The bull will take pride of place on the Crawford St side of the hotel today from 5pm to 8pm and Saturday 1- 5pm (weather permitting, indoors if the weather is poor).
Hotel owner Anthony MacDonald said the local pub was looking for ways to help promote local events in Queanbeyan and make use of its central location to help build tourism to the region.
"I understand the rodeo gives all money raised to local charities, so whatever we can do to help promote the fact that the rodeo's coming to Queanbeyan, we're happy to do," he said.
"It's a family event. We'll have a rodeo clown on hand to assist, and if nothing else it should be a bit of fun ahead of the rodeo weekend."
