Reviews Summary

The Den Salamanca offers a trendy two-storey bar with a rustic luxe ambiance, praised for its delicious food like crispy chicken bao buns and its cozy atmosphere, especially by the fireplace. Many enjoy the creative cocktails and friendly service. However, some reviews note issues with cold food delivery and the bar becoming overly rowdy on weekend nights, with a perceived lack of responsible alcohol service at those times.

"Sam was an amazing barman that made us feel at home so much, he put the fire on in January for us, so we felt like we were back in QLD! Drinks, food and service were fantastic"

Tifini Macklin

"Visiting from Sydney.
Great atmosphere.
Seating inside and outside.

The bar man was very helpful and understanding of the wines from Tasmania.
Food was ordered and not a long wait for the food. It was nice."

Rite White

"A stunning place! The ambience is very welcoming and warm - the prices are very fair and the food is amazing! We had the crispy chicken bao buns which were delicious, very soft bun, fresh greens and CRISSPPPPY chicken with a light yet creamy sauce. The chips were super crisp yet soft and had great seasoning. The korean rice bowl was filling, cozy and full of all the best asian flavours we know and love - sweet, fresh, crisp, salty. Enjoying this food to the backdrop of a crackling fire was a vibe."

Hip, hot and handcrafted: the 7 best bars in Hobart

Sassy and sophisticated, this two-storey sandstone bar with its exposed rock wall and silky timber beams boasts the kind of rustic luxe that contestants on TV series Alone dream about while braziers and comfy couches on the Salamanca strip encourage outdoor drinking all year round. The bar team whip up cocktail classics like the creamy Espresso Martini along with more eccentric offerings – think ‘Fairy Bread’ with Hartshorn Sheep Whey vodka and miso syrup or the ‘Two Headed Zombie’ with Charles Oates brandy and absinthe. Good to know - the $10 bao baskets are best in show.

The Coolest Places to Eat and Drink in Hobart

The Denis another bar fairly new bar in Salamanca (at least, I don’t think it was open on my last trip home) which is all about Tasmanian products – which I love!. You can even see it reflected in the decor, with Huon pine on the door and a Tassie Devil mosaic in the open kitchen upstairs!. We only popped in here for a drink one night (they have some lovely cocktails made with Tasmanian products), but they also do sharing-plate-type food with quite a few Korean dishes.

The cocktails at his modern bar in Salamanca Place are made from unusual ingredients, perhaps a mojito with dill-infused white rum, pomegranate, lime juice and sage. Elderflower and banana liqueurs, agave syrup and pineapple and lime juices are combined with whisky to make Thy Gold Leaf. The Den's wine and beer lists are replete with Tasmanian favourites to accompany a menu of Asian-style small plates, bao, fries and salads.

The Den opened its doors in late December 2017, and to no surprise, has quickly become a favourite with the locals. This intimately-lit bar is located in the city’s historic Salamanca Place, and sets the mood as soon as you step into its luxurious sandstone and timber space. The menu here is short, sharp and tasty, suited for sharing, but it’s their selection of classy cocktails where The Den truly shines.

This Salamanca hot spot has fire pits, outdoor dining options, a warm timber and leather interior with an upstairs lounge bar. Plenty of local options to sample a wide range of beverages and the sharing plates are Asian inspired and very morish. Watch this space turn into a dance floor on Friday and Saturday nights after 9pm, a 7 minute walk from the Hotel Grand Chancellor at 63 Salamanca Place.
