The Barrel Collective

The Barrel Collective sits on Brisbane Street in central Launceston, in Tasmania's north. A characterful bar, it's earned a near-flawless reputation — the kind of stylish, in-the-know spot, with a great drinks offering, that's become a genuine favourite for a quality drink in a welcoming atmosphere.

The appeal is that combination of quality drinks — think a thoughtful selection of wine, beer and spirits — a relaxed yet characterful setting and a convenient central Launceston location, ideal for a catch-up, a special drink or settling in for the evening. A quality bar with genuine character really stands out, and the near-perfect feedback speaks to The Barrel Collective getting both the drinks and the atmosphere genuinely right.

A 4.9 rating from more than 200 reviews is an excellent result and a strong endorsement. Drinks lists, any food, opening hours and any events vary, and a popular bar fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a relaxed, quality drink in a characterful setting, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well loved in central Launceston.
