Meringandan Hotel, Meringandan

It’s hard to know where to look at this pub with camels in the back paddock, goats at the window ordering a beer, and steaks so big they take up the whole plate. One of Toowoomba’s best-known country pubs, the Meringandan Hotel serves cold beer and massive meals from 10 am daily. The paddock full of goats, lambs, chickens, and camels will keep the kids amused while you polish off some of the biggest meals across the Darling Downs region. Big smiles and a friendly welcome, it doesn’t get more country than this.
