Maraboon Tavern

Right next door — and better than ever.

The Maraboon Tavern is Emerald’s favourite local, and after a recent refurbishment it’s looking and feeling better than ever. Whether you’re after a hearty pub meal, a cold drink in the sun, or a fun afternoon with the kids, it’s all right on your doorstep.

The freshly refreshed Bistro serves up pub classics and modern favourites — perfectly grilled steaks, crispy schnitzels, loaded burgers, fresh salads, and seasonal specials. There’s a dedicated kids’ menu, regular food promotions, and plenty of seating indoors and out on the new Terrace. Great for a casual lunch, a family dinner, or a bite after work. Bookings recommended on weekends.

The all-new outdoor bar and open-air Beer Garden is the perfect spot to kick back with a cold drink and soak up the Queensland sunshine. Catch live music on the new Truck Stage, cheer on your team on Emerald’s biggest outdoor sports screen, or just relax with mates over a cold one. The bar is stocked with a wide range of local and international beers, wines, and spirits. And while you unwind, the kids can burn off some energy in the brand-new Nature Play Area right on site.

Test your skills on the brand-new custom 9-hole Mini Golf course — a fun option for all ages, whether you’re settling some friendly bragging rights or just looking for something a little different. Perfect for families, groups, or a casual round after dinner.

Stocking one of the largest ranges in Emerald, the Maraboon Liquor Drive-Thru is open daily and couldn’t be more convenient. Perfect for grabbing your favourite drinks on the way back to the room. Takeaways are also available over the Tavern bar until midnight every night.

Located at the corner of Hospital Road and Esmond Street — just steps from the Motor Inn. Enjoy dinner and drinks, then walk straight back to your room.
