Local tip
The rooftop bar is the spot to choose for drinks with views towards Sullivan’s Cove and the harbour.

Telegraph Hotel is a pub, dining venue and rooftop bar on Morrison Street in Hobart, Tasmania. The venue combines a restored pub setting with several distinct spaces, giving it a flexible character that moves from casual drinks and sport to sit-down dining and functions.

The dining room focuses on familiar pub food with a Tasmanian produce-led approach. The menu centres on classic pub-style meals, with local ingredients shaping the offering and adding a regional connection. It suits relaxed lunches, dinners and casual meals in a straightforward setting.

The public bar provides the traditional pub side of the venue. Live sport and entertainment are part of the atmosphere, making this a practical choice for a drink, a match or a social catch-up. The public bar also adds a more informal option for visitors who are not looking for a full dining experience.

Upstairs, the rooftop bar offers a more contemporary setting with views towards Sullivan’s Cove and the surrounding harbour. It provides a separate place for drinks and relaxed gatherings, with the elevated position giving the venue a different feel from the public bar and dining room below. The rooftop is also available for functions.

Telegraph Hotel has a community-focused style and accommodates several kinds of visits, from casual pub occasions and shared meals to sporting sessions, entertainment and organised events. Regular activities and specials form part of the venue’s offering, while the spaces can also support group functions. The combination of dining, live sport, entertainment and a rooftop setting makes the venue suited to diners, pub regulars, groups and visitors seeking a central Hobart meeting place.

The venue is located at 19 Morrison Street, Hobart, with table bookings, functions and general enquiries handled directly by the hotel. The kitchen serves lunch and dinner, while the bar spaces extend the visit beyond a meal. Telegraph Hotel’s mix of classic pub character, local produce and harbour-facing rooftop drinks gives it a broad, accessible role in Hobart’s dining and nightlife scene.
