Why it's worth checking out
Northern Public House brings together a bar, kitchen and rooftop space in central Launceston at 124 George Street.

The kitchen takes a gastro-pub approach, offering a mix of pub classics, smaller plates, share dishes and hearty mains. The menu is built around seasonal ingredients and changes throughout the year, so the venue advises calling ahead to find out what is fresh.

Inside, the venue has several dining areas intended for different kinds of visits, from a relaxed dinner or quick bite to a longer lunch with friends.
