Hobart Brewing Co.
A laid-back brewery with plenty of indoor and outdoor space that has a strong commitment to regular local live music, as well as comedy. Their Harbour Master Amber Ale is an excellent drop.
2 Best Bars in Hobart, Tasmania
Although Hobart has the only true nightlife scene in Tasmania, it's extremely tame compared to what's in Melbourne and Sydney. There are few dance clubs, and evenings out tend to revolve around a bottle of excellent local wine. Consult the Friday or Saturday editions of the Mercury newspaper before heading out. This Week in Tasmania, available at most hotels, is a comprehensive guide to current stage performances and contemporary music concerts.
Shambles Brewery
Nestled between Hobart's CBD and the café strip of North Hobart, Shambles occupies a fond place in Hobartians' hearts for its excellent beer (brewed on-site), its relaxed, urbane atmosphere, and long benches for large groups or smaller nooks for a more intimate experience. Give their Dirty Copper amber ale a try.
