Great Pubs of North West Tasmania – Marrawah Tavern

The Ripcurl West Coast Classic started in 1977.   The Marrawah Tavern is a pub is a bit of a shrine to the great local surf and the people brave enough to get into it.

The walls of the tavern may be covered with surfing photos but the pub caters for everyone. It even has a family bar with the type of menu that pleases most people.

The dining room has an excellent wine list and an open fire place which is very comforting if its a bit blowy outside.

This is the pub to meet colourful characters whether they are surfing champions, abolone divers, lobster fishermen or the camping and bushwalking folk drawn to the area.

The pub has been licensed in the town of Marrawah since the 1920’s. They will sell you bottles of wine and take-away beer from the main bar.

You’ll find the Marrawah Tavern on Comeback Road in Marrawah. It won’t be hard to spot as there isn’t much else there except great views of local land and The Great Southern Ocean.

It will be taken over by new local owners in December and we are all excited about how they will develop the pub.

So check out the Marrawah when you are in the North West – they have a reputation for good meals and hospitality.
