Local tip
The Buzz Bar at the front of the hotel is a practical stop for takeaway coffee, smoothies or a quick snack.

Gateway Hotel occupies a prominent spot at 123 Byrnes Street in Mareeba, bringing the character of a Queensland country pub together with a refreshed, contemporary setting. The venue retains the feel of a longstanding local meeting place while offering air-conditioned interiors, a public bar, a beer garden, a gaming area and family-friendly facilities.

Dining is centred on Stockman’s Grill, where the menu follows a modern pub style with an emphasis on local Tablelands produce. The kitchen covers a broad range of preferences, from share plates and fresh salads to steaks and familiar pub meals. A children’s menu and regular-value specials make the restaurant suitable for family dining, while the relaxed setting also works for casual lunches, dinners and catch-ups. Lunch and dinner are served every day.

The public bar provides a straightforward place for an after-work drink, an afternoon catch-up or a relaxed session with friends. Drinks include beer on tap, wine and spirits, with entertainment and sporting occasions forming part of the venue’s social calendar. The beer garden adds an outdoor option, while the air-conditioned areas offer a comfortable alternative in warmer weather.

At the front of the hotel, Buzz Bar operates as a coffee and takeaway stop. Alongside Vittoria coffee, the offering includes smoothies, ice cream, protein shakes, frozen yoghurt and healthy wraps. It suits an early coffee run, a quick refreshment break or a lighter takeaway option while travelling through the Cairns region.

Gateway Hotel also caters for organised gatherings, with the venue accommodating functions such as birthday dinners, work events, children’s parties, wakes and wedding receptions. Stockman’s Grill can provide catering suited to the occasion. With dining, drinks, entertainment, family spaces and event facilities in one Mareeba venue, Gateway Hotel suits local catch-ups, family meals, casual visitors and group occasions.
