Where to Taste Tasmania's Wine and Food From Launceston to Hobart

"A 20-seat, walk-in-only Hobart wine bar with a playful, convivial atmosphere: expect mysterious nightly wine selections, oysters, vibrant share plates and a focus on low-intervention, small-producer bottlings." - Betsy Andrews

Good vibes all round with the long communal bar seating and intimate benches off to the side. Even the LP stand is a seat if you're keen! Wine list hits hard despite it's size and great value small plates.

Loved this wine bar! Bar snacks were great and had some interesting pours. Service could have been more attentive. Recommend getting there early not to queue outside, but totally worth it for the vinyl music and good vibes.

Good vibes all around Visited alone and it’s a great environment to chat with new people at the communal bar It is very cozy. It adds to the vibes but it also means it’s quite tight in there, so be warned if you have accessibility needs. I also appreciated that Sonny is walk-in only (no resos)

Just went here tonight! The food was terrific. Full of flavour, simple but also complex at the same time, so tasty! Staff were all so friendly and bad a good vibe going. They were so helpful in choosing wines and food (in particular this one waitress who helped me choose a wine and carefully went through the menu and helped with portioning sizing). Atmosphere was great. It's small, but it's cosy at the same time. Would 100% recommend and would definitely come again!

Vibes and music were impeccable, and the staff were absolutely wonderful and accommodating. Food was prepared fresh and we had good recommendations for the wine (see: mystery wine on the menu!) Apart from the alcoholic options there was also a very delicious non-alcoholic cider from PRAH that we’ve been unable to find at any other bar / restaurant since.

10/10. No notes. The staff are friendly and the service is excellent, wine selection is carefully curated and the food is superb. Sonny is very small and intimate, has a beautiful understated interior and playing music on vinyls is the cherry on top. This is a must-visit venue for anyone with an appreciation for great food and wine (those with many dietary restrictions, this one may not be for you, sorry).

Such a cool little spot! The menu was super cool, everything was incredibly well done. Staff were up there with the best I have ever experienced at a wine bar. We went at open, so didn’t have to wait, but there was a line around the corner when we left an hour and a half later.

Truly excellent spot. Visiting from NYC and there is just something special about this place - I wish there was a way to capture this vibe and bring it back to the city. Had a great chilled red, and the green tomato + anchovy toast was a treat. Loved the records they were playing and service was great. It’s a small place, so you’re gonna want to show up right when they open, or within 15-30 minutes to get a seat (especially on a weekend). Worth a stop in Hobart!

I honestly wish I would've gotten better photos but I was having so much fun enjoying my experience and food that I didn't care! This place reminded me of one of my favorite restaurants in Brooklyn while miles away in Hobart Tasmania. The vibes were impeccable. People were singing along to the record player that filled the room with sweet ballads and sing-alongs. On top of that the dining area shares a space with the kitchen so you pretty much get to watch as the chef prepares everything to order. Now, of course, there are some premade portions to the dinner, but nonetheless seeing the chefs precision to detail, timing and flow was such a treat. The service here was also amazing. My glass wasn't empty the entire three hours we stayed. And even though the menu was tiny, everything was so delicious from the oysters in the beginning to the herby pasta in the end. I had such a fantastic time here definitely will return next time I'm in town.

Stopped in here for a quick glass of wine before a nice dinner at Dier Makr. The vibe is great, record player, dim lights, candles, and tons of wine on display. Staff here is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about wine, wine making, and food. The wines by the glass change pretty frequently, however for reference I had a great Riesling and Rosé. Also ordered the prosciutto toast which was borderline incredible. The richness of the dish was amazing. Definitely a great place to enjoy a couple glasses of wine, and a bit of food!

Wonderful skinny bar with a couple of funky dudes running the joint. Amazing wine choices by the glass and bottle. Ask for the Tasmanian reisling Two Tonne. Or the Pinot both amazing. Cool vibes on the record player too. Well done. We will be back!
