But once your in its a great environment, has a lounge area, a dance floor, smoking area, VIP area. A reasonable Nightclub bar, bit more expensive then other places, but worth it for the dancing and atmosphere. Best to get in early on night like Wed, Fri and Sat. Otherwise after 11 there's quite a big line.

Princes Wharf 1, more commonly known as PW1, is Hobart's main convention centre. Better than…read moretrekking out to Derwent Park or the Showgrounds one way or Wrest Point another way, PW1 is an excellent central space for a big-ass convention (Hobart-scale, anyway). I've been to more events here in my two years of Hobart life than I can count on two hands--markets and festivals top my list. I've sat down with 999 others for a long table dinner, I've strolled through aisles of handmade products, aisles of food, I've wrestled for table space at packed food hall events. I've been warm, I've been cold. I've watched international bands play to a packed-out hall. I've drank coffee and I've drank wine. PW1 is a great space--unless there are a lot of people here and you have to use the bathroom. The toilets here are notorious for going to hell within a couple of hours of an event, so you better hope the event you're headed to is a) quiet or b) prepared with portaloos outside. But back to the crux of it--awesome central location for awesome events.

Travel books gush about the boom in distilling and brewing in Tasmania. I had to try some whisky…read moreduring a brief stop in Hobart. Without any prior planning, I stumbled into Lark Distillery. The location of the distillery makes it ideal for stumbling into-- it's right by the water surrounded by various tourist hot spots. I ordered the whisky flight and was promptly served 3 small pours. I remember the price feeling a bit high but generally reasonable. What really struck me was the lack of introduction or explanation about what I was about to drink. I had to ask for a bit of information at which point I was told the history of Bill Lark and the uniqueness of each pour. It was quite interesting and helpful but I wish it had been offered as default. I sat outside and had a quiet and relaxing few moments.

Let it be known that I am not traditionally a whiskey drinker (unless it's been beaten with an egg…read morewhite and lemon or served in a shot glass) however I knew, on this particular trip to Hobart, that today was the day. Lark Distillery is home to Lark Whiskeys - a Tasmanian born and bred, very fancy and very delicious whiskey. But what this venue is better known for is it's whisky tasting tray. For 20 clams you can try three of their best whiskeys and get a whiskey educational all-the-while sitting in a delightfully cosy space. For some extra dollars, you should most definitely get yourself a cheese platter to go with. It features locally made cheeses and quince with freshly baked bread. I promise you, Whiskey Tasting + Cheese Platter = match made in heaven. You CAN do a tour of the distillery and get a more serious educational, which will take up a few hours of your day, but really, all you need to do is get a chair at the bar and chat to the incredibly knowledgeable staff.

Although there is several…read morepositives such as nice bar great views you can't sleep when there are kids running up and down the hallway like it's a daycare screaming and yelling, constantly, and the walls are very thin and all the neighbours continually banging make a lot of noise. Adding to the noise, local hoons use the road out the front as part of a racing circuit of a night continuously driving at speed with very loud exhausts. The windows are not sealed well and I can hear wind and noise coming through them. The last time I stay here. The Crown Plaza will get my business going forward.
