1808 Lounge Bar



Tucked beside Stelo at Pierre's, Bar Stelo is our intimate escape for lovers of fine wine, crafted cocktails, and the art of Italian aperitivo. It's a place to pause before dinner, linger late into the night, or gather with friends over small plates designed to share.
The bar's spirit is classic yet contemporary — where vintage elegance meets a lively energy. Our shelves are lined with carefully chosen wines, local treasures from the Tamar Valley alongside celebrated Italian drops, and a cocktail list that nods to tradition while embracing innovation.
Cicheti and seasonal plates showcase the same dedication to produce and provenance as our restaurant — refined, yet unpretentious, created to spark conversation and complement every glass.
At Bar Stelo, time slows. Whether it's a quick negroni at the counter or a night of stories and laughter with friends, you'll find the warmth of Italian hospitality and the charm of Launceston's most elegant bar.
We acknowledge Tasmanian Aboriginal People as traditional custodians of this land, we pay respect to Elders past and present, as they hold the memories, traditions, culture and hope for generations to come. We recognise and value Aboriginal histories, knowledge and lived experiences and commit to being culturally inclusive and respectful in our working relationships with Aboriginal People.
