Best Known For

Watch the sun set over the Tweed River with an ice-cold beer at Tumbulgum Tavern on Riverside Drive in Tumbulgum. This Northern Rivers dining destination oozes rustic charm with a balcony, verandah and alfresco deck for chilling out with family and friends; there’s even a playground with swings, slides and gardens to keep the kids occupied. With live music on Friday and Sunday, this is the ideal watering hole for lazing away time with a dish from an extensive menu featuring starters such as grilled scallops with miso butter and fried shallots, or crispy pork belly bites with Indonesian soy glaze. For the main, devour crumbed lamb cutlets with beer-battered chips and salad, or char-grilled Scotch fillet, topped with garlic cream King prawns and sides of creamy mash and steamed vegetables.
