The Shannon Tavern; a jewel in the crown of Byron’s Hinterland.

The Channon Tavern is a quaint country pub in the heart of The Channon – a historic town at the foothills of some of the best rainforest walks and waterfalls in the Northern Rivers. The Channon village, including the pub, was hit very hard by the floods in February–March 2022, but since its reopening in January 2023, the tavern has come back to life with new energy and management, including a high-quality Japanese restaurant.

The new team has created an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere whilst maintaining the old country pub feel. Whether it be a Japanese curry next to the fireplace on a cold night, or sashimi by the creek on a sunny day, The Channon Tavern has you covered. 

They also have a large array of classic and craft beverages to quench your thirst. There is plenty to do for the whole family, including a kids playground, free pool tables, pool comps, table tennis, darts, trivia, raffles, live music and more.
