Going to Obar was a fun experience, I hadn't been there since they moved to the new spot and it is a lot nicer.There is much more space and honestly the only thing that kinda sucks is all the stairs but once you get past that it's a pretty good venue.The drinks are low - mid process depending on what you get and the vibes are pretty good!

I wasn’t sure about this place after looking at the reviews, however tried it out anyway. I was surprised that the security was actually really friendly and we struck up a good conversation. The “earlybird” drinks were amazingly cheap and they filled glasses to the rim. The music was okay although it got very repetitive as it just felt like a lot of pop with notes of techno which you could tell the crowd was hungry for but the dj never went fully into that sort of music despite it getting much later into the night. I know you can’t cater for everyone but I think it could have changed the energy in a good way. Overall, this place seems to have a bad wrap in the reviews but it was not like people make it out on here. If you’re young and in Hobart on a weekend i’d recommend trying this place out.

Went to Observatory Bar, or as the locals call it “O-Bar”, on a Saturday night. Was fun but I think they might be cramming too many people into the building. Long waits at the bar, couldn’t move on the dance floor, and the DOSA was chockas too.

Attitude of the bouncers is absolutely disgusting- my boyfriend was denied entry to the club last night due to the type of shoes he was wearing, which happened to be his work boots. Personally I think bouncers should focus more on the types of shoes that will actually do damage, which is the toothpick thin heels that all the girls wear that I have genuinely seen puncture other peoples feet before. At the end of the day I honestly never expected bouncers to care more about shoes than public intoxication and people doing hard drugs in line. I’ve worked in bars before and our main customers are tradies, which my boyfriend is not, and I can assure that “work boots” are most definitely not on the no entry list. They just want to deny people entry for their own enjoyment.

The bouncer here with beanie( I think he is Indian) he is so rude to my husband just shouting and pushing my partner without telling anything when my husband just dancing with me. He just mad.. I think this lie rate of this club only because of him. I’d this club throw him out this club be the best..

I almost got rejected from entering obar at around 11:45 pm last night because the indian bouncer didn't accept my ID (drivers license). I am 20 years old, and my driver's licence and a credit card are all I carry with me on a night out. The bouncer was very rude, yet I stayed calm and collected as my ID was valid and real. I understand my hair has grown a little longer, and I was wearing make-up that night, but that should not excuse the rudeness I experienced. Get better security guards, please and ones that can read ID correctly.

If I could 0 star,I would be happy to give. The security guards are racist. My friend (girl) was harraser and she complained twice but thy do nothing. My anothetr fren (guy) tried to protect her but guard's (Indian) took my fren out for what reason? Racist guard coz the harrasing guy was Indian as well.

The bouncers are so rude to you. They tried to kick me and my friends out on my 21st. I’ll never come back until the bouncers have more respect for people

This is the best under 18s disco I've ever been to! There's nothing I love more than obscenely cheesey 00s music. Will serve anything to anyone! The piss Ocean in the toilets is of particular scenic interest.If you want to feel 17 again I would highly recommend.
