Hobart

Hobart is the capital city of Tasmania and is Australia's second oldest city, after Sydney. Hobart sits along the Derwent River and began humbly as a penal colony. Hobart is now a small and intimate city with a population of around 255,000 (as of 2024) in the Greater Hobart area. The city is renowned for its many historic buildings, including the famous Salamanca Place, and is the gateway to Southern Tasmania. Hobart played a major role during the heroic age of Antarctic exploration and is one of the five gateway cities to Antarctica.

    Republic Bar & Cafe

    In its day, the former Empire Hotel was one of Hobart's roughest pubs, hosting a shoot-out during the 1980s. Australian cricketer Max Walker grew up in the Empire, which was run by his parents. After a re-modelling and re-branding as the Republic Bar in the mid-1990s, it has become one of the State's most popular pubs. Today the Republic Bar is Tasmania's premier music venue, with live music 7 days. It hosts an award winning restaurant, art gallery and a large covered beer garden that is good all year round.

  4. DrinkBar

    Mobius Lounge Bar

    Depending on who you ask, Mobius will be described as either the seediest or the best club in Hobart. The grumpy bouncers and reasonably seedy atmosphere though, can't detract from the fact that the DJs are clearly some of the best in Hobart and the dancefloor is regularly full.

  5. DoLive music venue

    Odeon Theater

    Once the most luxurious cinema in Tasmania, the Odeon is now a premier live music and comedy destination, leased by the Museum of New and Old Art. During the annual arts festivals MONA FOMA and Dark MOFO, it is the home of significant art installations, and operates as a music venue the rest of the year.
