SHAMBLES BREWERY
About four craft breweries have cropped
up in this part of town recently, but the
best has to be Shambles. It has pulled off
the marriage of a sleek , industrial-chic
bar (lots of timber and steel), with
tasty, refreshingly crisp ales. Head to
222 Elizabeth Street in the late
afternoon to join office workers enjoying a
post-work pint. Shambles understands
that a fine craft beer can be a great session
beer, too. We suggest the Afternoon
Delight: “Perfect after a hard day on the
job,” its tagline goes. “Also good for when
you’ve done f@#k-all and just want a
beer.” shamblesbrewery.com.auWEEKENDS | Hip hood

Tucked away in an old stables building that looks like
it’s been transplanted straight from England’s Kent
countryside, all exposed brick and original timber
beams, is this stunning loft apartment. Originally
a hay store to service the stables below at the Hobart
Hotel (circa 1835), it’s now a romantic, self-catered
affair, with a high ceiling and a huge roll-top stone
bath. It’s a little secret hidden away up some wooden
steps, past wrought-iron gates, and through a brick
archway at 100 Elizabeth Street that leads to the
back of Ettie’s restaurant. hayloft.com.auTemplo
