How We Bring Pubs to Life
At The Local, we’re all about celebrating the lifeblood of Australia’s communities—our iconic country pubs. We do this through four key areas:
Facebook community, where pub lovers come together to share stories, photos, and debates;
YouTube channel, where documentary-style episodes showcase the rich history, unique characters, and vibrant role of pubs in rural life today;
Paid Content Services, including stunning photography, video production, and collaborations that help pubs thrive;
Education and advocacy, championing causes like preserving historic pubs, addressing industry challenges, and highlighting the critical role pubs play in keeping communities connected.
Together, these pillars form the heart of The Local, bringing pubs, their stories, and their communities into the spotlight.

The Taproom is where the stories flow. This section of The Local brings you blog posts filled with tales from the road, behind-the-scenes moments, and insights into the pubs and people that make the Aussie bush so special.
From yarns about publicans and locals to reflections on what makes a great country watering hole, The Taproom is your spot to pull up a stool and immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of life in and around Australia’s most iconic pubs.

STOP Alcohol Excise Tax on Australian Pubs
Many pubs are now struggling to stay afloat. The imposition of the Alcohol Excise Tax has put overwhelming financial pressure on their operations, and many more will close their doors if nothing is done.
This is especially true in country and regional areas.
The irony is that these pubs provide so much support to community life BUT are rendered weaker EVERY 6 Months with NO end in sight! Sign our partition here
