Summer Sounds in Hobart

It may only be a nightclub in a city most Australians may forget exists, but Syrup keeps Hobart alive with pumping dance nights and world-class touring acts.

Proller channels the eclectic Melbourne bar aesthetic with vintage vinyl chairs, plentiful side-tables and a bar knocked together from mature, straight-lined timber. A scattering of law journals and mellow lounge grooves lay the finishing touches on Hobart's most homey cocoon.

A massive house-created cocktail list awaits the weary soul at this swishest of swish bars, not to mention some rug to cut and shakin' booty to catch of a weekend.

This lounge bar grabs punters by the short'n'curlies and throws them into a surging mix of hip hop, dance, jazz and funk. Head outside in warmer weather to the nifty beer garden and knock back a broad selection of tap and boutique brews.
