Telegraph Hotel

This is my spot!
A friend and I had just started our year of traveling through Australia, and chose Tassie as our first destination. We were house sitting in Kingston for 2 weeks, so we’d pop into Hobart a few nights a week for some fun. We bar hopped all over the city, but the Telegraph stayed our consistent favorite. Almost every time we paid it a visit, we were in for a wild night.
The pub itself it’s a moderately large lay out equipped with full bar, kitchen, pool room, and a lengthy outdoor smoking patio with tables. The bartenders were all very friendly and almost instantly took us in as their own. Since we were fresh off the boat from the states, everyone fell in love with our naivety towards all things Aussie not to mention Tassie. We were given a full crash course on proper Aussie drinking. And not only that, all of our travel suggestions wound up coming from the bartenders and local clientele as well!
After finishing up our stint in Kingston, we decided to put a little more time in with Hobart and it’s surrounding areas. If it weren’t for our friends at the Telegraph, we probably would’ve moved on much sooner. We truly did see the area on a local level, which is the best experience to hope for when traveling.
P. S. If a bartender named «Taz» is still working there, you should get to know that man! He’s a legend!
