ARTESIAN HOTEL “CUZZIE BRO’S”<br />
85 Oak Street, Barcaldine<br />
@artesianhotel<br />
Barcaldine’s oldest pub dates back to 1887. It’s a live<br />
entertainment venue with a distinct Kiwi flavour in the<br />
middle of Queensland. This is sheep country after<br />
all. “Nau mai, haere mai” and welcome, as they say<br />
across the ditch.<br />
Reviews include:<br />
“Only put my head in the door to say kia ora to the two<br />
beautiful cats that were doing security...” “Great pub.<br />
Speccy place. Hang out with original signed Samantha<br />
Fox at the pool table.”<br />
COMMERCIAL HOTEL<br />
119 Oak Street, Barcaldine<br />
@CommercialHotelBarcaldine<br />
Classic old Queenslander with a heart of gold.<br />
Love darts? The “Commy” is the place to be every<br />
Wednesday. Owner Gerry Fogarty is often the man<br />
to beat since taking over the venue two years ago.<br />
There’s also pool tables, a beer garden and two-up<br />
every Anzac Day with all monies raised going to the<br />
local RSL.<br />
RAILWAY HOTEL<br />
77 Oak Street, Barcaldine<br />

With a prime view of the Tree of Knowledge<br />
monument, reviews include:<br />
“Amazing staff! They loved to have a dance with me<br />
and my choice in music! They asked me to come back<br />
to visit and I will just go see them again!”<br />
“It’s a great establishment but last night I had this dream<br />
I went to the jukebox and the only song was the Westlife<br />
version of Uptown Girl. Please don’t ruin this for me.”<br />
UNION HOTEL MOTEL<br />
