Crescent Hotel

Great staff & service
Beautiful publicans
Amazing atmosphere
Old pub vibe, which is rare today.
Iconic establishment in North Hobart!

Menu was great but the food was underwhelming. I suspect they were short staffed which is unfortunate but waiting 45mins for drinks to arrive was pretty poor, and there was something wrong with every meal we ordered. The meals were well presented and the prices were decent but the steak was overdone and chewy, my friend's fish was lukewarm and my other friend's eggplant dish looked more like an entree then a main. The desserts fell flat also. It's difficult times with Covid running riot but it would have been better for management to reduce the table bookings if they are short staffed rather than produce sub-standard meals. We won't be returning in a hurry but hopefully our experience was a one off and that the restaurant usually does better because the venue has a pleasant vibe.

We were pleasantly surprised with our dining experience.
The venue still has the old world charm but is exceptionally well maintained and clean. The meals were prepared very well and are a good price. The guy behind the bar is a bit on himself and over the top but was very efficient at his job and won't prevent us from returning. All in all I recommend the place and will definitely return.

What a find! We just went in because of the upstairs terrace but found a gem of a place. Food and service was fantastic! Try the anchovy doughnuts - you will not be disappointed.

This place has much to offer. Extraordinary service, outstanding meals, interesting beers on tap. There's an excellent outdoor area upstairs too.

The best pub in Hobart (it’s our local so a little biased) but cannot fault staff, food, drinks, service and atmosphere.

Rarely do you get a great mix of truly excellent food, enjoyable surrounds, friendly and efficient bar and wait staff, very broad range of beers, wines and cocktails and extremely reasonable prices but this place delivers them all, in spades.
This place is one of Hobart's absolute gems.
Go there and enjoy it.

First night in Hobart and we were rewarded with this find. Fantastic service and fabulous food. Can definitely recommend this venue for a great meal.

We booked a small function for 20 people in their upstairs room.

The service:
Everyone from the barman that took my initial enquiry and the lady who organised the booking right through to the bar and kitchen staff on the night, were professional, friendly and absolutely delightful to deal with.

The Food:
We requested grazing plates for 20 people. I was worried at the price, it wouldn't be enough food. I could have catered another function with the leftovers (which they happily packaged up to go).

I could not recommend enough.

Stacks of character, and a lovely owner who spent some time chatting. Excellent beer menu, and loads of non alcoholic too. The upstairs terrace has cracking views we saw too

I attended the New Year's Eve Dinner with a group of friends. I have nothing but praise, not only for the meal (I had the vegetarian option) which was delicious and more than i could manage, but the staff were outstanding under difficult conditions.

We called in for dinner on NYE. Disappointed to receive raw lamb - not even warm, fat not rendered. Uugghh: - (Fortunately the sides were all good - should have just stuck to them. Other meals in recent weeks have been excellent so this one was a major let-down. A sad and expensive mistake.

We had our Christmas function and it was loud, could not hear anyone speak. We were all shoved in a pokie part and it was extremely hot. The food was not very good and we were expected to use our own knife and fork to cut off our own meat from the roast they put on the table, so not very hygienic at all. I would not have a function here, maybe take your family. Very disappointing.

Great place, we had the upstairs private room as we were a big group, this was great as we had kids with us and didn't have to worry about them disturbing other patrons. Food was good and pretty fast.

Beautiful steak and the warmest welcome in from the cold, I think I've ever received. Full marks, I can't wait to drop in for a beer sometime.

Great space for private events, anniversary celebrations. Great service, great menu options and wide selection of beers n wine.

It doesn't really look anything like these photos inside the actual pub. Dunno where these photos are from, but it has carpet and it isn't renovated inside. Not too bad. A bit small, but does have a pool table and some surly looking locals. Very British pub feeling.

The food here is absolutely banging. Had the Sunday roast and it was succulent and juicy. The side salads are complimentary and flavourful.

Great lunch and the service was friendly and efficient. The specials were very reasonable and delicious. I had burger and chips and it was nicely presented and went down easy

Found this pub right on the mark, not a dinghy pub but one with nice floors and nice seating area either at the bar or the tables.
Has a pool table and tap beer with craft type beers.
Was here on a Wednesday evening found a pleasant enviroment with small chatter not too loud with jazz music playing in the background.
When i called to find out the food times, they told me meals are on all day up until 9pm.
The staff were great, had a woman who I think here name was Margaret greet me after i enquired about the food and then a gent (with slight accent) with really good customer service and courtesy, serve a beer and take my food order.

I go for both the outback style pubs with fires and the inner city bar type pubs. While this had an old feel to it, it was quite clean without stains on the floor or anything. This is more a pub/bar but still resembles a pub.

Highly recommend that you see for yourself, bout to dig into a parma with chips! Which was realively well priced, not a cheap bland meal but not highly expensive either.
