About Grinners Dive Bar
Grinners Dive Bar is a casual cocktail bar on Elizabeth Street in central Hobart, serving Mexican street food in a loud, dimly lit room that runs late. Tortillas are pressed by hand in the kitchen from yellow corn flour. The bar has a function space set up for parties, with its own private bar, an open fireplace and access to TVs and a PA system. The room holds up to 70 people and costs nothing to hire. Groups who don't need a private room can also make a large booking in the main bar, which keeps the party among the regular crowd. The bar opens every afternoon and trades until late, with Friday and Saturday running into the early hours. The full menu is available to function guests: tacos, burritos, quesadillas, nachos, wings and loaded fries, with vegan and gluten-free options marked through it. Drinks run to frozen margaritas, house cocktails, Mexican and local beers, and wines by the glass or bottle. To lock in the function room, guests message the team with a date and numbers. Food and drinks come from the regular menu rather than set packages.
