- General Info
Being one of Hobarts most iconic restaurants, we’re popular with both locals and tourists alike, so reservations are advised.
The Drunken Admiral has been operating as a family run restaurant on Hobart’s Old Wharf since 1979. We offer the very freshest Tasmanian seafood, set amongst a truly unique and vibrant maritime atmosphere.
Warmly welcome you to our nautically nostalgic restaurant, which seats up to 110 diners. As we are primarily an A La Carte establishment we have cosy 'Nooks and Crannies' everywhere, however, we have one suitable area for a party of 45 to dine comfortably together. The Drunken Admiral is crammed with maritime memorabilia to delight the diner and excite the enthusiast.
Chef Jamison Godfrey and his brigade source the freshest of local and interstate seafood. There are many carefully chosen Tasmanian wines to compliment your meal. Non-seafood, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes are also available. The Drunken Admiral is world-renowned and always popular, so reservations are advised. For larger groups, we are also happy to offer a selection of set menus instead of the A La Carte menu which will often make things a little simpler for bigger groups.
Our innovative and exciting A La Carte menu offers a great deal of choice and only the freshest of produce, and whilst we specialise in seafood, we are pleased to offer options to suit all diners. Our Fishmonger’s Board is updated each night & lists the daily catch each of which may be prepared to your preference. Together with our extensive drinks list and delicious desserts, we are pleased to offer a truly unique dining experience in the heart of Hobart’s historic waterfront.
