The pub near the ferry terminal is exactly what it needs to be: a cold Cascade or James Boag on tap, straightforward pub food, and a view over the Mersey. Popular with overnight ferry passengers in both directions — those arriving and those steeling themselves for the crossing. Unpretentious and comfortable. Tasmania's own beers (Cascade from Hobart, James Boag's from Launceston) are worth ordering here rather than reaching for a mainland brand.
