Also housed in the Tarkine Hotel is the classic Ahrberg Bar, the place to be in for Corinna for a refreshing beverage or cafe style coffee. Named after Johnny Ahrberg, the west coast’s well renowned ferryman of the Pieman River, Ahrberg is a place to meet and to socialise. Many guests share stories of life from all over the world while relaxing with a glass of fine Tasmanian wine and a fresh homemade muffin or biscuit from Somerset’s VJ’s Bakery.
A selection of local Tasmanian wines and beers are served at the bar, which is really a tavern, as no accommodation is available in the hotel itself. Some of the well known Tasmanian wineries we host flavours from include Josef Chromy, Holm Oak and the exceptional Pressing Matters. Beer is served in a can or in schooners and both James Boag and Cascade will be sure to give you a refreshing fix.
Corinna also hosts a collection of local Tasmanian spirits, and global brands such as Jack Daniels, Jim Beam and Bundaberg. The new whiskey bar provides guests access to a range of top shelf Tasmanian whiskeys, distilled locally throughout the state. Tasting notes give you a sense of the aging process and the flavours and style of each product.
The Ahrberg bar is open daily, all year round. Hours vary depending on the time of year. During Peak season, operating hours are 8am-7pm, while during Off-Peak season hours are from 9am-5pm. Takeaway beverages are available at standard retail prices. BYO is available at a $10 surcharge per bottle.
