Altar

Woo what a venue ... beautiful and massive .. had the best time in Tassie

One of the only places you can get live metal in Hobart. Great venue!

Went during Dark Mofo, high energetic Punk on the bottom level, Hard core beats dancefloor level 1 and don't go to level 2 unless you are ok with very adult entertainment.

Great venue and staff. Rock on.

Altar was amazing! We went for the Judy's Drag Show and it was great!I use a cane and it was super easy to get around, there was plenty of seating and the drinks were very reasonably priced!Highly recommend checking out Altar, their events and Judy's!

Great live venue. Good range of drinks. Well set out. Great staff.

Amazing cute, intimate venue. Amazing staff and atmosphere!

Nice venue good atmosphere. Couldn't see what drinks were in the fridge so dropped a star for that

Sept 2022: this venue is always great fun. Still jaded by the NYE experience. Bar staff seem to be charging the correct prices now, so can only imagine the team member in question has been talked to.⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jan 2022. It only takes one staff member to ruin a good five star rating. I've always enjoyed Alter, either as part of the hanging gardens precinct, or as a standalone entertainment venue. Dark River (Mona - Riverlee partnership) have clearly spent a decent amount of time and thought in creating this space. Sound is always brilliant, ambiance awesome and service usually spot on. Except for this NYE just gone. There was one bar lady who was rounding up all drinks by between $1 to $1.50 each time. All other bartenders charged the set prices. I noticed this and thought it was just me. Two tap ciders were $16, however each time she charged, it was $18. I wasn't happy, and didn't want to make a scene. My mate was also at the bar and raised the same concern. He even logged into his bank account to show her. She fobbed him off and threatened to cut him off accusing him of being drunk. Logging into my bank account clearly shows two different sets of charges. Either she was rounding up for tips, or just overcharging. I hope Dark Labs/Dark River investigate. The sale records from the night should clearly show these anomalies.
