Franklin Wharf Restaurant and Bar

Franklin Wharf Restaurant and Bar occupies the ground floor of Murray Street Pier on Morrison Street in Hobart. The setting places the restaurant within a working pier environment, while the menu focuses on Tasmania’s produce and offers a broad choice of dishes for different tastes and preferences.

The restaurant caters for both lunch and dinner during the week, with all-day dining from Friday to Sunday. Its casual dining area provides a relaxed setting for a meal, a drink or a longer gathering, without limiting the menu to one particular style of diner. The broad selection makes the venue suitable for mixed groups where guests may be looking for different types of food.

Franklin Wharf Restaurant and Bar is also connected with a dedicated function centre on the level above. The function centre is divided into three separate spaces, known as the Parliament View Room, Derwent View Room and Pier View Room. These areas provide an option for larger occasions or organised functions, while the restaurant and bar remain on the ground floor.

The venue’s location at Murray Street Pier makes it a practical choice for dining around Hobart’s waterfront precinct. The restaurant’s character comes from its pier setting, casual dining format and emphasis on local produce rather than a narrowly defined cuisine. It suits visitors seeking a straightforward meal in a central Hobart location, as well as locals arranging a meal with family, friends or a larger group.

Bookings are available for the restaurant and bar, with larger parties asked to contact the venue directly. Outdoor tables are not reserved, so seating outside depends on availability. For functions, the separate upstairs rooms provide a more structured setting than the casual ground-floor restaurant. Franklin Wharf Restaurant and Bar combines a flexible menu, a casual atmosphere and a prominent pier location for everyday dining, group meals and occasions that require a dedicated function space.
