Open menuWhy it's worth checking out
Opposite Palmerston Shopping Centre, Palmerston Tavern is a contemporary pub designed for easy meals, drinks and time with family or friends. Its Bistro serves lunch and dinner seven days a week, with a broad pub-style menu covering share plates, salads, steaks, schnitzels and other familiar classics. Seniors and kids menus make it a practical option for mixed-age groups, while dessert and coffee are available to finish the meal.
The venue is split between the Bistro and The Palm Bar, giving visitors a choice between dining and a more relaxed drink. The bar opens onto a deck with high ventilated ceilings and a water fountain, while inside there are floor-to-ceiling glass windows, Jarrah floors and comfortable lounge-style seating. It is a casual setting for a cold beer or wine with friends after work or on the weekend.
Sport is a central part of the bar experience, with wide-screen televisions inside and around the deck showing a variety of sporting events. Music video clips add to the background atmosphere, and there is also a jukebox, two pool tables and an arcade machine. Guests can use the TAB, or simply settle into the deck for a laid-back afternoon in Palmerston.
Palmerston Tavern also caters for larger gatherings, including birthdays, engagements, weddings, corporate events and other functions. There is no private function room, but both the Palm Bar and Bistro can be used for hosted events. With family-friendly dining, casual drinks, sports viewing and group functions under one roof, it suits local families, groups of friends and visitors looking for a straightforward pub in Palmerston, Darwin.
