Sonny

This is a must-visit in Hobart! This intimate spot has a warm and inviting atmosphere, and great music sets the perfect tone for an enjoyable evening. The knowledgeable and friendly staff made the experience special. They’re fantastic at helping you navigate their impressive wine selection and find the perfect match for your taste. The food was just amazing. We ordered the warm olives, a plate of cheese, the mussels & capocollo toast, and every dish was flawless. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and you could tell everything was made with care and high-quality ingredients. The menu changes frequently, keeping things fresh and exciting. The entire experience was out of this world, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend for an unforgettable evening!

You can't book and you may end up in a queue but don't let that put you off. Sonny is a terrific wine bar with awesome food. While the menu is limited, the quality, portions and presentation are well worth it. Staff are great and the ambience is intimate and warm. Perfect for a couples night out.

In a single word - wow! Amazing wine selection, affable staff, phenomenal local food, super cozy atmosphere. Lighting and music are a vibe. Worth the queue. Will be back.

I can't say enough good things about the service at this restaurant. Alex truly cares about his guests. I was blown away by the service that he gave to the 2 of us. We had stellar reccs for wine and for food and truly enjoyed our time at Sonny's. Well done Alex!

Been waiting ages to go and they didn’t disappoint! Great food, staff casual and great and mystery wines… awesome! Will be back

The moment you step inside, you're enveloped in a warm, inviting atmosphere. The carefully curated wine list is a testament to the owners' passion, and the food is simple yet incredibly flavorful. I still dream about that prosciutto! The staff are the heart and soul of Sonny. Their knowledge and enthusiasm for their craft are infectious. It's the kind of place where you feel like a regular even on your first visit. The vinyl collection adds a delightful touch of nostalgia to the already charming ambiance.

We first went to Sonny's in 2021 and I couldn't stop raving about it to family and friends; we try and make it our go-to place whenever we visit Hobart. And last night, it didn't disappoint AGAIN! The wine board was extensive, and I sampled the gold star offerings (wine by the glass). With some guidance from the knowledgeable Kat, each drop fitted my palate perfectly. We "ate the board" so to speak until we couldn't eat any more, and then I topped it off with an extremely smooth local whiskey. This is definitely our happy place - the wine, food, music and atmosphere are in sync and we left as delighted customers. Thanks Sonny, we'll be back!

Such a good vibe wine bar in Hobart. Their menu is so simple but strong for wine combinations. The wine list also looks good. This place may not be for everyone because it is a very small space where you need to sit at the bar with very close proximity to other people. But it makes me feel different. The combination of food, wine, and mood is something I really like.

I honestly wish I would've gotten better photos but I was having so much fun enjoying my experience and food that I didn't care! This place reminded me of one of my favorite restaurants in Brooklyn while miles away in Hobart Tasmania. The vibes were impeccable. People were singing along to the record player that filled the room with sweet ballads and sing-alongs. On top of that the dining area shares a space with the kitchen so you pretty much get to watch as the chef prepares everything to order. Now, of course, there are some premade portions to the dinner, but nonetheless seeing the chefs precision to detail, timing and flow was such a treat. The service here was also amazing. My glass wasn't empty the entire three hours we stayed. And even though the menu was tiny, everything was so delicious from the oysters in the beginning to the herby pasta in the end. I had such a fantastic time here definitely will return next time I'm in town.

Stopped in here for a quick glass of wine before a nice dinner at Dier Makr. The vibe is great, record player, dim lights, candles, and tons of wine on display. Staff here is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about wine, wine making, and food. The wines by the glass change pretty frequently, however for reference I had a great Riesling and Rosé. Also ordered the prosciutto toast which was borderline incredible. The richness of the dish was amazing. Definitely a great place to enjoy a couple glasses of wine, and a bit of food!

Wonderful skinny bar with a couple of funky dudes running the joint. Amazing wine choices by the glass and bottle. Ask for the Tasmanian reisling Two Tonne. Or the Pinot both amazing. Cool vibes on the record player too. Well done. We will be back!
