An amazing setting with loads of character. Great service and sensational food. Couldn't fault our experience one iota
Happened upon the Drunken Admiral by accident, and has become a favourite place. The decor is fun for kids and adults, lots of nautical props all over the walls and ceiling. The Devil Fired oysters are amazing, until I came to Tasmania I had never eaten oysters before. If they have scallops on the daily specials board I highly recommend having these on the 'BBQ', basically a hot rock so you can cook them at your table. Husband orders, without fail, the Volcanic Rock Salmon. He never shares it, so I can only assume it's really good. This place does get very busy, so if you are going on the weekend make a reservation. Some of the tables are close together, and it can get a bit noisy. On the higher end of the price scale, but well worth it for fresh seafood I think.
dine here every january with brother in-law and its worth the time to go and enjoy the experiance
Great food and surroundings, well woth a return trip.
