ABOUT THE PUB WITH NO BEER
The story of The Pub with No Beer dates back to the 1940s, when a local legend and wartime beer shortage inspired the poem that later became Slim Dusty’s hit song.
The pub itself has stood proudly in Taylors Arm for over a century, serving as a gathering place for locals, travellers, and music lovers alike. Over the years, it’s become a cultural landmark, celebrating the spirit of mateship and the legacy of one of Australia’s most beloved country tunes.

THE CHURCH
Also on the grounds is the beautifully restored old church, a charming piece of local history that adds to the unique character of our venue.
