Why it's worth checking out
The Den sits on Salamanca Place in the heart of Hobart's lovely Salamanca precinct. A characterful bar, it's earned a strong reputation — the kind of relaxed, in-the-know spot, with good drinks and a welcoming atmosphere, that's become a genuine favourite for a quality drink in one of the Tasmanian capital's most popular areas.
The appeal is that combination of quality drinks, a relaxed yet characterful setting and a prime Salamanca location, ideal for a catch-up, a special drink or settling in for the evening. The lively, historic Salamanca precinct pairs perfectly with a quality bar, and The Den has clearly carved out a loyal following.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 1,100 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. 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 Salamanca setting, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well rated in Hobart.
