The Hope and Anchor Tavern[1] (formerly known as the Hope and Anchor Hotel, the Alexandra, the Whale Fishery, and simply the Hope) is a historic public house located in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. It was established in 1807, and holds one of the oldest pub licenses in Australia. However, its claim to be the oldest continuously licensed pub is sometimes contested due to periods of closure.[2][3]
