Reviews
"Wonderful pub/restaurant in the heart of Hobart. I went there specifically for the live music, which was awesome, but the food was also outstanding ! I highly recommend their lamb shoulder. It’s super tasty and fills you up really well ! The staff was more than friendly and made this experience memorable."
"My friend and I are traveling from Perth. The service was great. Very friendly people. I loved the dog cuddles! The onion rings were amazing. However the lamb was chewy and hard, not a nice flavour and full of fat. We could barely eat it. I don’t know if it was a bad night for that particular dish as I’ve read the reviews for it previously. But we weren’t happy with that meal. Don’t like to leave bad reviews usually but I think feedback helps the restaurant know where to improve. Other than that we had no issues."
"The food is good. We got the lamb, delicious. While the sides could be improved. The lamb and sweet potato mash were 10/10. Perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. The pizza wasn't amazing but was good. The base was perfect, not to thick, not to thin but I recommend the lamb. They were short staffed the night we were there and couldn't do cocktails but otherwise the service was good. If it's cold, get a seat by the fire."
"The Duke team were short staffed on this occasion and there were two birthdays in play, so not easy. However, the Friday band, Bona Vista Trio were jazz plus fun, food was great, took a while ordering drinks and for food to arrive but there was no hurry and the vibe was lively. People had collectively big smiles on dials. I like this family run venue, you're never going to be overly surprised but it is unpretentious. Live music. Pool table. Food. Good selection of beers, wines n spirits. Plenty of accessible parking, short walk from Hobart CBD & pleasant patrons and staff."
"Came for dinner early on a Saturday night. Had a great dinner, jumbuck pizzas were sensational, nice and fresh. Fish and chips were well made and slow cooked lamb fantastic. Had a great range if beers, a great relaxed pub feel and friendly staff."
