Why it's worth checking out

Bar Wa Izakaya sits on Elizabeth Street in the heart of Hobart, bringing the lively, share-and-socialise spirit of a Japanese izakaya to the Tasmanian capital. A popular, well-loved spot, it's built a strong following for its authentic izakaya-style dining — small plates, drinks and a buzzing, convivial atmosphere right in the city.

The appeal is that combination of flavour-packed Japanese small plates and a fun, sociable setting, ideal for a casual dinner, drinks and shared dishes or a night out with friends. In Hobart's dining scene, its authentic izakaya offering has given it a real point of difference and a devoted crowd.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 3,000 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular central restaurant fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a peak time, or keen to settle in for a round of izakaya plates and drinks.

The Spot Score is our composite of five signals — two about the venue's standing with visitors and three about how complete and current this listing is. It is not a visitor rating and not a verdict on the food or the experience. The 4.6 from 3,003 reviews is Google's visitor rating, shown separately and never altered by us.
