Arrived late afternoon virtually no one there. Large interior in part of Hobart with lots of…read morerestaurants and bars. It was open and welcoming with huge area at the back adjacent to brewing tanks. They have concrete ping pong table and large concrete benches to sit at. Food limited range. We had variations on burgers and they were good if not out of the box. Plenty of on-site beer options. As a visitor from the States this is the best local beer. Tried Porter which was ok but two others were just good IPA style beers without being over the top. I am sure this could be more crowded in the evening but settled for being open for food mid afternoon which seems a bit of a rarity in Tasmania and this area.

What a dream. This is one of the oldest breweries in the city. They feature four types of beer. I…read moreordered the flight sampler. I also ordered the beef brisket. It had the best sauce thus far during my Australian trip. What makes this place magical is the garden. This is a heritage spot overlooking my Wellington. It's also adjacent to the rivulet walking trail. So a nice combination is walking from Central on the trail. And stop at the brewery at the end. There is also a.

Holy dooley. I had an amazing day out here making my very own gin thanks to Bespoke Tasmania…read more Bill's got a wonderful setup down here and touring the distillery and bond store feels like visiting a cool uncle's setup. It's definitely off the beaten track so a bit of a destination visit but if you want to see where McHenry's magic happens, this is where it's at! If you can come here as part of Tasmanian Whisky Tours or Bespoke Tasmania's gin workshop, I can't recommend the latter any more highly. A tour of the distillery, lunch flavours matched to G&Ts, AND distillation of gin botanicals that I picked out to make a special bespoke gin. So rad. I'M A GIN MAKER NOW. Plus I may have also bought some barrel-aged gin and some sloe gin (and I even got to stir some steeping sloe berries, eee!). Gin nerd dream day complete, McHenry Distillery is kind of like a visit to Dreamworld for me.

A traditional pub located in the heart of the trendy Salamanca market area. We wanted something…read morereally casual for our first night in Hobart and this fit the bilL. I requested a booking online bUt it wasn't really necessary on a midweek evening at the end of January. Instead of the nice table inside, we grabbed a spot outside on the great shaded patio. Burgers and sandwiches make up most of the menu and tHere are several versions of sliders as well. We chose the eye of beef filet sliders, a side order of chips (thick cut fries) and a Cesar salad. The salad particularly tasted good after a long couple of days off traveling. Overall the food was decent but nothing all that special or memorable. Nonetheless the atmosphere was great with lots of locals grabbing pints of beer after work and enjoying the beautiful weather.

I visited this place with a group of close friends, we were excited by what locals had told us but…read morewhen we got there our reservation was double booked. We eventually got a table and began to browse the menu, none of the burgers sounded all that appealing and were all very expensive for a burger, even before adding fries/drinks. One of us ordered their biggest burger (over $22) and when it came out, it didn't look good, they said the patties and other ingredients tasted burnt and the bread was old. For a place in Salamanca, this was a poor experience and we will not be returning, how they're in business I have no idea.

Two Metre Tall is an institution on its own, but they've really taken things to the next level with…read moreFarm Bar. Operating in the warmer seasons on Fridays (and some bonus Sundays), Farm Bar is what it says on the box: a bar at a farm. More importantly, the bar is at 2MT's farm, where they make their delicious ales and ciders, so by now you can probably guess what's in stock at the bar. Correct: you can get a middy or a pint of delicious real ale or cider, kick back, and relax. Food is BYO, DIY -- the only food for purchase is hulking great slabs of 2MT's beer-fed beef and sausages, and there's a BBQ on site for you to cook up immediately (or you can take your meaty treasure home to savour at a later date). So bring your own salads, burger buns, stuff to eat off, chips and dips... you can even bring your own meat, if you want. Just don't forget to bring your own noms out with you. 2MT's Farm Bar is just under an hour's drive from Hobart, just outside of New Norfolk, and if you book ahead then you can score a seat on the #farmbarbus, which means for only $15 return, you're not the designated driver. The bus needs a minimum of 15 pre-bookings to run each Friday night, so make sure you go to 2MT's website (http://www.2mt.com.au/events_farm_bar_bus.html) to put your name on a seat. It's well worth it for a night out at Two Metre Tall's Farm Bar. And who knows... you might even be lucky enough to be allowed entry into the sacred Man Cave. (I'll let you discover that one for yourself.)
