Pub Crawls in Tasmania

If you’re keen on soaking up Tasmania’s pub scene properly, a pub crawl is one of the best ways to do it. Forget the tourist traps; here you’ll find spots locals swear by, like the rich dark timber interior of The Winston in Launceston or the riverside charm of The Brisbane Hotel in Hobart. Each place has its own character, from craft beers brewed just down the road to hearty pub meals that could shut down your appetite entirely.

And it’s not just about the drinks, either. You might find yourself swapping stories with a couple of fishermen or even challenging someone to a game of pool at The Brunswick Hotel in Battery Point. One tip? Start early, especially if you’re crawling in Hobart,some pubs close by 10pm during off-season, so don’t miss out. Also, grab a Tasmanian cider at least once,it’s a local staple and offers a refreshing alternative to beer.

Tasmania’s smaller towns have their charms too. In places like Battery Point or Salamanca, a crawl can feel almost like walking through history, with pubs that have stood for over a century. So pack your comfy shoes and don’t be shy about asking the bartender for their favorite tipple. You’ll likely find a spot to stay late or a new story to tell.
