North Hobart

Attached to the State Cinema on Elizabeth Street, this small bookshop leans hard into film, art, architecture, travel, and biography. LAMY pens and Moleskine notebooks sit alongside the shelves. Open late Fridays and Saturdays — sensible hours for somewhere you're likely to arrive after the credits roll.

Next door to the pub of the same name on Elizabeth Street in North Hobart, this bottle shop opened in 2020, run by Kris and Caroline, who had already spent years turning The Winston into one of the city's serious craft beer venues. The shop extends that focus into takeaway form: hundreds of beers fill the fridges and shelves, alongside a wine and spirits range and a line of housemade hot sauce that has become a shop specialty in its own right. It is a craft-beer-first bottle shop in a strip better known for cafes and restaurants, filling a gap for North Hobart drinkers who want more than supermarket lager to take home. The connection to the pub next door means recommendations come from people who have poured the beer as often as they have sold the bottle. Open daily, from midday into the evening, it suits both a pre-dinner grab and a considered stock-up for anyone exploring North Hobart's food and drink strip.
