Pinnacle Family Hotel will likely close for business over the weekend as the freehold owners take back control.
Freehold owner Andrew Guthrie says it comes as a “massive, massive shock” but they must step in to protect what is a Mackay and Queensland icon.
“We ran that pub for nearly 17 years,” Mr Guthrie said.
“It’s an icon.”
Mr Guthrie, who also owns O’Sheas Hotel in Walkerston, said the hotel’s famous pies, big crumbed steaks and more would all soon be back on the menu once the takeover was complete. The pies served up at the Pinnacle Family Hotel are world-famous. Picture: File
