About Customs House Hotel Hobart
Customs House Hotel is a historic pub and hotel on Murray Street, across the road from the docks and a short walk from Salamanca and Battery Point. Its ground floor holds the Derwent Bar and a restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For private events the hotel runs Vue, its function room. Vue has indoor and outdoor areas warmed by modern gas fires, a bar of its own and a dance floor, and the hotel looks out over the River Derwent. The hotel pitches its functions at corporate events, celebrations and smaller gatherings, and its staff help each host choose the food and drinks. Room hire is $300 from Monday to Thursday and on Sunday, and $500 on Friday and Saturday, with day rates on request. Food comes from the hotel kitchen as share platters. Choices run from sandwich triangles, sliders and skewers to hot nibbles, seafood, savoury pastries, antipasto, cured meats and Tasmanian cheese, with gluten-free versions of most. All food and drink must be supplied by the hotel, and cakes brought in attract a $35 fee. Decorations are welcome by arrangement, though candles are not. DJs are not allowed, as the noise carries to hotel guests, and the hotel does not host 18th birthday parties. A $150 deposit holds the date, and the full room hire is due four weeks before the event.
