Book Direct with the Owner at Franklin Tavern in Franklin with Accommodation Tasmania for all your restaurant and entertainment needs.
The first Franklin Tavern began life in 1846 as a general store situated higher up on the hill. Licensee Elijah Brown decided to move the hotel closer to the road in 1853 – it became the Franklin Hotel and was later renamed the Federal Hotel.
In 1979 the present owner, Kon Reitler, purchased the hotel and undertook an extensive restoration program, changing the name to Franklin Tavern.
Today you can sit by the cosy log fire and soak up the old world ambiance whilst enjoying friendly service, great food and good wine.
