This Friday at the Merinda.

just dropped her brand new album last week and she's bringing it straight to our stage. If you haven't heard her yet — you're about to find out what all the fuss is about.

Acoustic folk, raw originals, and one of those voices that makes the whole room go quiet. This is the kind of night you tell people about afterwards.
From 7pm. Super Specials from 4 to 6 to kick things off. The Merry Linda courtesy bus is running — call the pub to book.

Don't sleep on this one Bowen. Get down here.

🍺 FROTHY EVERY DAYZ.
Knocked off work? Get a coldie in ya.
Just pulled the boat in? Crack a tinnie.
Dried off from a swim? Grab a frostie.
Reeled in the last cast? Time for a liquid amber.
Done a big day of absolutely nothing? Mate, you've STILL earned a sherbet.
Every weekday, 4 'til 6 — let's just say the frothies don't cost as much as they usually do. 😏
See you at the bar. 🤙

Last time it was 80s night and this lot turned up in full costume. Croquet mallets. Leg warmers. Tutus. The works.

We’re not saying they set the bar… but they absolutely set the bar.

This Friday is Ladies Night Karaoke at the Merinda and we want to know — can you upstage them with your vocals?

Because the outfits were a 10. But we haven’t heard them sing yet.

Friday 19th June from 7pm. Cocktails flowing. Specials for the ladies. The Merry Linda courtesy bus is running.

Get your crew together and come prove something. Tag someone who talks a big game but chokes on the first verse.

Found this in the archives, thanks to Lu Odger . Merinda Hotel, 1974. 🍺

Fifty years ago, this room was packed with Bowen locals — cold beers, good company, and not a worry in the world about what came next.

Some of these names are written on the bottom. Some of them we recognise. But we're new to Bowen, and we reckon this town knows exactly who every single person in this photo is.

So we're asking — who's in this photo? Tag them. Tag their families. Share it with someone who was there.

Because this is what the Merinda has always been. A place where Bowen shows up.
Some things never change. 🍺

You've met the legends. You've heard the yarns. You've seen what this beer is really about.
Now here's the full story — from the beginning. 🍺

Every face in this video is someone from this community. Every word is real. And every cold Merinda Lager poured at the pub is a reminder that the simple act of showing up for your mates can mean everything.

A huge thank you to everyone who has shared their yarn, shown their support, and helped spread the word. This community never stops surprising us — and that's exactly why we made this beer, and what makes this pub!

Watch it. Share it. Tag the mate you've been meaning to check in on.
