The Grand Poobah in Hobart

I love the poobah. I love it’s vibe. It’s people and is a leader on having a safe, warm and welcoming place to everyone

Rustic

Its a nice enough little venue. Ive been here twice now. The atmosphere of the place is nice and gives a comfortable impression, particularly in the smaller room. The entrance to the venue is via a flight of steep stairs, so if you are somebody who is living with reduced mobility you may find accessibility to be challenging.

Love it! Love it! Love it! Great time in Hobart, sick beats, a perfect last night of our trip!

The bouncer was very arrogant. He was grabbing some woman while on duty outside the door and it was just disturbing … he denied me entry claiming it’s lockout but It was only 1am and if I’m correct Poobah doesn’t do that until 2-3am from what locals have told me? I wasn’t drunk or rude at all and in proper attire. so this behaviour is just odd. I’m from America and was looking around bars for my travel blog as I have a high amount of followers who like seeing the worst-best clubs/bars in the world. Definitely rating this place a 1/10. Need to do something about your unprofessional bouncers. Especially fondling a woman while on duty. A few other people who saw was repulsed as well.

Awesome venue, great staff, big dance floor, loads of seating, and a pool table. What more could you want!

A great LIMBO party the other night. More gay people should have come. Consider expanding marketing!A good crowd overall. Would have been great to have more 90s dance music; Thats just my personal preference.I spoke with about 6 people outside the club that didnt want to come in because of the cover charge; It was $30 to enter.Well done on putting a good party together!

Choice as!! Awesome!

Great show -Emecia - ? Pronounced Amacia. Brave courageous confronting embracing.🥂👍

Great venue for performance events. Bar staff are really friendly and fast. Very good choice of bar for a Friday or Saturday out.

Dyson Airblade - thats a 10/10.

Have not pulled a root yet.Thanks for the reply. Maybe I need to brush up on my game of Pool! ✍🏿🎼🎱

Awesome place, friendly staff, really awesome and chill vibe. If youre staying in Hobart even for a short time I strongly suggest coming down here to have some fun!Great place to play some pool too!

Very hit and miss, great events some nights, but becomes a sleazy, loud hot-box at times.

Nice pool table, friendly staff

Amazing venue, great music and atmosphere

They wouldn’t allow people to go to the toilet

One of my Hobart favourite nightspots

Nice place! Thank X behind the bar 🙌

Its pretty nice I just say.

Pretty awesome but there for an event so not sure what its normally like.

Good music events. Only downside is that it can take a while to get a drink if its busy. Perhaps they were just understaffed on the day though.

Dance the night away to sick tunes

Small place.good for young crowd and junky music

Still a grand spot late at night. Dont ever change Grand poobah!

Spacious venue with two main areas. There are often events, which almost always incur a door fee these days. Theres usually a lot of people here on Saturdays and it can be a great place to drink, chill or see a gig. Youll nearly always see a lot of people sitting out the front smoking as theres no smoking area within the venue. Its not uncommon for people to be on drugs, that is no fault of the venue though.

Best club in hobart hands down

Found my boss off his face on pills. Good times.

Pool table no good, open late.

The clientele this bar attracts is mainly hipsters on drugs. Not an enjoyable crowd to mix with.

Disgusting beats at all hours of the morning, if thats your thing.

Good place to hang out with friends. I went there for my friends birthday party. Theyve got karaoke but the only problem its an open mic so if youre down to sing for the crowd then this is the place else youre better off watching people sing with songs you wished you hear it better when it is your iTunes. Overall chill place and nice atmosphere but too dark.

Waited 40 minutes for a drink while bar staff served and chatted to their mates. One patron was served 3 times whilst I was waiting. When I eventually was served I felt very unwelcome.Maybe just picked a bad night?

Wasnt even open. Advertised as an event and nothing saying it was closed or anything. The poster next to the door even said it was meant to be open

Lost your Morales! Say no more 😟

Literally stayed there 5 minutes, the vibe was just off.

Excellent space, quality acts.

DJ looked like a somehow uglier version of Casey Neistat. Same haircut and glasses but. Luckily its dark in there and I was tilted anyway. Nice.

Fun and free. Place

Great variety of interesting local live music.

Went and saw some mates at The Battle of the Bands earlier in the week and was not disappointed! Great service, great space and the talent of this small but diverse city was exciting to see.

Great atmosphere Saturday night. A good mix of talent/ music techno/house from all over. Beer is a little pricey and nice decor. This place would be awesome with a smokers/courtyard!!

Really good atmosphere but the floor stickiness was on another level

Very relaxed atmosphere. Good use of space and good range of acts. One of the better places of its kind in Hobart.

Cosy lounge bar with frequent live music and entertainment.

Went to a halloween party at tbe nightclub. Service was fairly good with 3 staff maning the bar. Club is small and intimate with a Great vibe with nice crowd.

This place has a great vibe, Ive had some of my best nights out in Hobart at this establishment. Theres regularly cool bands playing or DJs playing good new music to keep you going all night. They are the only place in Hobart that sells club mate too which helps keep the party going. Theres 2 rooms usually with different musical acts happening in both so you can move between both rooms to keep the night interesting.

Great live music and dancing venue. The most original bar in Hobart by a long shot - if your looking for nightlife in Hobart avoid the Salamanca brigade and come here. They have an awesome glow in the dark table tennis room.

One of the better live music venues around. Usually busy on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

Large venue, good music
