Waterline Brooke Street Pier Lounge Bar & Eatery

Waterline Brooke Street Pier Lounge Bar & Eatery sits on Hobart’s waterfront at the lower level of Brooke Street Pier, a short walk from the city centre. Expansive windows frame the harbour setting, while alfresco seating provides an option for dining outdoors and enjoying the waterfront atmosphere. The venue combines a restaurant, lounge bar and open-kitchen setting, creating a relaxed space for meals, drinks and social occasions.

The cooking focuses on fresh, locally sourced Tasmanian produce and dishes intended for sharing. The menu draws on techniques including fermentation, smoking, curing, preserving and cooking over fire, with meat, seafood and vegetables all represented. The open kitchen adds a sense of theatre without taking away from the informal feel. Guests can order individual dishes or choose a shared dining format, including a Feed Me menu for smaller groups and an alternate drop menu for larger bookings.

The drinks list centres on cocktails, wine and spirits. The bar team prepares modern takes on familiar cocktails alongside a changing collection of creations, while the wine and spirit selection gives the lounge a broader drinks focus. The combination of waterfront views, an open kitchen and a cocktail-led bar suits a casual drink, a meal with friends or a more considered occasion.

Weekend brunch is available on Saturdays and Sundays. At other times, the venue works well for relaxed lunches, dinners, celebrations and gatherings that benefit from a harbour-side setting. Romantic meals, group dining and informal catch-ups can all fit the space, with indoor seating overlooking the water and outdoor dining for guests seeking fresh air.

Waterline also caters for functions and private events. Options include cocktail events, gala dinners, conferences, business meetings, intimate receptions, private dining and weddings. The semi-private deck can host groups of up to 50, while larger event arrangements can accommodate gatherings from 4 to 400 guests. The waterfront location and flexible dining formats make the venue suitable for both social and business occasions.

Located at Lower Level 12, Franklin Wharf, Hobart TAS 7000, Waterline offers a central waterfront address with a menu built around shared food, local produce and contemporary bar service.
