The Bower Tavern

Generous country hospitality meets serious pub classics in Cohuna, where massive plates leave no one hungry. Travelers stopping along King George Street settle in front for midday sun or head inside for genuine, easygoing care. The kitchen treats everyday cravings with surprising attention—turning out proper egg-sauced carbonara, slow-braised lamb shanks over real mash, and a towering surf-and-turf loaded with seafood. Dietary requests receive rare patience here, spanning gluten-free parmas to salt-free preparations, while upstairs, the quiet Meanders Room opens onto a balcony overlooking town. Diners often trade tips on pacing yourself through the cheesy garlic bread so you can handle a crisp chicken schnitzel alongside an ice-cold beer.
