Join a Dave on a fascinating, fun-filled walking tour of Hobart that combines the stories of Hobart’s past with a taste of its present-day pub culture.
The tour will take you to Australia’s oldest pub and some of its oldest buildings, where you’ll hear captivating tales of early settlers, convict heritage, maritime legends and the rise of Hobart’s social scene, all narrated with a dose of humour and enthusiasm by your expert guide, Dave.
As you stroll through the charming streets of Hobart’s waterfront and historic districts, you’ll stop at four local watering holes where you’ll enjoy samples of Tasmania’s finest craft beers, ciders and wine, all locally made on the island.
Whether you’re a history buff, a craft beverage enthusiast, or simply looking for a fun way to explore Hobart, Dave’s Hobart Liquid History Pub Tour offers the perfect blend of education and enjoyment.
Come thirsty for knowledge and drinks—Dave will make sure you leave with a smile (and maybe a few more pub stories of your own)! Cheers!
Meet your Dave in the front bar of the Hope & Anchor.
Please note:
  • Additional drinks and food are not included in the tour price.
  • Alcohol is part of this tour, therefore you need to be 18+ to tour.
  • We cannot guarantee the kitchens of Hobart will stay open for our night tours, so if you get ‘hangry’ best to eat pre tour (or maybe do a food tour beforehand with us eh?)

“At Dave’s, we’re all about showing you local as we love it all; food, drinks, history, and culture. Come explore with us on tour!”
Our philosophy is simple – collaboration. We love bringing people together to taste and experience the craftsmanship of our local producers.
Whether that is on a behind the scenes brewery tour, a walk back in time through our pub culture on a pub walk, or a corporate event – everything we do is about connecting more people to local communities.
In doing so, we are supporting the passions and dreams of those who are bringing to market some of the finest products available and making visitors aware of the toil and strife that goes into producing great drinks and food.
To us, it’s more than the art and science. It’s the stories, the legends, the scars of effort and devotion to doing something different. It’s about connecting people who are passionate about what they produce with those who are equally as passionate about what they consume.
