Local tip
A restaurant reservation is useful for an evening meal, while the adjoining Derwent Bar provides a separate setting for drinks and local live music.

Customs House Hotel Restaurant occupies a historic waterfront position at 1 Murray Street, Hobart, within the city’s maritime precinct. The venue sits close to the docks, Salamanca and Battery Point, placing restaurant dining alongside the working harbour and the sandstone character of old Hobart. The setting suits meals that form part of a waterfront stay, a city outing or an evening near the docks.

The restaurant is part of a hotel that combines accommodation, dining and a bar under one roof. Its food offering includes breakfast and a separate restaurant menu, with breakfast covering continental and cooked-to-order options. The restaurant provides a straightforward hotel dining experience rather than a narrowly defined cuisine, making it suitable for guests looking for a central meal in a historic setting.

The adjoining Derwent Bar adds a relaxed social option for drinks before or after a meal. Its beverage program includes Tasmanian ingredients and drinks, with the selection changing over time. Local solo and duo performers also feature in the bar’s evening entertainment program, adding live music to the waterfront atmosphere.

Customs House Hotel Restaurant has a practical connection to functions as well as everyday dining. The function centre caters for corporate events, celebrations and smaller gatherings, with flexible spaces and catering within the hotel’s historic waterfront surroundings. This makes the venue relevant for private occasions as well as casual restaurant visits.

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.
