Hullo from Tallarook Hotel.
A country pub and beer garden one hour north of Melbourne (or a two-minute stroll from Tallarook station).
Come for a meal, enjoy a drink and stay in town for some country goodness.
A bistro and bar in Regional Victoria hosting pub classics, local beer, a pool room and the choice of indoor or outside dining.
A 100m walk to the train station makes us an ideal bookend to the Great Victorian Rail Trail, too.
Just exploring this part of the world? Kick things off at our pub then make your way around via Within106.

Inaugurated in 1871, Tallarook Hotel has been struck by lightning, burnt down, caught fire again, had lavs built inside without permission, yet here she still stands serving the community.
In 2019 Tripadvisor user Vegieburger said our place was “absolute crap” but we like to think we’ve improved.
This is all to say, our pub is in transition. We’re always working on something new and you’re likely to see it when you’re here next.
Meet our custodian, Tim.
Raised on the west coast, militarily trained on the east and having spent 20 years gaining hospitality experience all over the world, he’s a part of the furniture now.
Tim loves a chat. Say “hello” if you see him around.
