The Ettamogah Pub is a cartoon pub that was featured in the now defunct Australasian Post magazine. The cartoonist Ken Maynard, loving empty spaces and having nothing around him, enjoyed an area just outside Albury at Table Top, New South Wales, named Ettamogah, [lower-alpha 1] thus christening the eponymous name of his now famous pub the "Ettamogah Pub". The "Ettamogah Pub" chain of such pubs now exist in various parts of Australia including Sydney in New South Wales, and Cunderdin in Western Australia.

Contents

Albury

The pub was built by businessman Lindsay Cooper and first opened in 1987. [2] The aim was to create a themed family restaurant which would become a tourist attraction. [3] The timber building featured sloping walls and a distinctive architectural style true to the original cartoon design.

In 2007, the hotel in Albury opened 17 new cabins for accommodation. [4] The site also houses the Ken Maynard Museum and an artwork collection. In 2011, the owner Leigh O’Brien announced plans for a $3 million redevelopment which included the addition of a caravan park and petrol station. [5]

Sunshine Coast

The second Ettamogah Pub opened at the Aussie World theme park at Palmview on the Sunshine Coast in 1989. [2] It was opened by then Premier Mike Ahern. Construction took nine months and it cost $4.5 million. [6] A 1927 Chevrolet sits atop the roof of the building. This follows a flood in the cartoon after which the owners couldn't be bothered to remove the vehicle. [6] To celebrate its 21st year of operations the pub began brewing and selling its own beer. [7]

In 2014, following a dispute over intellectual property rights, this pub has since changed its name and removed any of the cartoon likenesses. [8] In 2018, the pub underwent a substantial redevelopment project which included more than 500 square metres of decking around the front and sides of the building. [9]

Cunderdin

A third pub opened in the Western Australian wheat belt town of Cunderdin in 2001. [2]

Sydney

The Ettamogah Pub in Sydney, is located on the corner of Merriville and Windsor roads, Kellyville Ridge. It is a copy of the original Ettamogah Pub from Table Top and was opened in 2003. [2] Although the appearance from the outside is a copy of the original the similarities end at the surface as the pub itself (the bar/drinking area) is inside the metal shed like structure adjoined to the rear of the wooden 'pub'. The wooden building is a 'walk through' entrance to the metal shed behind and doesn't share many similarities at all with the original beyond the outside appearance.

Pub Establishment that serves alcoholic drinks

A pub is an establishment licensed to serve alcoholic drinks for consumption on the premises. The term public house first appeared in the late 17th century, and was used to differentiate private houses from those which were, quite literally, open to the public as 'alehouses', 'taverns' and 'inns'. By Georgian times it had become common parlance, although taverns, as a distinct establishment, had largely ceased to exist by the beginning of the 19th century. Today, pubs have no strict definition, but CAMRA states a pub has four characteristics:

  1. is open to the public without membership or residency
  2. serves draught beer or cider without requiring food be consumed
  3. has at least one indoor area not laid out for meals
  4. allows drinks to be bought at a bar

Drinking establishment Business

A drinking establishment is a business whose primary function is the serving of alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises. Some establishments may also serve food, or have entertainment, but their main purpose is to serve alcoholic beverages. There are different types of drinking establishment ranging from seedy bars or nightclubs, sometimes termed "dive bars", to 5,000 seat beer halls and elegant places of entertainment for the elite. A public house, informally known as a "pub", is an establishment licensed to serve alcoholic drinks for consumption on the premises in countries and regions of British influence. Although the terms are increasingly used to refer to the same thing, there is a difference between pubs, bars, inns, taverns and lounges where alcohol is served commercially. A tavern or pot-house is, loosely, a place of business where people gather to drink alcoholic beverages and, more than likely, also be served food, though not licensed to put up guests. The word derives from the Latin taberna and the Greek ταβέρνα/taverna.
