Renowned as one of Tasmania's top live music venues the Bridge Hotel, Forth also has a history to conjure with. Established in 1872 it has withstood fire, flood, murder, an historic brawl and much more.
Significant as a meeting place in the days of Federation, the pub is still a favored meeting place for a number of organisations. Offering Rock and Blues to Poetry, or just a beer and chat, a country cooked meal, even a famous Forth Pub Pie - The Bridge Hotel at Forth is in the minds of everyone who likes a good time, good music and a great atmosphere.
The Bridge Hotel is a non-gambling establishment, offering a great atmosphere without pokies. For traveller's it's a great place to stop on the way to, or from, Cradle Mountain.
You can be entertained with live music almost every weekend, specialising in Blues on Sundays. Check out the gig guide.
