Drifters is well known among Hobart clientele for being “that Errol Flynn place”. Decorated with memorabilia & pictures from many films starring the well-loved Tasmanian actor, as well as a “Down-Under World Map” placing Tasmania on top, photographs from Antarctic ventures, and various other flotsam & jetsam, the interior of the cafe manages to be incredibly patriotic yet somehow not overbearing. Tourists might think of it as quaint. Locals find it cosy.
It’s an incredibly comfy place, whether you’re there to eat or use the net. I went there this afternoon, feeling in low spirits. By the time I left I felt so much better. It’s just a happy place to be! The staff who served me were so friendly & enthusiastic, and my odd request for half an iced chocolate (I can never really get down a full one…) was not met with grumpiness or strange looks at all. Refreshing!
I had a chicken burger, and man, if you’re after a burger this is the place to go. They’re not greasy & limp, but aren’t unnecessarily full of pomp & “gourmet-ness” either. They are simply DELICIOUS. I could wax lyrical for hours about how perfectly, gently crisped the bun was, how juicy and high-class the chicken was, etcetera. You can just tell that they don’t use shitty, cheap ingredients to keep costs down. They make these burgers to be good and they are GOOOOOD. Oh, and they’re a great size too! Definitely worth the $10, unlike a lot of overpriced food one can find around town.
Technology-wise I must also mention that Drifters have both Mac & Windows-running computers to chose from, which earns a big tick from me, as well as other neccessities/luxuries that other internet cafes. And I must mention little dish of jellybeans on the counter, with a spoon provided so that you can take one (or two)!
To top it off I bought a hedgehog slice as I left. What I mistook to be icing on the top was actually what the entire thing was made of. It was so delicious and still not overly rich! Can these people do no wrong?
Drifters gets five out of five for being a rad, relaxed, friendly place with awesome food. Thanks for making my mood a lot better guys
