$$ · ModerateLeashed only

A quirky craft-beer bar tucked behind Salamanca in a heritage sailmaker's cottage, with an old Scania school bus as bar seating and a big beer garden out the back. The beer garden is a well-known dog hangout, open late every day.

Why it made the list

Hobart's best-loved beer garden where pups roam freely among locals, burgers and rotating Tasmanian taps.

Good to know before you go

Dogs are welcome in the beer garden; the venue publishes hours as open daily from late morning until late - confirm seasonal times on its site.

Practical notes

  • Beer garden out the back is the dog zone
  • Burgers plus a Tasmanian cider is the move

What is available on site

  • Water bowls
  • No size limits

House rules and verification

The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: the official page blocked our automated re-check on 31 October 2026, so this listing was last confirmed earlier. Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
