Shipwrights Arms Hotel

The Shipwrights Arms Hotel — affectionately known as 'Shippies' — sits on Trumpeter Street in Battery Point, the charming, historic harbourside neighbourhood of Hobart. A beloved historic pub with a maritime heritage, it's a genuine local institution — combining a wonderfully characterful old-pub atmosphere with quality food, good drinks and a warm, welcoming feel.

The appeal is that combination of genuine history, a great old-pub atmosphere and quality food (it's well known for its hearty fare and local seafood), all in the charming surrounds of historic Battery Point near the waterfront. There's something special about a beloved heritage pub with real character, and Shippies has clearly kept its loyal following happy for years.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 1,000 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — and booking is wise for a meal — while looking forward to the heritage charm, quality food and welcoming atmosphere at the Shipwrights Arms in Battery Point.
