The Highest Bar in the Northern Territory, Outback Australia!
The historic Larrimah Hotel is known for its down to earth hospitality, pink panthers, giant stubby and an eclectic collection of bits and pieces from all over. This is a fair dinkum outback pub experience and is world famous having been ranked in the Top Ten Outback Pubs.
We are located on the Stuart Highway, 534 km south of Darwin and 177 km south of Katherine. Come in and meet our great team and stop for a beer, a chat, a feed and camp the night or stay in one of our motel rooms.
Visit the Emus Elliott and Elsey, and the Crocs Sneaky Sam and Agro and the Larrimah WW2 Heritage Museum across the road.
We hope to see you soon!

Back in the 1960’s, a puddle formed out the front of the pub. This puddle grew and grew and became known as ‘Larrimah Lake’. At the time, the pub was a very busy place drawing lots of patrons working on the railway and driving trucks. The publican at the time decided to sit a giant pink panther on the edge of the ‘lake’ with a fishing rod! The pink panther would often disappear with the owners receiving a ransom note for its safe return, or turning up on a pub roof in Tennant Creek.
This larrikin behaviour became known through the bush telegraph and spread. And so, an icon was born.
