Hotel SOHO to shut its doors
IT’S the end of an era with the popular Hotel Soho closing on October 2, farewelling the long-running trend of $5 parmis for hungry uni students and relaxed boozy nights for young and old.
The Davey St, Hobart, pub had featured some cryptic Facebook posts recently saying “TWO MORE TIMES!!!” on September 19 and “ONE
LAST TIME!!!” on Sunday before officially making the announcement on Monday.
“THE TIME HAS COME. October 2nd will be the last time SOHO opens its doors.
“On behalf of the staff and management, we would like to thank everyone who has supported us over the years and we wish you all the very best.”
Hobart real estate firm Knight Frank has the Davey St property advertised for sale online with “price on application” and boasting a “long established, trading history”.
The bar, restaurant and function facility is renowned for its affordable meals such as the massive chicken schnitzels and the “Parmageddon” which is a triple stacked traditional parmi.
The pub’s colourful history includes a kitchen fire in 2017 that took three fire crews to contain.
