Beer, pokies and good food
CAIRNS has always loved a good yarn, a cold beer and a proper value feed – and you’ll find all three any day of the week at the Cock & Bull.
Enjoy all day dining, seven days for lunch and dinner, welcoming salty fisherman and snorkellers fresh off the Reef, locals chasing a hearty meal and travellers looking for a true North Queensland pub experience.
The Iconic Cock & Bull has served many locals and tourists since 1988. With plenty of free and easy on-site parking. Dropping in is never a hassle.
Home to the famous Barra Bar and Cairns Game Fishing Club, with one of the world’s biggest big fish displays, it’s where tall tales meet local pints, where you can settle in around numerous 1000lb-plus marlin mounts while watching every sport until 5.30am.
The Barra Bar is also where the best of local breweries are showcased.
Say G’day to the Australian drinking team, the city’s most laid back, loud-laughing, beer- backing tribe, born right here inside the Cock & Bull. Our mascots – the shark, barra, boar, marlin, croc and roo, all have a unique taste and tell a different story.
Check out the newly-renovated gaming room, where the action never stops – open from 10am to 5.30am daily.
Enjoy the latest and greatest pokies, it’s the perfect spot to try your luck. Join the free membership for instant access to great perks, including exclusive promotions, bonus points, fuel discounts and more.
From big cash giveaways to weekly specials and hourly spins. Whether you’re a local regular or just passing through, the rewards keep rolling in.
No visit is complete without visiting the famous Carnivore Grill. This grill roars seven nights a week.
Pair a local brew with mouth-watering steaks, ribs, chops and the famous six-hour slow cooked smoked chicken wings.
For the adventurous, kangaroo and crocodile are a must try.
Well known for value tasty portions, “beasts of feasts”, and most importantly, affordability.
Don’t miss the other crowd favourites like the classic chicken parmigiana, fish and chips and many others – some recipes have not changed in 30 years.
As the festive season approaches, the Cock & Bull shines for Christmas functions and group bookings.
With multiple spaces for intimate gatherings of five or epic events up to 500, indoor-outdoor versatility and customisable packages to suit any budget. It’s the go to for corporate dos, family reunions or festive parties.
Cock & Bull: where famous feeds, local brews, big fish tales and the latest pokies collide.
