Atherton Hotel

Atherton Hotel is a longstanding Australian pub on Main Street in Atherton, serving as a dining, drinks, entertainment and accommodation venue for the Tablelands community. Locally known as “The Stump”, the hotel combines a family bistro with a sports bar and spaces for functions, making it suitable for everyday meals, casual drinks, group occasions and local stays.

The Family Bistro offers a broad pub-style menu designed for different ages and preferences. Dishes include fresh seafood, steaks, pasta, salads and familiar pub classics, with separate choices for children and seniors. The venue also places emphasis on local producers and sustainable sourcing. The dining room is intended to accommodate families and friends, with a relaxed setting and service suited to both casual meals and larger gatherings.

The Sports Bar has a more modern, social atmosphere, with multiple television screens showing sport across the room. It offers beer on tap alongside spirits, cider and wine, while a shorter food menu provides pub favourites for a quick meal or something to share with mates. Pool tables, gaming machines and TAB facilities add to the bar’s entertainment options.

Atherton Hotel also caters for private and community occasions. The function room can be arranged for birthdays, weddings, engagements, conferences and other events, with layouts designed for groups ranging from 15 to 300 people. Accommodation is available on site, extending the venue’s role beyond dining and drinks.

For visitors travelling through the Atherton Tablelands from Cairns, the hotel provides a straightforward local pub experience in Atherton, with family dining, sport, group facilities and rooms all gathered under one roof. It suits families looking for an easy meal, friends meeting for a drink, sports followers wanting a place to watch a match and organisers seeking a flexible local function venue.
