About In The Hanging Garden
In The Hanging Garden is a live music, food and drink precinct on Murray Street in central Hobart. It trades as a public bar and dining spot from Wednesday to Sunday, and its events team also hires out each of its spaces for private functions. The headline space is Cathedral, a lawn sheltered by an 18-metre-tall cathedral-style frame, with a private bar for hirers. It suits cocktail parties, wedding receptions, corporate events and long banquet tables, takes 100 to 500 guests and is usually free for private hire from Sunday to Thursday. The Garden is a green, plant-filled courtyard for 30 to 250 guests, set up for garden parties, lunches and work gatherings. Smaller groups can take Mezz Bar, a speakeasy-style room behind red curtains for 20 to 120, or Blackstar, a low-lit hifi bar with a custom sound system and a vinyl collection for up to 35. For big crowds there is the Odeon, a heritage theatre over two floors that holds up to 1,100 for screenings, talks and cocktail events. Altar Bar, a multi-level bar, can be hired exclusively for cocktail or theatre-style functions of up to 700, depending on its gig program. Food comes from the precinct's resident kitchens, which cook Mexican tacos, pizza, Korean dishes and desserts. Event pricing is set per person, starting at $75 in Mezz Bar and reaching $150 in the Odeon, and the events team can also shape a custom event around a particular idea.

This is a lovely spot for dinner & a drink, it has such a lively atmosphere. Our pulled pork rice bowl was a bit disappointing, but my partner & I enjoyed the bao buns.
