About Callington Mill House of Whisky & Dining
Callington Mill House of Whisky & Dining is the city bar and restaurant of a Tasmanian single malt distillery. It occupies part of the MACq 01 Hotel at 18 Hunter Street, right on the Hobart waterfront. The room pours the distillery's whole whisky range and its Poltergeist gins, alongside a kitchen built on Tasmanian produce. Inside it is low lit and intimate, with tufted lounge chairs, round dining tables, a back bar lined with bottles and barrels set into the walls. Private events are tailored by the events team: seated dinners, set menus or long-table feasts, with a guided whisky or gin tasting, or a masterclass, built into the night if you like. The venue names birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, intimate weddings, client dinners and corporate functions among the events it hosts. For groups, the kitchen offers two seasonal sharing menus, one at $88 per person and a larger one at $120 per person. There is also an à la carte menu and a vegetarian menu, with dishes leaning on Tasmanian seafood and locally raised meat. Drinks run from tasting flights to whisky and gin cocktails made with the house spirits, plus Tasmanian wine and beer, and drinks packages built around the whisky and gin can be arranged. For a group that wants a keepsake, the blend-your-own single malt session sends each guest home with a signed 700ml bottle. The venue trades Wednesday to Sunday from 2pm, with the kitchen serving from 5pm to 9:30pm. Weekend and public holiday visits carry a 10% surcharge.
