The Bush Inn

The Bush Inn is a historic pub with a strong connection to Southern Tasmania. Its website describes the venue as Tasmania’s oldest pub, originally built in 1815 and later restored. The setting combines a rustic brick exterior and characterful interiors with modern amenities, giving visitors the chance to experience a piece of local history while enjoying a relaxed pub atmosphere.

Food is centred on classic pub fare made with fresh Tasmanian produce sourced from local suppliers. The drinks list is described as extensive, with beer, wine and spirits from Tasmania and further afield, alongside non-alcoholic options. The venue’s focus is on straightforward hospitality, a comfortable setting and produce-led meals rather than a named signature dish.

The Bush Inn also caters for private and corporate events. Its Main Bar suits smaller gatherings, while the deck provides an outdoor setting for occasions such as weddings, birthdays, baby showers and engagement parties. For larger functions, the dining room can accommodate up to 70 guests and includes audiovisual equipment, a built-in dance floor, private bar and adaptable seating. It may suit visitors interested in historic pubs, locals seeking a regular dining spot, and groups planning a celebration or business gathering. The website gives the address as 51 Montagu Street, New Norfolk, Tasmania, while the supplied directory location lists Salamanca.
