Bar Wa Izakaya (TASMANIA)

Funky bar with extra seating at the rear. The venue was bustling. The menu was large both food and drink. I would have preferred a share option or chefs tasting. We had various plates but my favourite was the dumplings and kimchi. It was disappointing that we didn't have one designated waiter. There were various times we wanted to order more drinks and sides but there was no one around. Instead we left and had a nightcap back at the hotel. Food and atmosphere was exceptional but the service needs attention.

Hosted our wedding dinner at Bar Wa Izakaya and it couldn't of been more perfect! The food was exceptional and the atmosphere was BUMPIN' We cannot write a review that exemplifies how much we love this restaurant. Our wedding guests have all said the food was a highlight, the drinks were delicious and after the dinner they cleared the room to make a small dancefloor for us. Would highly recommend to anyone in Hobart. I've travelled to many countries and eaten at many restaurants and Bar Wa Izakaya may be my favorite place to visit. So happy with our choice for the dinner venue and can't wait to visit again. I also want to thank Megan, Amelia, and the other bar/wait staff for absolutely pulling out the stops and making it a night to remember. You guys are amazing, your communication and professionalism were perfect.

This place is amazing. Honestly, we ended up here by pure luck. We called and they didn’t have any bookings, but we arrived, walked in, and they gave us a table outside. I wanted to make a booking for the next day because I thought the place inside was incredible. However, even though the service and the food were amazing, it took too long. My dish took over an hour to arrive, and although they eventually discounted it from the bill, I still feel that the food came out little by little, and we never got to eat together as a family. But as for the taste, the food was amazing.
