Important hydration department

Cold enough to make
your hand complain.

Beer on tap, cold cans, spirits, mixers, premixes and zero-alcohol options — the proper drinks department of a country pub.

🍺

What’s pouring?

Rotating beers on tap, poured cold and without a three-page tasting note.

If the glass is sweating before you are, we’re doing it right.
🥃

Spirits & mixers

Your usual favourites behind the bar with soft drink, soda, tonic and mixers.

Simple mix? Fancy mix? We won’t judge. Much.
🧊

Premixed & ready

A rotating cold-cabinet range of ready-to-drink cans and bottles.

Open. Sip. Problem solved.
🥤

Not drinking?

Cold soft drinks, mixers and zero-alcohol choices.

Designated drivers still deserve something cold.
Only about 5 km off Brand Highway

Take the turn.
The good stuff is five minutes away.

Whether you’re coming out from Geraldton or heading north or south on a WA road trip, Walkaway Tavern is an easy detour for a proper feed, a cold drink and a genuine old-school country pub stop.

Five minutes beats another servo stop.

Walkaway is only around 5 km off Brand Highway. Turn off, slow down and make the road trip part of the holiday.

Cold drink. Good feed. Legs stretched.

Pull in for lunch or dinner, settle into the beer garden and enjoy a proper country-pub break before getting back on the road.

03 · Travellers welcome

Not in a hurry? Even better.

Road trippers, caravanners and holiday travellers are welcome. And we’re planning a simple one-night traveller rest option on our separate land — details below.
