Prince of Wales Hotel

A pub on Hampden Road since 1843 — the original building's demolition in 1967 caused such an uproar that the BLF put a green ban on Battery Point and the planning protections that saved the entire suburb were born from the fight. It was the last pub in Hobart to serve beer from wooden casks. The current building has been recently redeveloped with twelve rooms upstairs, three hospitality awards in 2025, and a restaurant doing Tasmanian pub food properly. Jackman & McRoss is across the street. Salamanca is five minutes downhill. The waterfront workers who drank here would barely recognise the place, but they'd approve of the beer list.
