About Tom's Tavern

Tom's Tavern is a modern local pub on Nathan Street in Aitkenvale. It runs a bistro, a sports bar with large screens and a beer garden, and trades from 10am until late every day. The main private space is the Function Room, which opens off the bistro with the beer garden a few steps away. It seats 80 or holds 150 standing, and suits birthdays, engagements and work events where the group wants its own room. The beer garden has two bookable areas. The Bar and Playground end is near its own bar and the big screens, seating 80 or holding 220 standing, while the quieter Garden End seats 80 for relaxed drinks and catch-ups. For smaller groups, the Bistro Lounge Bar is a semi-private corner of the bistro beside the bar, sized for about 40 guests. A Terrace Bar is also offered as a semi-private option. Food is served as shared platters, with a minimum order of three and each platter feeding eight to ten people. Choices run from party pies and yum cha to antipasto, cheese, wings and sweets, with low gluten, vegetarian and vegan options marked. Drinks can be set up as a standard, deluxe or premium package for two, three or four hours, as a bar tab with a limit you choose, or as a cash bar. The functions team puts together a quote for each event.

The newly renovated Beer Garden is a must for families! Our 5yr old loved the play area! I had the fish and chips and it was so light and tasty. The staff were very approachable and friendly as well.
