If you love meat, you can't beat their beef check, it melts in your mouth.😊

The Hope and Anchor is Tasmania's oldest pub, established in 1807. It hosts about 4 fireplaces and about as many great rooms and bars within the pub itself. The food is very good, the plates offer a big meal.

Enjoyed having a drink with the bride in this establishment and found Captain Bligh's Colonial Ale a great beer! There's some serious history in this building and I bet if the walls could talk they would have some fascinating stories to tell. Well worth a visit for a drink while in the area!

Classic old pub with good selection of beers, lively staff, clean and friendly.

We visited Hope and Anchor on 2 occassions whilst holidaying in Hobart between 13th and 21st Dec 2020. It declares it is the longest licensed hotel in Australua since 1807. On the first visit, we attended without a booking, but Jane was able to seat us without hesitation. The atmosphere is lovely, like a walk back in time. The meals were fabulous and well proportioned. The entree of cob loaf was oh so yummy. Having had a fabulous evening we went again. For the second visit we made a reservation and took a 3rd person with us who had a walker. They had taken note of the information when booking and gave us a table that was very suitable and kept the walker out of the way of other diners and staff. It was very busy with a large group of around 20 near us. To her credit Jane managed the evening very well. She suggested if we were ready to order, she would take it before the the large group were ready, so as not to be inconvenienced with a very long wait. Yes again the meals were sumptuous. Desserts were fabulous. Alas no Cob loaf that night. Meals 10/10, Service 10/10, Prices 10/10, Ambience 10/10. Will be our regular go to whenever in Hobart. Congratulations team Hope and Anchor.
