Nobby’s Rudd’s Pub, outside Toowoomba, hits market through SGW Hotel Brokers

A 130-year-old icon of the Darling Downs, which sells more than 1000 meals a week, has hit the market in a rare property opportunity.

One of the Toowoomba region’s most iconic pubs that sells more than 1000 meals a week has hit the market, with the agent saying he is certain it will change hands.

Rudd’s Pub in Nobby has been listed for sale through SGW Hotel Brokers, with the campaign offering up the venue, four self-contained accommodation units and a neighbouring detached dwelling.

Built in 1893 and named after the famous Australian poet Steele Rudd, who lived in Nobby between 1909 and 1917, the famous pub is a popular tourism attraction due to its hospitality and unique wall ornamentations.

The pub itself features a front bar, restaurant, beer garden, function area, four gaming machines, solar panels and even a large generator.

Selling agent Scott Williams said the current owner had invested heavily into restumping the pub along with upgrading the structure.

“This has been restumped, it’s got all new timber deck, the boards have been replaced, it’s got solar power — everything in the pub is in amazing condition,” he said.

“It’s a major tourism attraction, it’s won state and national hoteliers awards over the years, which is pretty amazing.

“They do 1000 meals a week, which for a little country pub is amazing.

“The accommodation is unique because there are only four rooms, but they’re like stand-alone little houses.”

Mr Williams said Rudd’s Pub hosted about eight weddings a year and countless parties and work functions.

“I’m confident the successful buyer will buy it as a trophy — it’s probably sold once in the past 25 years,” he said.

The pub was originally called the Davenporter, renamed in the 1980s to recognise the town’s most famous son in politician George Davenport before being rebranded in Steele Rudd’s memory.

Previous owner Robyn Little said in 2017 the venue was as much as a museum as it was a pub.

“It unfolds like a deck of cards, it keeps going and going,” she told News Corp at the time.
