Local solo and duo performers also feature in the bar’s evening entertainment program, adding live music to the waterfront atmosphere.

The restaurant suits visitors staying near Hobart’s waterfront, diners exploring Salamanca and Battery Point, and guests wanting a meal close to the docks. Tasmania’s maritime character is central to the experience, with the restaurant, bar and accommodation gathered in a location shaped by the river, historic buildings and nearby harbour activity.
