Birdsville Hotel

Birdsville Hotel Australia’s most iconic outback pub. Everyone wants to say they've had a beer at the Birdsville Hotel.

Ever since William Blair first built the Birdsville Hotel in 1884, it’s weathered sandstone walls have been a welcome refuge to travellers from across the globe for more than 130 years. A destination in its own right, the pub has endured floods, fires and even cyclones to stand as a symbol of the spirit and character of the outback. The Birdsville Hotel is steeped in history and has played a fasci

nating, yet important, part in the exploration and settlement of Australia’s desert country. Today, the iconic award-winning pub is the main focus in Birdsville at any time of the year but more so during the running of the famous annual Birdsville Races and the Big Red Bash. Courtney & Talia Ellis are the current owners and ensure the visitors to Birdsville are offered comfy accommodation, traditional pub fare, a quality wine list, ice-cold drinks and with everything else needed for an authentic outback experience. Whether you parked your car out front or your plane on the airstrip opposite, once you enter the Birdsville pub, you’ll find yourself in a place like no other—a place where you can immerse yourself in the ambience and stories told by characters as colourful as a painted desert landscape.

While we love our pets as much as you do, in fairness to everyone dining with us we do not allow pets onto the Hotel grounds or outdoor Beer Garden area during this peak period.

This is of course with exception of guide and support dogs with relevant identification.
