Why it's worth checking out
In The Hanging Garden sits on Murray Street in central Hobart, in the heart of the Tasmanian capital. A characterful, much-loved bar and entertainment venue, it's become a genuine fixture of the city's scene — combining good drinks and food with a wonderful, leafy outdoor space and a great program of live music, events and gatherings, the kind of vibrant, relaxed spot that's a hub for a good time.
The appeal is that combination of good drinks, a relaxed, leafy atmosphere and a great program of live music and events in a central Hobart location, ideal for a relaxed drink, a fun night out, catching live music or settling in with friends. Its lovely outdoor space and lively, characterful vibe have made it a beloved spot, drawing a big, loyal crowd.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 1,200 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Drinks lists, any food, the events-and-music program, opening hours and any ticketing vary entirely with what's on, so it's worth checking the current details before you go — particularly for a specific event — though for a relaxed drink in a lovely setting, it's often just a matter of dropping in at In The Hanging Garden in Hobart.
