Ettamogah Hotel is a large Aussie-themed hotel named after a pub born in the vivid imagination of Ken Maynard when he drew cartoons for “The Australasian Post” magazine from 1959 until the magazine closed in 1997.

On the left-hand side of Windsor Road, the distinctive outward-bulging walls with an old truck parked carelessly on the roof is a sure guide to turn left and park in front of the modern Ettamogah Pub opened in 1987.

There are a few bars inside the Ettamogah Hotel. The Ettamogah Sports Bar has 16 different beers and ciders on tap and a platinum TAB Area with Keno and Adjoining VIP gaming lounge.

The Deck Bar is a large indoor / outdoor setting popular with families on weekends. A recent addition to this area is a rock climbing wall which kids seem to love. Drinks can be ordered without leaving the kids and when we were there several tables had 3 generations laughing and enjoying meals from the nearby bistro.
