The Brisbane Hotel is an institution in Hobart pub life and if walls could talk than this place would have a lot to tell you about this good ol' towns history. These days, the Brisbane still keeps pouring them, although with its support of alternative music, fringe art and all things experimental and grunge, the Brisbane is probably catering to a different local market than it used to. The Brisbane is open for lunch and dinner most days of the week and live performance is a regular feature. A cover charge may apply on some evenings.

The Republic Bar is one of Hobart's most popular and lively bars with live entertainment seven nights a week and a kitchen serving local gourmet pub grub for lunch and dinner. The Republic is a popular art-deco style bar, half pub and half cafe, with a loyal, local patronage. A function room is available for hire and a beer garden with BBQ facilities is also available for group bookings. A cover charge may apply on some evenings.

If your in Hobart, this is without doubt the place to be.
