The hotel is putting on several events during October, including a trivia night and concert, to raise awareness and money for breast cancer.
Owner Mark Elliot said he was inspired by pub patron Kathryn Wright, who is battling breast cancer.
"I have suffered with cancer myself and I beat it," he said.
"I know what she is going through and financially the strain.
"I put it to her that we raise money and October being Breast Cancer awareness month it was the perfect fit."
Mr Elliot said the fundraising events included a trivia night on October 16 and Band Aid for Breast Cancer on October 25, which would go from 1pm to midnight.
"It will be all local bands, who have all put up their time for free," he said.
All funds raised will go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation and Jane McGrath Foundation.
Mr Elliot said the hotel was looking for volunteers for the October 25 event.
"We are hoping to get around 200 people through the doors but we need some help," he said.
Entry costs is $10 for adults, $5 for people aged under 15 and free for under 12s.
