About The Beer Garden @ Waterman's Hotel
Waterman's Hotel sits on Salamanca Place in Hobart, inside a sandstone building put up by convict labour in 1840 as a ship chandlery. Today it is a family-run hotel with a restaurant, a bar and boutique apartments above. The Beer Garden is the hotel's main function area. It is a covered outdoor space with timber bar tables, stools and old sandstone walls, so a group can stay outside even when the weather turns. The garden takes private bookings for 30 to 80 guests and has a bar of its own, staffed just for your group. The layout suits a standing party with guests moving between the bar and the high tables, and the space can be set up to suit the event. Smaller groups can be looked after inside the hotel, where areas hold up to 40 people. For a larger crowd, the venue can host groups of up to 250 across the whole hotel. Food comes from a function menu of share platters, including arancini, pork belly bites, satay chicken skewers, calamari, chicken wings, beef or cajun chicken sliders, halloumi skewers and cauliflower bites. Gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan items are marked on the menu. Platter orders are placed ahead with the function team, at least seven business days before the event. Drinks come from the hotel's bar, which pours Tasmanian wine, beer, spirits and cocktails.
