The Winston

Top choice in Hobart


The grim old art-deco Eaglehawk pub has been transformed into the Winston, a craft-beery, US-style alehouse. Grab a pint of the house stout from one of the beardy guys behind the bar and check out the wall of US registration plates near the pool table. The food flavours – buffalo wings, grilled corn, brisket – match the setting.
