Rude Boy

Visited Hobart for the first time and came across this gem. Rum and fried chicken? Yes please.

Tried out the below:

Party Birdy
.
The Canopy
.
Fried boneless chicken + 7 spice + miso caramel sauce
.

Overall honest review, great chill spot. Drinks were delicious, staff were friendly and helped with recommendations. Would definitely return!

Thanks team!

As a coeliac…. I am one happy camper!! Never been able to have fried chicken (always grilled) and I was in heaven !! Staff were so accommodating and had great awareness of coeliac disease! From Brisbane but will definitely be back for that fried chicken !!!!

Delicious vegan chicken and chips with THE most friendly, kind and professional service you will ever find.

I have heard about Rude Boy for ages but it was only a week ago that I went, out on a date with myself.

FAR OUT these are THE nicest people, incredibly fast service, so friendly and though I knew I would be eating total junk food my vegan chicken and chips were delicious!

Even though they are a bar and do not serve tea and coffee they make me a great big mug of tea with almond milk, and didn't charge me.

Comfy, cosy, friendly and great food.

Confession; I'm a fried chicken feind!
Love this place, always try to sneak a visit if I'm in Hobart
This is very high on my list of must visits if I'm in Hobart. I love the simplicity of the great food and epic cocktails. Its a no miss situation.
It's got a funky Caribbean feel and I think it pulls it off. There is a lot to love about this place but for me it's the chicken🍗🤯🤯🤯

Very tasty cocktails and lovely staffs 😊
We love the music and atmosphere

Came for the gluten free fried chicken, was blown away by the cocktails, service and all of the food. Made me wish I had room to eat and drink it all over again.
We went and bought the Punch and Ladle spritz in a bottle to keep the night going afterwards.
Love this place.

Loved this place! Funky casual bar, lovely staff, but who are you kidding you’re coming for the epic fried chicken!! Love how you can pick your cut, seasoning, sauce! Make sure you get the miso caramel dipping sauce game changer!

Top 3 must eat spots in Hobart. What a shame that we only found out about third on our last day of the trip. I’d give this spot 6 out of 5 if I could. The absolute best fried chicken I have ever had in any restaurant ever and that slaw. The cocktails were spot on and the their smokey take on the classic pina colada was amazing. Over the top theatrics (which I absolutely loved) and such a balance of flavour wow. Kudos to the guys behind the bar. What a spot.

Amazing food. Beautiful drinks, lovely people. Went immediately from having a beautiful burger and spritzer to a nearby bottle-o to purchase their Punch & Ladle fizzyyum beverages

Must visit when in Hobart is you’re in to rum or cocktail’s! Also the vegan fried chicken 😘👌 Get the Canopy cocktail!

Vegos & Vegans - this is your place for a fried "chicken" fix! The food is so good, my partner isn't veg so he got the beef brisket and he was also really happy. The sides are awesome as well. Highly recommend!

Cute atmosphere and excellent cocktails. Rude Boy was recommended to us by a bartender in Melbourne - you know it's going to be good if another bartender recommends it!

Delicious pregnancy friendly food and NOT dry overly cooked burnt food. The food was juicy, tender and well cooked. Service was outstanding. Great music.

Awesome cocktails and awesome pub food. Highly recommended

If I could six star this place, I would.

Succulent, juicy chicken perfectly coated with a thin, gold and crispy armour of batter made for one perfect bite after another (the "Almost Whole Bird" option is pictured here).

We couldn't get enough of it and ordered extra Spicy boneless chicken breast bites with Rum BBQ sauce - an absolute banger of a choice , with the spicy coating and tangy-sweet bbq making for a sweet little dance of flavour.

The sides were also spectacular - nicely grilled, buttered corn kernels plus crispy-out and tender in sweet potato fries to round out our fowl-mouthed dinner.

Would definitely recommend a try (and many more)!

Maybe it’s the dark & stormy talking but damn that chicken burger was good. For $16, I’m so full! :) delishhhh
Also super calming sensory toilets and fun atmosphere

Great atmosphere, my partner & myself enjoyed the drinks we ordered the staff was very welcoming & friendly. Our meals were delicious and worth what we paid. Will be sure to return next time we visit Hobart.

A must visit when in Hobart! Delicious fried chicken and cocktails. Lovely staff and awesome atmosphere. Extensive cocktails list. Try the feed me menu if you're hungry.

Always a pleasure to come here. Great food. Amazing atmosphere. Delicious cocktails.

Food is always top tier here. Separate fryers for celiacs and only 5 items on the menu that aren’t gf. Definitely worth a visit
