Why it's worth checking out
The Empress Craft Beer Bar sits on Oldaker Street in Devonport, the gateway port city on Tasmania's scenic north-west coast. A much-loved craft beer bar, it's earned a strong reputation — combining a great range of craft beers with a relaxed, characterful atmosphere, the kind of welcoming, in-the-know spot that craft-beer lovers seek out.
The appeal is that combination of a fantastic craft-beer offering and a relaxed, characterful setting in a convenient Devonport location, ideal for a beer, a few drinks with friends or a relaxed session. For anyone who loves craft beer, a dedicated bar with a great range and genuine character is a real draw, and the Empress has clearly won over a loyal following on the north-west coast.
