About Mud Bar and Restaurant
Mudbar and Restaurant is a modern, fresh and vibrant eatery and lounge found at the Old Launceston Seaport. Featuring an elegantly designed bar, exclusively furnished restaurant and waterfront views, Mud is an exceptional venue for any occasion.
The menu features an array of fresh local produce, with some authentic Italian produce to give original flavours. Flexibility is the key, enabling diners to grab a quick bite, or settle in for several courses. There is also a bar snack menu that runs from midday till 9pm featuring light snacks to accompany a quiet drink.
Open from 10am daily, the lounge bar features a broad spectrum of products, with imported and local beers, plenty of wines by the bottle and glass, spirits from all over the globe and coffees that cannot be beaten. Casual elegance at all times, but the crowds can build on Friday and Saturday making Mud Bar the place to see and be seen.
Established in February 2004, Mud Bar and Restaurant is a favourite with locals, and interstate and international tourists. Showing no signs of slowing down, and with a team of professional staff that always strive for high achievement and customer satisfaction, Mud Bar is a must-visit venue for everyone.

Who could forget Don and Mel Cameron’s first venture together – Tidal Water Restaurant in St Helens that opened to much acclaim in ’92? Mel and Don moved to Launceston in 2000 bringing their award-winning food and service to Stillwater and later, the Black Cow Bistro. For the past few years they have been working on their 600-acre farm, Driver’s Run, breeding ...their own flock of ‘Driver’s Run Lamb’, which they look forward to putting on the menu at Mud.
Don and Mel are very excited to return to their first loves – exceptional food, wine and service. The relationships they have forged with Scott McMurray and Kif Weber, the former owners of Mud, have made the transition into the dynamic world of Tasmanian hospitality all the more enjoyable. (Scott and Kif will continue with the highly successful restaurant Smolt, in Hobart.)
Mel and Don look forward to working with the incredible team at Mud. The front of house promises to offer the friendly, unobtrusive service that Mud has become renowned for. The kitchen will continue to produce contemporary food, influenced by Don and the classic flavours of Asia and Europe. Exciting new flavours and tweaks to the menu are already finding their way in, aiming to make happy customers every day! Watch this space for more updates........

Pyengana Cheddar
Tasmania’s best cheddar! Made by the Healey family for over 100 years, is made in the style of traditional clothbound cheddar and has an open texture and distinctively crumbly character. The flavour is deep and buttery with a well balanced tang to finish.
Tasmanian Heritage Red Square
A sumptuous traditional washed rind cheese with a mild earthy aroma and a lingering creamy taste. As with all washed rinds Red Square smells much stronger than it tastes.
Ashgrove Mr Bennet’s Blue
A relatively mild blue cheese designed to appeal to all palates. Aged for several months to develop good depth of veining and flavour.
