If you’re looking for a relaxed wine bar offering a selection of high-quality snacks, charcuterie and cheese, Willing Brothers won’t disappoint. The space may be small, but the dimly lit atmosphere more than makes up for it. Perfect for gathering with a small group of friends or on a romantic date. We recommend trying the Willing Brothers pinot noir.

If waterside drinks are on your agenda you should look no further than The Glasshouse Hobart. With spectacular views over the harbour and Derwent River, there’s no better place to take a seat and enjoy a refreshing glass of Tasmanian wine. If wine isn’t your thing, then this spot also boasts an impressive cocktail list – all classic favourites with a Tasmanian twist.

Often described as a little different, this casual late-night bar specialises in Japanese sake as well as a range of Japanese beers and cocktails. If sake is a bit outside your wine comfort zone, there’s also a sake-tasting plate to get you started. If all else fails, the bar still serves your favourite local wines, with a range of Japanese-inspired food to accompany them.
