Directions Website Contact the club

We are open Monday-Saturday for lunch and dinner. We also offer Sunday morning breakfast and lunch.

The Bower started its life back in 1927 as an open-air movie picture theatre. Several small shops have come and gone along the way including a Hosiery Mill, Electrical shop and Jockas takeaway. The Bower has traded as a tavern since 1989 and has transitioned into the current Bower Tavern where it has become the meeting place for locals and holiday makers alike. In August 2019 the Williams family took ownership and are now the current custodians of the Tavern. Jamie and Vicki along with their daughters Chloe and Maddy are looking forward to being a part of the fantastic community that Cohuna and the Bower tavern has to offer in the next chapter of the taverns life.

Today we’ve sadly lost one of our much loved regulars, John “Blue Wren”.

John has been coming to the Tavern for as long as we’ve been here, and long before that. He was well and truly part of the furniture and someone who became part of our everyday lives.

With his cheeky nature, sense of humour and familiar face, seeing John was just part of our daily routine. It’s funny how someone can become such a part of your day without you even realising just how much, until suddenly they’re no longer there.

The Tavern won’t quite feel the same without him, and we’ll miss him more than words can say.

Rest easy, John. Thank you for being part of the Tavern for all these years. You’ll always be remembered and never forgotten. ❤️
