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. Once a place of worship for the Taylors Arm community, the church now serves as a peaceful reminder of the town’s rich heritage. With its timeless architecture and tranquil setting, it's a favourite spot for visitors to explore, reflect, or even host special occasions.
