The Casino Bar
Editorial
Located smack-bang in the middle of the gambling action, the Casino Bar sits in the interior of the Casino - a great spot for soaking up the atmosphere. Plasma screens so you can keep up to date on your bets, news or sports seem to be the only concession to modernity. The overall décor seems quite quaint by today's multi-megaplex Casino standards: boldly patterned carpet and polished brass everywhere - a mix of 70's and 80's glam. It's a great place for a quiet drink, a spot of people watching, a spin of the dice or risking it all by putting it all down on black. They don't make casinos like this anymore. There's an eclectic crowd of well-dressed locals, out-of-towners and international visitors. Being one of Hobart's main hotels, you never know who you might meet at the bar.
Beverages include a nice selection of local and imported beers including ale, stouts and pilsner. Mostly Australian and New Zealand wines grace the well-crafted list, and a fruity cocktail menu to blow your socks off.
If you need some sustenance of the foodie kind, there are tidbits at the bar, but head to the Coffee Shop, The Loft Bistro or the Point Revolving Restaurant for more substantial fare.
