Post Street Social

Hobart


As far as streets go, Post St is titchy (40m, tops), but the buzzy, conversation-filled bar here sure is sociable. The deck out the front is the place to be, Hobart's cold harbour almost within reach (yes, there are heaters). Duck inside for a quick gin while you're waiting for your ferry to MONA.
