New Sydney Hotel

What a fabulous bar. I walked in and thought oh no this isn’t for me. But I sat at the bar chatted with the lovely bar staff and didn’t look back. A shoe shine guy came in the bar. The bar got busy and the atmosphere took off. Loved every minute of it. Best of all were their own espresso Martinis, yummy. Best I’ve ever tasted.

We add New Sydney Hotel to our agenda every time we visit Hobart. Each time we have a wonderful Saturday afternoon by the fire listening to the Irish music session. And the food and Guinness is superb!

An old style pub. Quaint with no TVs or pokies. There's a reasonable sized outdoor seating area, with covered smoking area and uncovered courtyard. A bit concerning on cleanliness, given the large number of small flies around the bar area. They had a reasonably good whisky selection, but unfortunately no menu (electronic or otherwise) and the staff member wasn't very knowledgeable to assist in selecting. At $12.50 for a pint of a pretty standard pale ale it’s on the pricier end.
