A Corner Pub in the heart of Gympie.

1
Over 48 pubs sprung to life at one time or another on Mary Street, with 28 of them being open at the one time !

The original Hotel and theatre, then called the Exchange Hotel and Varieties Theatre, was one of these.

1
In 1882 it was re- built into a two story timber structure designed by architect Hugo Darietz. The Varieties Hotel and Theatre was again hailed as the most popular venue in town.

1
In 1885 its name was changed to the Royal Hotel. The Varieties Theatre kept operating successfully in a building attached to the back of the Hotel.

In 1910 the name was changed again. It was now the Theatre Royal and still the hub of entertainment for Gympie.
