Imperial Hotel Eumundi







Without doubt the Imperial Hotel is probably the best Pub in Australia, when it comes to what you want from a 'local' then this place ticks all the boxes. This ripper Pub is nestled in the Noosa Hinterlands of Eumundi, which is just a lazy 15 minute drive down the road to the beaut beaches of Noosa.







The Imperial has pretty well everything that you need in a Pub, for starters you have the beaut looking sheilahs from just up

the road from Noose, who normally pop into the Markets that are held every Saturday just across the road. You also have your Backpackers on walkabout who always seem to make it to Eumundi, and ofcause the normal local trade of young sheilahs. The bar has the nice feel of a local with a fair bit of Pub memorabilia, and is just right to sit back and enjoy the scenery. You also have the normal stuff like a couple of pool tables, Juke box, One arm bandits (Pokies) and of-cause did I mention the beaut clientèle!

And when it came to tucker time this place is just mouth watering, it's got all your normal food and the counter meal that I fed on was just spot-on. But to be true it's hard to stuff up a chic ken schnitzel mate, but it was still up there with some of the best I've rapped my tongue around. Of-cause if your tripping through Queensland then you should give the local grub a go, and everyone was saying that the grilled baramundi so just spot-on. That night their was a band going off in the beer garden and so their was a good quality of sheilahs about, and the beer was going down real quick... but thats the tropical night air of Queensland that people from all over the world comes to this place to experience, and if your going to have a drink in Queensland then theres not a better place then here.



Now okay it was over ten years ago that I went walkabout thought this ripper Queenslan d town, and when I was their they had their own microbrewery up and going. Brewing their own beer called Eumundi Lager, which was a hit with the local trade and became a ripper exporter to the US. But over the years sadly the brewing has shut down, and now you have to drink the normal stuff but it's still a ripper place. That night I remember drinking way to many of Eumundi lagers, and was a fairdinkum stretcher case by the time I hit the road. I st aggered up the track to the local Eumundi caravan park, which is on Memorial drive and is a nice little place to have a nap. But during the afternoon I had a beaut time just sitting back with the locals downing coldies, with the music in the background and a never ending scenery of Backpackers and good looking locals. Yours truly was in his element and I just sat back and went with it, the night was great and with a walk up the road to Joes Waterhole just finished one of the greatest drinking nights of my life..... Lifes hard.
