Why it's worth checking out
The Customs House Hotel sits on Murray Street on Hobart's historic waterfront, in the heart of the Tasmanian capital near Salamanca. A much-loved historic hotel and restaurant, it's a genuine Hobart fixture — combining a gorgeous heritage building with quality pub-and-restaurant food (with fresh local seafood a highlight), good drinks, accommodation and a warm, welcoming atmosphere in a fantastic waterfront location.
The appeal is that combination of genuine heritage character, quality food with a seafood focus, good drinks, accommodation and a brilliant waterfront location, ideal for a relaxed meal, a drink, a characterful stay or soaking up the history by the harbour. The lovely old building, the seafood and the waterfront setting make it a real drawcard, and the Customs House has clearly won over a big, loyal following.
With a 4.3 rating from more than 1,400 reviews, it's clearly a popular, well-loved spot. Menus, drinks lists, accommodation, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — though for a meal, a drink and a characterful, historic waterfront atmosphere, it's often just a matter of heading to the Customs House Hotel in Hobart.
