Tailem Bend Hotel – Historic Country Hospitality Since 1902

Proudly standing in the heart of Tailem Bend’s main street, the Tailem Bend Hotel is a charming country pub steeped in history, first licensed in 1902. Conveniently located just over an hour from Adelaide, it’s the perfect stop for lunch, dinner, or a refreshing drink—especially for visitors heading to or from The Bend Motorsport Park.

Owners Frank and Alison Dean—who first owned the hotel more than 30 years ago—returned in 2017 with a vision to restore the hotel’s heritage while creating a welcoming, family-friendly space for locals and travellers alike.

Inside, the hotel offers a fully equipped front bar with TAB facilities, a saloon bar ideal for relaxed dining and drinks, a lively gaming room with 17 machines, and a spacious dining room that seats up to 70 guests. Whether you’re after a casual meal or planning a private function, the team can create a tailored menu to suit your occasion.

Enjoy classic country pub meals served with a generous buffet-style salad and vegetable bar, included with every main. The hotel’s much-loved Wednesday Steak Night and Thursday Schnitzel Night have become local favourites, offering great value and hearty flavours.

In addition to great meals and atmosphere, the hotel also serves the region as a Liquor Legends outlet, offering a wide range of beer, wine, cider, spirits, and RTDs at competitive prices. With a single-lane drive-through, it’s convenient and quick to stock up—and joining the free rewards program gives you access to exclusive specials.

Whether you’re stopping in for a feed, planning a celebration, or just passing through, the Tailem Bend Hotel is a destination that delivers warm hospitality, great food, and genuine local character.
