Derwent Bar Reviews
When in Hobart, this is a must go to! Situated in the perfect location, right between Salamanca and Constitution Dock it is an easy place to eat and drink the afternoon away with old town pub vibes! The staff are so friendly and have lots of suggestions of where to go and what to see whilst you're in Hobart! Highly recommend!

Went to the venue looking for a meal after flying in. Needed a stroller friendly venue and this was the first one we found. Walked in without a booking and we were quickly shown to a table, and a high chair was brought quickly for our 11 month old. The service was friendly and efficient. The menu has great variety and I enjoyed a departure from typical ‘pub grub’. Being from Sydney it feels like pub menus are copy-pasted venue to venue.
I ordered brisket - simply fantastic. Tender and flavourful. My partner ordered the burger which tasted great but was a bit messy (then again, it is a burger). The food is reasonably priced for its quality. The specials looked fantastic. Will recommend.

This Hobart waterfront hotel has a great "boatie" atmosphere and the food was delicious. I had a generous serving of juicy crumbed scallops, with fantastic crisp chips and 'slaw while hubby really enjoyed his sweet flathead fillets. With great service, icy cold beers and reasonable prices it was great value for money. We will be back.

Strolled around Battery Point enjoying the houses on a hot afternoon. Then a perfect end to sit outside drinking a pint of cold cider.

Starving after our bus tour, we headed for somewhere to eat. I needed a steak and vegetables and this place served just that, and it was so good. Cooked to perfection as I like a medium rare steak, my husband enjoyed his well-done , it was served with broccoli cooked so still crunchy and perfect roast potatoes. The plain sauce came on the side and was as yummy as you'd expect.
The staff were great ,and we were served promptly. I forgot to take a picture of this meal as I was so hungry,
Well done, guys.

Sports bar serving food with outdoor area.
We ordered a pizza from the Derwent bar, it was one of those pizzas that when you picked up a slice it drooped like a elephants trunk and the topping falls off; you could easily roll it into a grease ball and I paid money for this. Had 2 slices and gave the rest away to other patrons.
On the weekends the music revs up and it's boom boom boom till midnight, best avoided if you want a quite drink.

Loved the cold beer and the view. Fish and chips were below average.

If you are ever in hobart down the docks, this is always a great place to meet and have a great meal. The service was excellent and the food was sooo filling that I couldn't finish it all. I couldn't recommend this highly enough. Go and visit even if it was just for a beer.

I can only speak as l find...last year a small group of us thoroughly enjoyed a Scallop fest meal which includes soup and a drink. However, last week we had exactly the same meal... what a difference, scallops were so small and covered in overcooked breadcrumbs, the chips were overcooked and tough and oily. I won't speak for everyone but all the plates looked the same. Disappointing to say the least, at 42 dollars per head l am sorry but l won't be doing it again.

Great little pub to visit. Sat outside with the heaters on, which was cosy.
Had the Wallaby schnitzel there a couple of times and it was yummy.

Good menu and beverage list, but it's not cheap. The few staff that were on duty did their best.
Seating inside or out on the pavement

Food was quite good - same quality as the restaurant but smaller menu. The Scallop Feast was still available here. Service was OK but got the feeling he didn't care if he was there or not.

A beautiful part of Tasmania, historic buildings and history of the former convict settlement.

2 stars given on the basis of customer service. Drinks were as expected but staff seemed like they shouldn't really be in hospitality industry. Like a chore just serving at the bar. Zero effort to clear glasses or plates from tables as people left and new customers arrived in the bar out the front. Loads of better bars with better service in this area.
