Black Buffalo Hotel is a traditional pub and bistro described by its website as being in North Hobart, close to Hobart’s CBD. It combines a public bar, dining room, accommodation, function spaces and a drive-through bottleshop, making it suited to a quick drink, a meal or a longer stay near the city.
The bistro focuses on hearty pub classics and generous serves, with burgers, schnitzels and steaks alongside vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices. It is presented as a relaxed setting for family lunches and dinners rather than a formal dining room. The public bar offers a casual place for a beer, pool and televised sport, with TAB facilities also available.
For groups, the hotel has three function spaces covering occasions from corporate meetings to larger dinner bookings and parties. En-suite accommodation, off-street parking and proximity to Hobart’s CBD and waterfront add practical appeal for visitors. The venue also promotes recurring bar specials, including a Thursday cheeseburger and house schooner offer and Friday pints at schooner prices. With its mix of food, drinks, gaming, functions and accommodation, Black Buffalo suits families, groups and travellers wanting a straightforward pub base in Hobart.
