# Mission Beach Tavern > Mission Beach Tavern is a relaxed pub, restaurant and bottle shop in the heart of Mission Beach on Queensland's Cassowary Coast, a short detour off the Bruce Highway roughly halfway between Townsville and Cairns. Better-than-pub food, icy cold beer, and a friendly meeting point for locals and travellers alike. Mission Beach Tavern serves fresh, locally sourced food (renowned for its juicy steaks, seafood and classic pub meals), with all-day dining from 11am to 9pm. It pours 10 beers on tap plus a full bar, and runs a bottle shop for takeaway. The venue has pool tables, live music every Friday and Saturday, an outdoor verandah, and TVs showing FOX Sports, TAB and KENO. It is family and dog friendly, with free caravan-friendly parking - a popular stop for road-trippers breaking the Townsville-to-Cairns drive, and a regular local for live sport, the weekly pool comp, the Friday Goose Club draw and functions. ## Key facts - Name: Mission Beach Tavern - Address: 52 Porter Promenade, Mission Beach QLD 4852, Australia - Phone: (07) 4088 6688 / +61 7 4088 6688 - Email: admin@missionbeachtavern.com.au - Venue hours: Open every day 10:00am-10:00pm (bar and bottle shop).
