About The Den
The Den is a cocktail bar on Salamanca Place in Hobart, set in a heritage building and open from midday. Its drinks lean on Tasmanian and house-made ingredients, and the kitchen serves food from noon. Functions take place in the bar's loft room, which has its own private bar. It holds up to 50 for cocktails or 40 seated, and the function form takes groups of 25 to 65. Pricing depends on the day and time. From Sunday to Thursday nights and on Friday and Saturday daytimes, the space can be used for a $100 refundable deposit. Friday and Saturday nights carry a minimum spend of $3,500 for two hours, $4,000 for three or $4,500 for four, with a $1,000 deposit. Food is ordered as share platters, each feeding about eight to ten people, from chicken bao and karaage to croquettes, meatballs, calamari and cheese or antipasto boards. Outside food is not allowed apart from a celebration cake. Audio-visual gear can be hired through the bar's partner suppliers, but live bands and DJs are not permitted because of noise limits. As a heritage building, the function room has no wheelchair access, though a public accessible toilet is about 20 metres away.

Can we bring a DJ or band?

Can we bring our own cake or food?
A celebration cake is the only food you can bring in. The bar supplies cutlery and napkins for it, but the kitchen doesn't cut cakes.
