Reviews
"The DJs are stale as hell and won't play anything released past 2013."
"Attitude of the bouncers is absolutely disgusting- my boyfriend was denied entry to the club last night due to the type of shoes he was wearing, which happened to be his work boots. Personally I think bouncers should focus more on the types of shoes that will actually do damage, which is the toothpick thin heels that all the girls wear that I have genuinely seen puncture other peoples feet before. At the end of the day I honestly never expected bouncers to care more about shoes than public intoxication and people doing hard drugs in line. I’ve worked in bars before and our main customers are tradies, which my boyfriend is not, and I can assure that “work boots” are most definitely not on the no entry list. They just want to deny people entry for their own enjoyment."
"Going to Obar was a fun experience, I hadn't been there since they moved to the new spot and it is a lot nicer. There is much more space and honestly the only thing that kinda sucks is all the stairs but once you get past that it's a pretty good venue. The drinks are low - mid process depending on what you get and the vibes are pretty good!"
"I wasn’t sure about this place after looking at the reviews, however tried it out anyway. I was surprised that the security was actually really friendly and we struck up a good conversation. The “earlybird” drinks were amazingly cheap and they filled glasses to the rim. The music was okay although it got very repetitive as it just felt like a lot of pop with notes of techno which you could tell the crowd was hungry for but the dj never went fully into that sort of music despite it getting much later into the night. I know you can’t cater for everyone but I think it could have changed the energy in a good way. Overall, this place seems to have a bad wrap in the reviews but it was not like people make it out on here. If you’re young and in Hobart on a weekend i’d recommend trying this place out."
"The bouncers are so rude to you. They tried to kick me and my friends out on my 21st. I’ll never come back until the bouncers have more respect for people"
