The Beer Garden
Emerald’s ultimate outdoor destination has arrived — and it’s everything you’ve been waiting for.
The Maraboon Beer Garden has been completely transformed into a stunning, all-weather oasis that’s built for the whole community. Whether you’re after a cold one after work, a big night out with mates, or a relaxed family afternoon in the sun, this is the space for it. With live entertainment, epic sports viewing, great food, and something for the kids too — the Beer Garden at MBT is in a league of its own.
Ready for some bragging rights? Challenge your mates, your partner, or the kids to a high-stakes round on our custom-designed, 9-hole Maraboon Mini Golf course! It’s the perfect addition to a family day out or a weekend session with friends.
Stadium vibes, right here in Emerald. Our monster outdoor LED screen brings the biggest moments in sport, racing, and live events to life in a way you’ve never experienced at a pub before. Feel the crowd energy, hear every moment, and watch the action unfold on a screen so big, you’ll forget you’re not there. From State of Origin to the Melbourne Cup, UFC fight nights to the footy finals — if it’s on, we’re showing it.
Cold drinks, no detours. Our brand-new outdoor Garden Bar is right where you need it — in the heart of the action. Pull up a stool and order an ice-cold draught beer, a crisp glass of wine, or a refreshing cocktail without ever having to step inside. The Garden Bar is the beating heart of the Beer Garden experience, keeping the good times going from the first sip to the last.
Live music hits different out here. The Truck Stage is the centrepiece of the Maraboon Beer Garden — a custom-built, one-of-a-kind stage that celebrates Emerald’s proud heavy industry and agricultural heritage. Every weekend it comes alive with incredible local musicians, high-energy live bands, and the legendary Maraboon Sunday Sessions. Whether you’re dancing up front or soaking it all in from your seat, the Truck Stage delivers an atmosphere you simply won’t find anywhere else in regional Queensland.
The ultimate win-win for families. Our brand-new Nature Play Area is a dedicated, safe space where the kids can run wild, explore, and burn off some energy — while the grown-ups kick back, relax, and enjoy everything the Beer Garden has to offer. No more compromising on a great day out. At Maraboon Tavern, the whole family is taken care of.
