The Quartermasters Arms

Billed as a ‘modern inn’ housed in a 19th-century heritage-listed building in Hobart’s central business district, The Quartermasters Arms has taken over where the Tasman Quartermasters left off, ramping up the offering to cover a well-stocked bar, bottleshop and modern Australian restaurant. Liquid refreshment here is enviably international, with American and Australian craft beers, Spanish, European, and Australian wines, Scottish whiskies and Tasmanian gin all on the cards. An open-fire sets the mood for evenings spent sampling robust Australian reds accompanied by fine food that while rustic, is nuanced enough to please the most demanding gourmet. The proprietors of this city centre watering hole and gathering place have a nose for the finer things in life, bringing delicacies like Tasmanian truffles to bear in shareable dishes that are sure to amaze.
