What's on

Every week

• Wednesday — 4pm – 6pm

  Oyster hour

  A dozen east coast oysters and two glasses of dry Tasmanian sparkling for $58. Walk-ins only, first in best dressed, and we stop when the tray is empty.

• Thursday — 6.30pm start

  Six glasses, one region

  Josie pours six wines from one Tasmanian region and talks for about four minutes total. $45 a head with bread and cheese. Twelve seats at the marble bar, bookings taken.

• Friday — 8pm – midnight

  Records and late plates

  Someone brings a milk crate of vinyl, the kitchen keeps sending terrine and potatoes until eleven. No cover charge, no queue policy, just get here early if you want a table.

• Sunday — 2pm – 6pm

  Long lunch

  One shared menu at $65 a head, laid down the long table in the back room. Bring a book, stay for the afternoon, and be home before dark like a sensible person.

Through the year

• July

  Dark and cold, a week of braises

  Nine nights of one big braise a day, served with mash and a glass of something red and warming. We list the dish on the door at 3pm each day.

• September

  New release tastings

  Four Thursdays running, we open the fresh-release whites while they are still nervous and young. Winemakers are not always in the room, but the wine is.

• November

  Wharf table

  One long table set outside on a still evening, forty seats, one menu, tickets released a month ahead. Postponed rather than cancelled if the weather turns, which it will.

• December – January

  Summer opening on Tuesdays

  We open the extra night from December to the end of January, mostly for oysters, chilled reds and people who have finished work early.
