Grinners Dive Bar

Grinners Dive Bar is a Hobart bar and Mexican street-food spot on Elizabeth Street, in what its website calls the city’s midtown area. The food centres on traditional Mexican street tacos alongside fusion creations, served on house-pressed yellow corn tortillas. Burritos are also part of the offering, making it a practical option for a casual lunch as well as an evening visit.

Drinks are a major part of the venue’s identity. The list covers beer, wine and cocktails, with a back bar focused on tequila and mezcal. The website also promotes recurring specials including Margarita Mondays, Taco Tuesday, Sunday burritos and a Wednesday-to-Saturday burrito-and-beer lunch deal. These offers may suit diners looking for a value-focused visit, though it is worth checking the venue’s current listings before heading in.

The atmosphere is presented as vibrant and informal, with more than food and drinks on the programme. Grinners has an upstairs area and says it can host groups of up to 80 people. Its events listings include comedy, live blues, open-mic sessions and a monthly market pop-up, with the latter combining second-hand stalls, drink specials and tacos. That makes it a flexible choice for a group celebration, a solo stop at an open mic or a relaxed meal with family—the site explicitly invites guests to bring the whole family or come on their own. With its combination of tacos, spirits and regular events, Grinners offers a distinctly casual night out in central Hobart.
