The Springs Tavern in Beechboro (Bennett Springs) is a reliable family-friendly spot that works just as well for a casual midweek meal as it does for a weekend catch-up. It combines a modern neighbourhood pub feel with a strong focus on families, thanks to its fully fenced outdoor play area, relaxed beer garden and a menu that caters for a wide range of tastes and ages.
One of the biggest drawcards for parents is the outdoor kids’ play area. It’s purpose-built with younger children in mind, with low equipment and a soft mat surface, so there’s nothing too high or intimidating for little ones. The whole space is gated, which means children can’t easily wander off, and you can choose a table right next to the Playground to keep an eye on them while you enjoy a drink or your meal. Much of this area is undercover, providing shade and protection from the sun, so you can often skip the juggle of hats and extra sunscreen while the kids play.
There is plenty of seating both inside and outside, and while the Springs can get busy at peak lunch and dinner times, families often find it reasonably easy to grab a table in the outdoor area. If you’re heading in with a group, or want to be sure of a spot close to the Playground, it’s worth making a booking or arriving a little early to beat the rush. Inside, you’ll find a modern bar and restaurant space, along with a sports bar area showing major Fox Sports games on big screens, which keeps the grown-ups happy too.
The menu at The Springs Tavern offers a good mix of pub classics and newer seasonal dishes. You can expect options like burgers, schnitzels, steaks, salads and share plates, along with rotating lunch and dinner specials that change throughout the week. The kitchen can cater for a variety of dietary requirements, with clear options for different needs, so it’s a handy choice if your family or friends have a mix of preferences.
Drinks-wise, The Springs Tavern leans into its Swan Valley neighbours, which is a lovely point of difference. You’ll find award-winning local wines and locally brewed beers on the list, alongside the usual pub favourites, soft drinks and other options. It’s surprisingly rare to see venues in the area support nearby wineries and breweries so strongly, and this local focus is a big part of The Springs’ appeal. There is also a drive-through Thirsty Camel bottle shop on site, handy if you want to grab something to take home after your meal.
Families are well catered for with practical touches like baby change facilities and ample parking. The venue also hosts regular specials and seasonal events, and there’s a “What’s On” program you can check online to see what’s coming up – from holiday activities to sporting events and themed nights. Whether you’re popping in for a lazy Sunday lunch, a quick midweek dinner, or a relaxed get-together with friends and kids in tow, The Springs Tavern strikes a good balance between grown-up pub and kid-friendly destination.
If you’re in the Beechboro/Bennett Springs area and looking for a spot where the kids can play safely while you enjoy a decent meal and a drink, The Springs Tavern is an easy, dependable choice that many local families return to again and again.
