Hobart Workers Club - Hobart, Tasmania

We’ve been regular patrons of this pub, but our recent visit left us with mixed feelings. This time, I decided to try the Thai fish cakes, which came with sweet chili sauce, and I also ordered chips. When I asked for ketchup for my chips, the staff informed me there would be a $2.50 surcharge. At first, I genuinely thought it was a joke, but the server maintained a straight face and even suggested I swap the sweet chili sauce for the tomato sauce if I didn’t want to pay extra. I declined and was directed to the bar to make the payment.

To my astonishment, my son went to pay, and the person at the bar remarked that the ketchup should’ve just been given to us. However, they still took the money. I found it baffling to be charged extra for tomato sauce at a sit-down pub, something I’d expect only from a takeaway shop.

Additionally, I’d like to suggest a small but significant improvement for the pub’s event nights, such as trivia or billiards tournaments. It would be helpful if staff went around to tables to remind customers that the kitchen is about to close, giving them a chance to order more food. On this visit, we were disappointed to find out the kitchen had already closed without any prior warning. In the Summer we lose track of the time when the sun is shining.

While the pub is still a place we enjoy visiting, these experiences dampened our evening. A little more customer care and flexibility could go a long way in maintaining loyal patrons.

Great friendly staff, decent food, cool touch with own TVs at the food tables ! No pokies 👎🏼 sticky floor… Okay experience overall.

Great place for food in downtown if you're a member, or a guest of one. Generous portion size, and incredibly tasty food. The cheese and bacon burger was outstanding. My friend had the chilli cheese door which was huge and messy. Definitely a good option also.

It was years ago that I last came here....and that was only to really play a few games of pool and have a couple of beers.

This time around I decided to have a meal so I went for the Hawaiian Schnitzel with and extra gravy on the side and a pint. It all came to about $38 (the gravy being extra) which turned out to be very good value. The wait time wasn't very long (which was good as I was very hungry) and served by a very friendly waitress.

If you're not a member it's nit a big deal, simply sign the guest book at the bar and away you. It was clean with a comfortable atmosphere I inside. I didn't use the toilet but would have to assume they'd be more than adequate. There us parking on Liverpool Street right out front or nearby with the best thing being no parking payment required after 6pm.....perfect for dinner time.

Great food at reasonable prices.
We had crumbed scallops which were served with chips and salad.
Scallops were served some with roe on , and were fresh and tasty.
The chips were crunchy and well cooked.
Great food and reasonable priced drinks.
