Julatten Hotel on Atherton Tablelands open with new menu

A popular watering hole in a picturesque spot on the Atherton Tablelands has thrown opens its doors, after being closed for two years, with an appealing new menu and live music.

The Julatten Hotel, which was sold to Chris Morris’ Colonial Leisure Group for $1.2m in late 2022, has thrown open its doors again after being closed since the Covid pandemic hit in 2020.

The move by the Morris group to revitalise the pub is curious due to the company putting the Daintree Hotel on the market in May via expressions of interest – after it was closed for a short time before opening again.

Local suppliers have contributed to a revised menu including pizzas and steaks and house specialties such as the whole tiger prawn bucket, grilled local barramundi fillets, and the Nashville chicken burger or signature Julatten Beef burger.

The drinks list centres around a huge range of tap beers and there’s a Happy Hour from 4pm Wednesday to Friday.
