Pubs & Bars · Canberra
Where Canberra drinks — the rooms worth a Friday night
Hand-picked pubs and bars across Canberra, sorted from the rooftops with the city view down to the basement spots only the locals know. We've kept the list short — every venue here is one we'd send a guest to without a caveat.
Canberra has its own personality after dark — and it isn't the same in every neighbourhood. The list below covers the rooms we'd take a visiting friend to: a craft-beer pub for the early-evening pint, a rooftop with the view, a speakeasy where the staff still cares about the cocktail.
Most premium pubs in Canberra open by 6 PM and run until 1 AM (last call typically 45 minutes prior). Smart-casual works almost everywhere; some rooftops enforce closed-toe shoes. Most accept cards but a few of the older bars are cash-only — worth checking before you go.
Friday and Saturday rooftops fill by 8 PM in season — reserve a table if you have one in mind. Weekday evenings are easier, and many places run "industry nights" Mondays and Tuesdays with significantly better cocktail prices. Rovostays concierge can hold a table at most of the venues below.
