Crown Cellars

A drive-through window on Bathurst Street serves both the coffee and the bottle-shop side of this small, independently run liquor stop — order a flat white without leaving the car, then swing round for the wine and craft beer fridge. The range favours the outside-the-mainstream end of the market: Tasmanian ciders, spirits and small-batch beers sit alongside interstate craft labels, an approach that suits Launceston's growing appetite for local drops over big-brand slabs. It's a format built for convenience without giving up on curation — the sort of place locals duck into on the way past rather than plan a special trip for, but one that stocks bottles you won't find at the big chains up the road. Trading hours stretch from early morning coffee through to early evening most days, with a later Friday finish. Worth knowing about for anyone provisioning for a night in Launceston who wants something better than the supermarket aisle.
