cold taps, and dinner plates piled high enough to defeat hearty appetites. Patrons point to the Stockman’s parmigiana—smothered in bacon, gravy, and truffle mash—alongside thick-cut aged rumps and bundled multi-course specials ending in warm sticky date pudding.

  • Loaded pub classics: Hefty portions anchor the menu, from schnitzels perched over fresh vegetables to the Stockman’s parmi layered with mushrooms and truffle mash.
  • Hearty dinner specials: Diners look out for weekday steak deals, bargain Monday pizzas, and full multi-course dinner packages that bundle a drink and dessert.
  • Classic 1926 rail-trail stay: Clean upstairs rooms offer shared renovated amenities, private verandah nooks, and quick access for cyclists touring the rail trail.

    A preserved 1926 country establishment delivering authentic pub atmosphere uncompromised by chain hotel styling.

    Loved this old school pub. They cook real food, have a real front bar and real locals.

Practical advice on portions, room access, and group seating for your visit
