Society is the only place I actually want to drink in Salamanca. I tend to avoid that corner of…read moreHobart, because it's touristy and gross, but it's so nice to know that somewhere like Society exists down there and I can take refuge there. The gin selection is exceptional and there's always a gin of the week, which is a great opportunity to try a gin you may not have encountered before. Society also now makes their own tonic syrup in house, and I believe they're the first place in Hobart to be doing that. ALL THE KUDOS! It's such a special sort of offering and shows how much they care about their drinks. Also back to gin again, Society do gin tasting platters... correct. Half nips of four different gins (be it a Tasmanian platter, an Australian platter or a tailored platter) with a splash of tonic and a garnish to suit each different gin. A really fun way to try a few different variations in one sitting, because gins can be so different! I LOVE GIN! There are always plenty of events happening at Society too, all posted on their facebook, from regular weekly events like Tapas Tuesday to one-off events like fundraiser dinners and spirit masterclasses.

This Thursday was raclette night and they take bookings for the few tables they have for a 6pm or 8pm seating - we booked 8pm but decided to sit on one of the comfy couches. The raclette was delicious and a generous portion of melted and crispy raclette cheese and prosciutto over potatoes with a bit of salad for $15. There is a huge selection of spirits though we had a nice bottle of Cabernet which was also good value.

Gold Bar is my new favourite place to drink in Hobart... but only if I can score the booth table…read morebecause my butt doesn't fit comfortably on the bar stools (which is devastating, because the bar is such an exceptional place to sit) and the other chairs are all a bit low and awkward for me. Seriously though, that's my only complaint about the place, otherwise I'd be throwing all five stars at it. Ian has an utterly outstanding collection of gins on his shelves, largely populated by Australian distilleries. There's always a gin on the specials board but everything's so reasonably priced, who cares if it's on special or not? And then there are cocktails. Ian knows how to play the questions game to find a great cocktail for you. And if you're SUPER lucky, he might even saltbae your drink with edible glitter. Stop, I can't. I can't even.

Dier Makr has all the ingredients to make me fall in love with it (restaurant style, not marriage…read morestyle), and yet... I walked away underwhelmed. Or, not really... maybe just whelmed (are we in France?). Here's the thing--recounting individual dishes after my dinner date, I was pretty excited about each (though the main flavour of the night was "salty"), but my response for the entire dinner was "it was ok". I think it felt like it was missing a main meat course, or something, like the big shebang wasn't there? I'm confused and upset. The thing about Dier Makr, though, is that the menu is seasonal and changes month to month and sometimes (often?) week to week, so I only need to give it a few weeks and it'll be different, and I'll give it another chance, and perhaps then I'll be blown away. Watch out for the update, I guess. Side note: if I was rating this on drinks alone, it would get five stars. The first time I visited was just for drinks (and a couple of bar snacks), and after a round or two of menu item cocktails (all delicious) my friends and I challenged the bar with a couple of rounds of specific orders, which they totally knocked out of the park. We left that night a little bit in love with the place. Before the cocktails, we shared a bottle of wine, which came with a little handwritten note of staff opinion about the wine. Every single wine in the cellar had one. I wanted to read through that cellar like it was a library. Honestly, five stars.

Ok. Let's talk about the Den. It's been open for around a month and still smells deliciously like…read morepine or some other lovely wood, because it's got a ridiculously expensive fitout that's around 97% wooden. If that scent never leaves, it will be too soon. I would go to the Den just to take a nice big deep breath into my lungs. What scares me is that the Den is on the Salamanca strip, and the Salamanca strip is for tourists and people who aren't really My Kind of People, so I can love the Den all I like but if the people in there are horrible, what's the point? Maybe I'm jumping the gun here. It's all the way down the far end. Maybe I'll be safe? I just get anxious about these kind of things. Here's what I can also say for certain: the cocktails are unique and bangin', and the food is absolutely delicious. The loaded fries are so, so good, and the banana spring rolls for dessert are selfishly unshareable. Give your spring rolls to nobody. Eat them all yourself. No sharesies. Get your own. Everything's at Salamanca prices but something has to pay for that fitout. Five stars if you turn the thumping Salamanca music volume down a bit so my friends and I can actually hold a conversation.
