When the sun sets, Launceston reveals a different kind of charm — one filled with cosy bars, live music and entertainment, and a deep appreciation for local produce.
From boutique Tamar Valley wines to small-batch Tasmanian gins, whiskies, and craft beers, the city’s bar scene reflects the quality and creativity of our local makers. You’ll find cosy wine bars, buzzing pubs, and sleek cocktail lounges dotted throughout the CBD and surrounds. Whether you're after a relaxed glass of something local, a tasting paddle of craft brews, or a perfectly mixed cocktail featuring homegrown spirits, there's no shortage of places to settle in. After dark, Launceston comes alive with live music, theatre, and local events. Catch a touring act or comedy show at the beautifully restored Princess Theatre, or enjoy a film and a glass of wine at the art deco-style Star Theatre — a lovingly preserved 1930s cinema turned boutique venue in Invermay.
