About New Sydney Hotel
This Irish pub sits at 87 Bathurst Street in the Hobart city centre. It pours 18 taps of classic and rotating craft beers alongside Guinness, and keeps a wide range of local gins and whiskies from Tasmania and further afield. Groups have three areas to choose from. The Chapel Room sits away from the main bar as a fully enclosed private room, with warm lighting and one long shared table seating up to 20, and a TV for anyone who needs to present. The Upstairs Dining Room is a semi-private space above the main bar, with high ceilings, tall windows and plenty of daylight. It seats 55, or holds 70 for a stand-up event, so it suits larger dinners, milestone celebrations and work functions while keeping the pub atmosphere close by. Out the back, the laneway beer garden takes groups of up to 40 in a casual setting. Part of it is covered and heated for the colder months, and it catches the sun when the weather is warm, so it works year round for birthdays and relaxed get-togethers. Pub food runs seven days, and the front bar has booth seating near an open fire, with live Irish music sessions on some nights. Room hire may apply upstairs, so check the details when you make a group enquiry with the reservations team.
