About Smithfield Tavern Cairns
Smithfield Tavern is the local pub at the Smithfield shopping centre, on the corner of the Kennedy and Captain Cook highways. It has a family bistro, a sports bar and a beer garden under one roof. Functions are held in the Rainforest Room, an outdoor courtyard set aside as a private area. It seats up to 70 for a dinner and holds up to 100 for a standing event. The room is used for cocktail parties, seated dinners, morning teas and conferences. The tavern hosts birthdays, engagements and work functions of all sizes, and bookings are essential. The kitchen leans on Queensland producers and local suppliers, with share plates, salads, steaks, schnitzels and pub favourites on the bistro menu. The functions team works through food and drink options with you and puts together a package to suit the group. After the formal part of the night, guests can drift into the sports bar for live sport on the big screen, a game of pool or a song on the jukebox. The bar also runs karaoke, live entertainment, meat raffles and footy tipping across the week. The Family Bistro opens for lunch and dinner seven days, so a function can start with a meal and roll on into the evening. The pub also has TAB and Keno facilities for guests who want a flutter, and the team behind the bar is used to looking after local sporting clubs and their celebrations.

I had the steak the first time and it was delicious. My dining companions loved their selections as well. Second time, I had the pork belly. The sauce was amazing. The dining atmosphere is relaxed without being loud.
