Franklin Tavern

Rocked up here on a Friday night and glad we did. Absolutely gorgeous owner Con looked after us and was so kind. There’s no food service but he suggested we grab food from a local fish and chip shop and bring it back. Which we did. Every Friday night a talented 84 year old jazz musician plays piano and sings. And is more than happy for anyone to bring instruments and join in. He had so many stories. Con brought us out a brownie and cream courtesy of himself and let us stay in the car park in our camper van. Patrons were lovely also. Highlights of my trip meeting these beautiful locals.

Have been longing to step foot inside and finally in Franklin when open. Lovely owner with lots of history to discuss if you are thus inclined. One of the older pubs in Tassie and one of the only ones that still keeps the somewhat original look and feel. Worth a stop, chat and cold bev if this is your thing.
