The Salty Dog Hotel sits right on the beachfront at Kingston Beach - one of Southern Tasmania's most loved local spots.
We've been feeding the community since the 1960s, and not a lot has changed about what we do best: great food, cold drinks, and a view you won't find anywhere else near Hobart. Come in for a casual weekday lunch, a long weekend breakfast, or a celebration worth remembering.
We serve breakfast on weekends from 9am, and lunch and dinner seven days a week. Our menus change with the seasons, and the kitchen works with fresh, honest ingredients. Whether you're after a quiet coffee on the deck, a feed with the family, or a long lunch with mates, there's always a table here for you.

We sit directly on the waterfront at Kingston Beach. The view is part of the experience - whether you're here for a meal or an event.
We're open 7 days a week, all public holidays included. Weekdays from 12pm, weekends from 9am.
Casual enough for a Tuesday lunch, capable enough for a wedding. We know how to look after people without making it complicated.
We've been part of Kingston Beach since the 1960s. That kind of history matters to us - and to the people who keep coming back.
Our main dining area is where most of the action happens. Open seven days for lunch and dinner, weekends from 9am for breakfast. Pull up a chair, order something from the kitchen, and watch the day go by. It's casual, it's welcoming, and it's right on the beach.
A dedicated space for private events and celebrations. Whether you're hosting an engagement party, a corporate lunch, or a milestone birthday, this room gives your group space to spread out with natural light and beach views to match.
A more intimate setting with a relaxed feel. Perfect for smaller gatherings, pre-dinner drinks, or just settling in for a long afternoon. The fireplace makes it one of the best spots in Kingston Beach when the weather turns.
Weekend mornings at Salty Dog are worth getting up for. We open at 9am on Saturdays and Sundays, and the breakfast menu has something for everyone - whether you're after a proper cooked meal, something lighter, or just a good coffee with a view. Grab a table outside when the weather's right, or settle in and take your time. There's no better spot for a slow morning in Southern Tasmania.
