Pablo's cocktail bar shooting accused refused bail

A 38-year-old man who is alleged to have shot at least 20 rounds from a semi-automatic rifle into a Hobart cocktail bar's door has been denied bail.

Wayne William Howlett was arrested on Thursday morning in relation to the shooting at Pablo's Cocktails and Dreams bar off Harrington Street just after midnight on Sunday morning.

There were 20 people inside the bar when bullets went through the steel door.

He has also been charged with carrying a firearm with criminal intent, possessing a loaded firearm in a public place and possessing an unregistered firearm.
