Mud Bar & Restaurant

The name is a nod to the sometimes present mud flats of the North Esk River just as it meets the broad Tamar River basin. High tide or low tide this Launceston (Tasmania) river front location is as alluring as is Mud’s stylish interior and simple, tasty food.

The hip and happening bar is a great place to be at any time of the day – more relaxing during the afternoon but with a bit more buzz, if that be your thing, during the evening. Mud serves only the best top shelf goodies and local, Australian and imported wines.

The taste plate is a good way to begin your meal while the seasonal risotti, particularly the springtime version with artichokes, are always must picks off the menu.

Lunch and dinner, 7 days, phone 03 6334 5066. Mud is at the Seaport complex.
