5 Great Aussie Pubs in the Scenic Rim, 90mins from Brisbane!

Updated: Nov 3

The Scenic Rim is the region for historic Aussie pubs and they are as diverse as the region itself! Here are five great pubs from Harrisville to Boonah, south-west of Brisbane. Ketchup's Bank Glamping is right in the heart of the Scenic Rim, with all these great pubs only a short drive away! Make a daytrip out of it or choose your favourite and settle in for a nice lunch or dinner.


The 'Dugie' as it is affectionately known is the most local pub to Ketchup's Bank Glamping and one of the oldest in the area. The beautiful Queenslander style building dates back to 1886! Classic pub menu with plenty of space to spread out.


Another 10 minutes west and you will find the lovely, quaint Kalbar and yes, another great pub! Royal Hotel Kalbar which dates back to 1900 is very popular locally and it is everything you would expect from an Aussie pub with a tasty, hearty menu.


The Royal Hotel in Harrisville is the feature of this little town. It is a classic Aussie country pub established in 1920, full of character and charm. Gorgeous vintage tram out the back too!

The Commercial is a prominent feature of Boonah's High Street and it was one of the original buildings in the main street, dating back to 1905! Grab a drink up at the bar or dine in at Park St Kitchen. Lovely light and airy dining area with a relaxed atmosphere.


This is one of the original buildings on Boonah's main street. back when it was a dirt strip with horse and carriages in 1888! And let's just say there are still quite a few original features....! If you like an authentic, traditional, nothing fancy pub, the Australian is for you. There's a large sit up bar where you can grab an ice cold beer, and decent tucker.



All these pubs are between 15 and 40 minutes from Ketchup's Blank Glamping where you can enjoy the serenity of your completely private, luxury Eco-tent or Tiny House Retreat. Head out and explore the Scenic Rim. You won't regret it!
