Best Nightlife in Hobart

"Floating at the end of Brooke Street Pier, this bar is predominately made of glass so you can enjoy unparalleled water views of Sullivan’s Cove and the River Derwent. It also an impressive glassware collection on display, housed in a glass cabinet – but of course!. Cocktails incorporate Tasmania’s world-class spirits and the food offering puts the Apple Isle’s produce front and centre."

"Degustation and Wine PairingSelect from two options of a chefs menu with an emphasis on locally caught and grown produce from our Executive Chef, with a pairing of award winning local wines put together by our Restaurant and Bar..."

"Escape the madness of Salamanca Place for the inspired lunacy of Preachers, a student hang-out that happens to serve some of Australia’s best ales and ciders. You’ll find 17 great beers on tap here, with names such as 4 Pines, Mountain Goat, Hobgoblin, Stone & Wood and White Rabbit on the list. Since Preachers was launched by Hobart locals, Chris Cooper and Brett Allchin, to promote Tasmanian craft beer, the bar does not serve any mainstream options."

"It may be a casual bar-restaurant vibe, but Preachers is a Hobart institution and rightfully deserves its place on a ‘best eats’ list. Preachers is a backyard type of affair (quite literally) and does some of the most mouth-watering salads, burgers, and fries in town. Open nightly with a fun and care-free al fresco and an on-trend atmosphere, Preachers makes for a great mid-week dinner or casual dinner date spot."

"Restaurant of Preachers is considered by many as a Hobart institution and best cheap eats Hobart offers to younger generation. This institution, without a doubt, should be on your list of restaurants. Preachers is a backyard restaurant that serves most delicious salads, burgers as well as fries in town."

"It’s warm and inviting, popular with locals and those who are on a first-name basis with the bartenders. It has hearty fare, which always warms your bones on chillier evenings and a smile comes with every ‘hello’. It also has live music nightly and back-garden BBQ facilities to make the place feel even more like home."

"Along the North Hobart strip you can indulge in a drink or two at Room For a Pony, grab some mouth-watering food at Pancho Villa or Capital, or see some live music at the Republic Bar. ALTERNATIVE: If Mount Wellington and Salamanca don't tickle your fancy, a trip to Bruny Island may be a great alternative."

"If you’ve ever visited Hobart before, you’ve probably stumbled across Republic. With old men propping up the bar and a pumping beer Garden filled with locals, it looks pretty true-blue Aussie pub. But this honest-to-goodness pub is one of the busiest joints in town."

"Hobart’s Japanese gastropub Bar Waizakaya has a brand new online ordering system for pick up and delivery daily between 12pm and 9pm. Their Tokyo-style menu features favourites like ramen, panko-crumbed pork belly and gyoza complete with a selection of sake, Japanese beers and cocktails. They’re even live-streaming their Sunday BBQ cook-up, which is available to order alongside a serving of live music from their upstairs bar."

"If you’re looking for the best Japanese restaurant in Hobart, you’ll find it on Elizabeth Street. While the city, and Tasmania in general, boasts nowhere near the amount of top-quality Japanese eateries as say Melbourne or Sydney, this modest izakaya-inspired space more than holds up the flag for fans of sake and sashimi. If you could pick any time of day to experience Bar Wa Izakaya, make it the early afternoon."

"Friday night at “Knoppies” is a Hobart institution and you’ll find the pavement outside packed with young revellers. This authentic 1830s pub is more relaxed during the week. Drop in for a quiet lunch."

"A short walk past the bars and restaurants of Salamanca and towards the marina. The Elizabeth Street Pier is home to several restaurants and bars including T42°. Enjoy breakfast out beside the water."

"Stylish waterfront T-42° makes a big splash with its food (mains $18 to $32), but also draws well-dressed, late-week barflies with its minimalist interior, spinnaker-shaped bar and ambient tunes."

"As Hobart’s only dedicated gay bar, the team at Flamingos Dance Bar have taken it upon themselves to go all out. You can expect, glitz, glamour, pumping tunes and plenty of sequins. Don’t be scared off by the OTT decor though, this venue opens their doors to party goers from all walks of life."

"Affectionately known by locals as ‘The Tele’, Telegraph Hotel is a destination for anyone looking to party hard. With happy hour rolling around every week, it won’t take long before you try your hand at karaoke or strut your stuff on the dance floor. The crowds start rolling in early, and nobody starts leaving until late."

"Since 1840' is the tag-line here… Well, the building maybe. But 'WBM' is one of a new brigade of Salamanca Place booze rooms, focused on excellent craft and small-batch beers and live music Thursday to Saturday...."

"It’s quite the hike between Hobart Brewing and Shambles to start this Crawl but, once you arrive, you’ll agree it’s worth the effort for two key reasons. For one, the views you’ll take in while wandering along the waterside are particularly fantastic; secondly, and more importantly for beer fans, once you arrive at Shambles you’ll hit the start of a ménage à trois of breweries within a few hundred metres of each other. Shambles first opened at the start of 2016 and has managed to become the sort of brewpub that effortlessly proves combining good beer with good hospitality equals good times."

"About four craft breweries have cropped up in this part of town recently, but the best has to be Shambles. It has pulled off the marriage of a sleek, industrial-chic bar (lots of timber and steel), with tasty, refreshingly crisp ales. Head to 222 Elizabeth Street in the late afternoon to join office workers enjoying a post-work pint."

"An excellent brewery just south of the NoHo strip, with minimalist interiors and a concrete-block bar. Head out the back to drink among the vats (and have a hit of table tennis). Tasting paddles are $14, or..."
