The Winston

The Winston sits on Elizabeth Street in North Hobart, one of the Tasmanian capital's most beloved eating-and-drinking strips. A much-loved bar — with an American-style, characterful feel — it's earned a strong reputation for its good drinks, relaxed atmosphere and genuine personality, the kind of in-the-know spot that's become a firm local favourite.

The appeal is that combination of quality drinks, a characterful setting and a relaxed, welcoming vibe on a buzzing North Hobart strip, ideal for a catch-up, a craft beer or settling in for the evening. Its distinctive character and laid-back atmosphere set it apart, drawing a loyal following among Hobart's bar-goers.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 800 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Drinks lists, any food offering, 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 drink in a genuinely characterful setting, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well loved in North Hobart.
