Bar Wa Izakaya

Such a truly fantastic dinner ! Got a few things to share, and felt pleasantly satisfied. Drinks were super unique and absolutely delicious; for whisky lovers this place was absolutely perfect. The golden sour was truly one of a kind. Even if the service and food were subpar (which they weren’t) the design of the restaurant could’ve made up for it. I truly appreciate a restaurant that takes pride in its design & I think that this restaurant does exactly that; it doesn’t falter on creating a unique atmosphere but also doesn’t try to stick out like a sore thumb.

Awesome Japanese izakaya with a great vibe — lively, warm and buzzing without being too loud. The food was excellent, full of bold and vibrant flavours, and everything we tried was spot on. Really good variety of Japanese drinks too, including sake, whisky and cocktails that pair well with the food. It’s the kind of place where you want to order a few dishes and share. Service was friendly and efficient, and the whole place just feels well run. Definitely a must-go if you’re in Hobart and enjoy Japanese food — one of those places you’d happily come back to.

Oh yes! I have never been to Japan but it couldn't be better than this, right? Oh the cocktails, the food and the atmosphere were very vibrant and bold. The cocktails list was an extensive one and their liquor collection is rich with options. The staff were pretty amazing; cool, interactive, caring and beautiful. I recommend this place. I'll be back again!
