GOTHAM at The Still

GOTHAM at The Still is a cocktail bar and whisky lounge at 30 Argyle Street, inside Hobart’s historic Mercury Print Room. The venue pairs a dark, moody atmosphere with a drinks-led format that suits an early evening pour, a late-night gathering or a relaxed stop between city venues.

The bar centres on expertly made cocktails, with a strong focus on whisky and spirits from Tasmania. Classic serves such as the Old Fashioned and Martini sit alongside a bespoke cocktail list, while the drinks offering also includes local beer, cider, wine and alcohol-free house soda. Whisky tastings and spirit-forward combinations make the bar a natural fit for enthusiasts, although the setting is approachable for anyone looking for a carefully prepared drink.

Food is available from the late afternoon, with a menu shaped by New York cocktail-bar traditions. The offering covers shucked oysters, skewers, fried chicken, burgers and other bar plates designed for sharing or pairing with drinks. The style is casual and substantial rather than formal, making GOTHAM suitable for a light meal, a group of friends or a later supper.

The historic interior, low-lit mood and focus on classic cocktails give the venue a distinct evening character without turning it into a formal dining room. It works for date-night drinks, small celebrations, after-work catch-ups and whisky-focused visits. Walk-ins are welcome, while bookings provide a practical option for busier periods and larger groups.

GOTHAM also hosts occasional programmed experiences and entertainment, including jazz performances and spirit-making activities. These add variety to the bar’s regular cocktail and food offering, though the core appeal remains the combination of a dedicated drinks list, late-night plates and a richly atmospheric city setting. Wheelchair access and table service are available, and children accompanied by a responsible adult are permitted until 8pm.
