Hobart


Hipster beards are optional but preferred at this 1849 sailmaker's cottage turned bar. The ramshackle beer garden is the place to be in Hobart on a summer evening, while the retro sofa inside is a warm hibernation den in winter. Great list of craft beers and wine, while the burgers keep the inebriation in vague check.
