About The Rooftop @ The Telegraph Hotel
The Telegraph Hotel is a heritage pub at 19 Morrison Street, a short walk from the docks on the Hobart waterfront. Locals call it the Tele, and it runs a public bar, a first-floor dining room and a rooftop bar. The Rooftop sits at the top of the stairs and looks out over Sullivans Cove and the harbour. It has been weatherproofed, so events can run in the daytime or after dark, and there are electric heaters and covered tables for the cooler months. On exclusive hire the whole rooftop holds up to 120 guests, with a mix of seating and standing room. A section of it can also be reserved semi-privately for a smaller group, which suits cocktail parties, product launches, work drinks and social celebrations. Food comes as canapé packages built around Tasmanian produce, from six pieces at $40 per person to ten pieces at $61 per person. Larger items such as wagyu sliders and mini fish and chips can be added, and the kitchen marks low gluten, dairy free, vegetarian and vegan options. Drinks can run on a two, three or four hour package, from $53 per person, or on a bar tab you set and review during the night. A cash bar is another option, and arrival cocktails and a spirits upgrade can be added for groups of 20 or more.
