Why it's worth checking out
Evolve Spirits Bar sits on Hunter Street on Hobart's historic waterfront, in the heart of the Tasmanian capital. A much-loved spirits bar, it's earned a strong reputation — combining a fantastic range of spirits (with a focus on Tasmania's celebrated whisky and local distillers) with a warm, characterful atmosphere, the kind of in-the-know spot that spirits lovers seek out.
The appeal is that combination of a brilliant spirits offering — showcasing Tasmania's world-renowned whisky and local distilleries — and a relaxed, characterful setting in a great waterfront location, ideal for a quality dram, a tasting, a drink with friends or a sociable evening. Tasmania has earned a global reputation for whisky, and a bar dedicated to showcasing it really stands out, with Evolve clearly winning over a devoted following.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 260 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The spirits list, any tastings or food, opening hours and pricing vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a quality Tasmanian whisky or spirit in a characterful setting, it's well worth seeking out Evolve Spirits Bar on the Hobart waterfront.
