Boomerang Hotel Reveals New Beer Garden

Brand-New Outdoor Space Perfect For Family Dining, Live Music & Weekend Sessions

Much-loved Mackay local, Boomerang Hotel, unveiled a brand-new beer garden this week, expanding its footprint and creating a fresh new space for locals to eat, drink and connect.

The transformation has been designed with Mackay’s warm weather in mind and compliments the bistro, sports bar, gaming room and accommodation - a new area to relax and dine year-round.

Offering a welcoming atmosphere, the beer garden features astroturf, lush landscaping, and a mix of seating options to cater to groups of all shapes and sizes. The big screens are ideal for those who want to enjoy al-fresco dining and refreshments without missing any live sporting action.

Families with young children can now enjoy a brand-new kids’ playground that is sure to keep the little ones entertained - allowing parents to relax and enjoy their time at Boomerang Hotel.

The beer garden is complete with shade and cooling solutions to ensure it is enjoyable whatever the weather.  The dynamic space is ideal for any occasion including casual drinks, family gatherings, laid-back lunches or weekend social sessions.

The menu will be the same as the main pub and bistro, with all the classics including a grill section of delectable steaks, parmi, burgers and more, as well as a starter section that’s perfect for sharing.

Guests can look forward to weekend entertainment and pop-up events that will include:
● Live music every Friday and Saturday
● Kids’ entertainment every Sunday
● Monthly petting zoo

“We’re so excited to welcome everyone to the Boomerang Hotel’s new beer garden,” says Venue Manager Sue Notting.

“This new outdoor space brings a fresh energy to the venue, adding to the approachable local feel people love. It’s a space where families can relax, friends can catch up over drinks, and everyone can enjoy live music and great food outdoors.

“The Boomerang Hotel has long been known for its friendly atmosphere and community spirit, and the new beer garden creates a dynamic outdoor hub that caters to everyone, from individual diners to groups, all-year round.”

To celebrate the opening of the beer garden, locals enjoyed a welcome weekend from Friday 14th – Sunday 16th November that’s packed with something for everyone. Across the three days, the community enjoyed live music, kids’ entertainment, roving canapes, meat tray raffles and giveaways.

The Boomerang Hotel’s new beer garden is set to become Mackay’s go-to spot for weekend entertainment, family lunches, and sunny afternoon sessions.
