The Railway Hotel in Allora, Queensland, is a notable heritage-listed establishment with a rich and colourful history. Located in the heart of Allora – known fondly as ‘the best little town on the Downs’ – the hotel first opened its doors in July 1902. 

Designed by prominent builder William Leggatt, the hotel quickly became a central hub for the community, reflecting the early 20th-century country pub style with its wide balcony and distinctive pressed metal ceilings. In 1914, the Railway Hotel entered a new chapter when it was acquired by Arthur Cameron, a veteran of the Boer War.

​

Today, the Railway Hotel continues to serve as a focal point for both locals and visitors, blending historical charm with modern comforts. Fully licensed and recently renovated, the hotel boasts a stylish beer garden, pokies, KENO, a restaurant, and comfortable accommodation. Open for lunch and dinner from Monday to Sunday, the Railway caters to both social and corporate needs, hosting everything from casual drinks with mates to club meetings and private functions for up to 130 guests across two locations.

​

With Friday night raffles at 7pm, a lively footy tipping competition, live bands throughout the year, and good old-fashioned friendly service, the Railway Hotel is a place where there’s always a local ready for a yarn. Steeped in history yet welcoming in its modern offerings, it’s the kind of friendly country pub that leaves you wanting to visit again and again.
