This is very much a locals' and sailors' pub, and has been since 1842, but that does not mean that you will not feel comfortable here. Quite the contrary, particularly if you are a lover of things nautical. This was a theme pub before the term was invented. Walk around and enjoy Hobart's maritime history, or just nurse a drink in front of the log fire. The courtyard is pleasant on balmy evenings in summer. Have a counter meal in the smoky bar at bargain prices, or enjoy the restaurant where the three-course menu.
