Telegraph Hotel in the heart of Hobart’s CBD on the waterfront is one of the city’s most iconic and long-loved pubs. Built in 1858 and originally known as the Electric Telegraph Hotel, it has been a meeting place for locals and visitors for more than 160 years, steeped in history and character.

Today it blends rich heritage with a lively modern pub experience. On the ground floor you’ll find a classic public bar with a relaxed vibe, plenty on tap and sport on the screens, while upstairs there’s a dining space serving generous pub meals that make the most of local produce.

One of its standout features is the rooftop bar and terrace, offering views over the harbour and city surrounds. It’s a great spot for a sunny afternoon drink or a laid-back evening catch-up.

Whether you’re after a casual lunch, local beers and cocktails, or a rooftop session with friends, the Telegraph Hotel mixes historic charm with the social buzz of a true Hobart institution.
