The Public Bar is the heart of the Stanley Hotel, the place for a drink, a chat with locals, or to catch a game on the big screen. Settle in with a round of pool, enjoy live music, cosy up by the fire, or grab a board game for a relaxed night with friends. The bar menu serves up plenty of snacks, and every Friday night locals and visitors gather for the much-loved “chook raffle.”
Step inside and you’ll find a crackling wood fire through winter and walls lined with black-and-white photos of Stanley dating back to the 1830s. Enjoy a good coffee or explore a fantastic range of Tasmanian wines, spirits, cocktails, and beers, including brews from the Breheny Bros. whose family heritage ties back to the Stanley Hotel in the late 1860s. More than just a bar, this is where history, community and good times come together in Stanley, open daily from 11:30am.
