Bridge Tavern Nowra is located in the city of Nowra. The newly refurbished Bridge Tavern is becoming a favourite place for those informal celebrations because it combines a great venue with good value meals and snacks, affordable drinks (including an espresso machine for great coffee) and has facilities for juke box, Karaoke, live music and more.

The Bridge Tavern, or as it was originally known, The Central Hotel, was built after approval was given to Henry Moss in 1885, for a "large and elegant finished two storey hotel". The brick hotel had five bedrooms and a parlour upstairs. Downstairs were the public parlour bar, kitchen, dining room, spirit room and tap room where beer was stored.

The Bistro is popular too as it combines a modern, fresh setting, comfortable lounge area, air conditioning, a Plasma screen and of course, Bistro food at very reasonable prices. You can still get a huge Snitzel, Salad, Chips and sauce meal for $8! And we’re known for our great value Steaks cooked to order, served with a fresh mixed leaf salad, homemade dressing, chips if desired and a choice of sauces – all for $16. Or you can have the steak with freshly cooked vegetables and your choice of sauce, for the same low price. We are introducing new meals – especially through the week. Wendy has regular chef’s specials to tempt you and vegetarians and vegans are catered for. Depending on produce you might find a fresh, marinara pasta, herbed lamb straps, minted, braised shanks, a curry, a tender chicken dish, fresh fish, vegetable strudel.

Like the beer garden, the bistro can be booked for special functions. The undercover beer garden is heated and seats up to 80 and has a pool table, BBQ and smoker’s area if needed. It even has some low settings for littl’uns. This can be used informally for functions or can be booked if you want the whole area to yourself and you have the numbers. We can provide bistro food, special BBQs etc or finger foods. Drop in and speak to Mark or Wendy so that your individual needs can be met.
