Ettamogah Pub, Cartoon-themed pub in Table Top, New South Wales, Australia
Ettamogah Pub is a themed pub in Table Top, New South Wales, built with sloping walls and curved architectural elements inspired by cartoon design. It features seventeen accommodation cabins, a restaurant serving traditional pub food, and multiple spaces for dining and entertainment throughout the day.
The original establishment was built in 1987 by businessman Lindsay Cooper as the first location in a series of themed pubs across Australia. The design was based on Ken Maynard's cartoons that appeared in the Australasian Post magazine.
The pub embodies Australian humor and creativity through its deliberately quirky building design that defies conventional architecture. Visitors experience the cartoonist's vision translated directly into the physical space they walk through, making the building itself a form of artistic expression.
The location is best reached by car in the rural countryside with plenty of parking available directly at the property. Visitors should allow enough time to explore both the unusual building exterior and enjoy facilities inside at their own pace.
A vintage 1927 Chevrolet is permanently mounted on the roof, referencing a fictional flood from the original cartoon series. This unexpected detail makes the roofline itself part of the story visitors discover while exploring.
