The Best Places For Grub, Booze A Cuppa In Tamworth, Australia’s Home Of Country Music

Tamworth — on Kamilaroi land — draws in over 300,000 people annually for its Toyota Country Music Festival. Buskers of all ages line the main streets, live music is happening at basically every pub and the town is beaming with good vibes. It’s a lot of fun and everyone really leans into the theme, which is made easier because Toyota supports not-for-profit organisations with the sales of hats and pins at the festival. This year it was TAMS (Tamworth Aboriginal Medical Services) and Toyota raised more than $56,000 for the not-for-profit at its Toyota Zone, where buskers also perform as part of the Toyota Tailgate Sessions. When we’re talking gold coin donations, that’s pretty phenomenal. It’s definitely worthwhile to rally the crew and get amongst it. And because making plans as adults need to be done in advance, you should probably start thinking about the next Toyota Tamworth Country Music Festival now. It’s between 13 Jan – 22 Jan 2023 and accommodation can fill up pretty quick (get The Powerhouse Hotel if you can — it’s a close walk to everything and the right amount of bougie). Keep reading below for the best local pubs, breweries, bars, restaurants and cafes in Tamworth to get around.

Ruby’s Cafe & Gift Store is damn adorable. It’s located in an old heritage building with a pink door and you won’t miss it with all the surrounding greenery. The best part has to be the open-yet-private garden that allows you to really indulge in that cuppa. Ruby’s is open until 2pm Tues, Wed, Thurs and Saturday, 5pm Friday and midday on Sunday.
