What a great place.
Dropped in at the end of a day of exploring, eating and drinking in Hobart. With just 15 minutes to go, the staff advised against a full flight of four whiskeys — and suggested two halves.
Fantastic service, and I learnt a lot about local whiskey in my short time there. Great way to ‘ease springs’ into the evening. Beautiful setting.
I will definitely be back to try their ‘breakfast’ whiskey before midday.

Great Whiskey bar with knowledgeable staff. Excellent atmosphere both inside and out. Huge selection of Australian Whiskey plus scotch and other international whiskey. Also wine available and many cocktails. Didn’t have any of their food so can’t comment on that.

What a great place to visit if you are a beer, whiskey or mixed drink fan. Such a casual atmosphere where you sit back and relax and listen to a live band during the weekend, or just hang at the bar tasting a variety of their massive selection of whiskey. If you are in need of a small meal Lark has that as well.
Service is great and the bartenders are more than willing to help you pick what’s to your liking.
We had the Lark Distillery sampler which is a good go to.

We were fortunate to be in Hobart for World Gin Day and to celebrate it at Lark Distillery. They had several special cocktails featuring their own pepperberry-infused Forty Spotted Gin. I had a Negroni, a Gin & Tonic which came with pepperberries and a gin-charged hot tea. I also had their limited gin that had been aged in a pinot noir cask.
We shared a few of their ploughman’s in their front room which easily accommodated the seven of us.

What a find!
Perfect for an afternoon leaning about and tasting whiskey, in particular the incredible single malts for which tassie is quickly becoming famous for
The lark whiskey tasting is a bargain, an excellent way to try some top notch whiskey.
In a town where everyone is friendly, the staff here stand out for their enthusiasm, knowledge and passion. Sit at the bar and let them chew your ear — you won’t be disappointed.

What a fun place to visit! We did a tasting that was supposed to cost $ 15 per person. But after we found one of the whiskeys to be irresistible and bought a small bottle of it to take with us, the tasting fee was waived. We didn’t have any food but from what I could see the food selection was limited.

WHISKY + CHEESE.
That’s all you need in your life once you step into this cosy spot. We popped by on a weekend night and it was actually pretty quiet, but there were the cutest old man folk bands playing, and a few people even got up and had a dance which was great.
These guys are award winners. You’ve got to drop by if you’re in town.

With an hour is so to pass I was on my way to the maritime museum but the weather was turning a bit and the wind picking up and temperature getting chilly I looked around for somewhere warm and there it was right in front of me, a whiskey bar.
Warm in temperature and welcome by the staff who greeted me at the bar. With a top shelf range of whiskies that extends to all the other shelves if you are looking for something in particular there is a good chance you will find it here.
Tastings are available with the staff more then happy for you to go through the samples at your own pace and happy to answer any questions you have as they talk you through the whisky making process and how each one on offer differs from the next. For a few dollars more you can also sample some spirits too.
Opposite the bar along the wall are the whiskies available for sale. If you like a whisky and want a place to warm up on a cold Hobart day this place is for you.

The utter disappointment I felt when I first visited the Lark on a holiday to Tasmania in 2011 has stuck with me, but only in that every time I go to Lark these days I have to giggle. Similar to my feelings about Nant, after spending a bit of time gazing at Lark’s website prior to my trip I was expecting something lush and dark. Instead my friend and I walked in on a Friday night to a rollicking live country band, plastic-covered tables with stackable plastic chairs, and a very local feel.
If you go in expecting what I’ve just described then Lark is bloody good stuff, and let’s be real – the whisky should be the important thing here, and Lark’s whisky is GOOD.
Just don’t expect any fancy shit. Bonus: Lark goes off on a Friday night, go grab a burger from Stu.

I would have loved to have taken the distillery tour, but I had to settle for the in-bar one hour tasting. Well worth it. Book it here:
You’ll get some great non-scotch (it’s just single-malt whiskey when not in Scotland :-) and learn about the process. Well worth it. Lovely staff and great whiskey.

The Lark Distillery is a local whiskey distillery that also operates as a cosy pub. ‘The Lark’ is family run by some very friendly locals who have a real passion for what they do. Even better –they are really good at it with Lark whiskeys winning a number of awards (even in Scotland!).
If you don’t drink whiskey, don’t panic; they have a range of quality beers, wines and other basic spirits like gin.
You can sit inside or (if they weather is ok) out the back by the grass. They also have live music regularly (mostly jazz or folk) and on a Friday Night you have access to the ‘Quartermasters Grill’ which tends to serve fantastic low-key food like chorizo burgers etc.

We took the Lark Distillery 1 day tour — where they take you from their bar in town to their Distillery, to local parts of town including the town of Richmond and then to a winery for lunch and back to the Distillery multiple times to see how whisky is made. A great tour, with lots of education, fun, drinking, and eating all the way through.
Afterwards, we hung out at the bar drinking and watching the Blue Grass band playing at night. A wonderful day out. Highly recommend!

For lovers of whisky and booze, Lark Distilleryis a great way to spend an houhr ort wo in the heart of Hobart. $ 10 will get you 4 tastes of anything — there’s (obviously) plenty of whisky to try, but also a gin, apple brandy, rum and an Australian bush liquor.
We spent a pleasant hour or so with Becks who took us through the entire range (what can I say, my friend and I love booze and couldn’t stop at just 4 tastes!). She was lots of fun and knowledgeable, but not in that wanky «oh I know everything and you’re stupid» way that you sometimes come across at cellar doors.
If you can’t fit an entire bottle in your bag back home, just get a mini 60ml bottle that will see you straight for at least a drink or two when you’re back home and want to re-live you Hobart adventure.

Lovely spot for a relaxing drink. We were there in the early afternoon, drinking whiskey and ale while looking out over the wharf. There’s a great range of spirits and some boutique beer, the Lark spirits at least are very good value and the service was quick and easy.

For locals and visitors alike, if you enjoy a wee dram occasionally you’re bound to enjoy this little bar! As a musician, I’ve played here more than I’ve just gone for a drink but even so, it’s fun. This place isn’t cheap but I think it’s worth it for something special.
The bar staff are excellent and service is top notch here. They do serve real coffee and locally made liqueur chocolates which is great if you have to drive but I’d suggest walking or catching a cab. They stock a wide selection of boutique beers but I recommend going straight for the Lark Bush Liqueur made with Tasmanian Mountain Pepper (Tasmania lanceolata for any plant nuts out there). Alone or over a little ice, it’s a piece of Tasmania you won’t forget in a hurry!
If you don’t live in Hobart don’t despair, they have an online shop.
