A legendary watering hole that’s like a second home for Margaret River residents and visitors from near and far, where the sense of community spirit is only bettered by the hall-of-fame wine list.
The sunny verandah, cosy bar and sprawling dining room complete with big screen may at first suggest you’re in classic pub territory. And in the best ways, you are: the Tav remains a storied meeting place for patrons of all stripes, and the decor has an authentic quality that reflects the underground surf culture in the region, with everything from old boards to Bondi Tsunami posters. But then, spy the tap list, repping craft brewers alongside Swan Draught, and the by-the-glass offering the likes of cult-status Adelaide Hills label, Ochota Barrels, and you realise, all is not as it seems. Then there’s the legendary 600-bottle list, a love letter to regional varieties and expert winemakers the world over. Add bloody mary oyster shooters and a steak sandwich to write home about and it’s an experience that can’t be replicated. Long may it continue.
