Settler’s Tavern is a traditional pub with a twist, the town’s premier music venue, wine bar, bistro and sports bar that also offers two alfresco areas. As if that wasn’t enough, it’s also a smoke house with a proper American Yoder-brand smoker that’s fired up daily. The Texas style beef brisket is the signature dish where it’s cooked ‘low and slow’, producing a succulent, tender, smoky carnivore experience.
Settlers prides itself on using the best local seasonal ingredients available serving tasty pub fare, from basic burgers to local Black Angus steak, freshly caught seafood (including oysters shucked to order) and gourmet dishes in between.
It’s not just the food that has the punters drooling. The internationally awarded wine list is what sets Settler’s apart from the rest. It offers 25 wines by the glass and 600 local and imported bottles. The owners pride themselves on the continually evolving wine list offering organic, biodynamic and sustainable wines where possible. Choices include multiple vintages of highly sought after bottles - you’ll see big names along with emerging “young gun" winemakers. There is something to please everyone, from the weekend novice to the well seasoned connoisseur.
The venue has been awarded a swag of awards including AHA’s Best Regional Casual Pub Dining 2018 (Hall of Fame) and Best Country Steak Sandwich 2019, Gourmet Traveller’s WA’s Wine List of the Year & Best Listing of WA Wines 2019, TOP 100 BARS Sunday Times, WA Awards of Excellence 2018/2019, Best Pub Restaurant Wine List (Hall of Fame) and Best Regional Hospitality Venue 2018/19 (Hall of Fame).
From 11.30 to 9pm, Settlers is primarily a casual family restaurant, serving people and families. By night, it transforms into a live entertainment venue with many genres of music on offer. Over 250 shows are offered throughout the year. Thursday nights are laid back dinner shows, while weekend nights are targeted to younger crowds who like to boogie. You’ll find the Sunday sessions are family friendly, featuring acoustic bands.
