Be aware that with everyone in a large party ordering separately can mean uneven servings. As long as everyone is patient it's been worth the wait! Oh and someone in our party ordered the cheeseburger spring rolls, and they were a hit!

The bistro serves standard pub fare, tried the Guinness pot pie which was delicious put down with a dark ale. The pub is divided up into a number of areas with seating on the bar side, kitchen side, and outside. There is also a stage and small dancefloor. A band was playing the night we came down. The bar population went from 2 of us plus a handful of others at 9:30pm, to overflowing with people and packed some 30-45mins later. Quiet to epic in under an hour - something which surprised me for this small Canberra venue.

The ordering and paying via QR code was convenient and service was prompt. I enjoyed their calamari and was surprised it was cut like fillets rather than the usual calamari rings.

Parking could be a challenge so it was good we had shared cars coming here. Dog-friendly! (they offer steak for the pups)

Never a long line for the bar even at peak Friday after-work drinks time. I've always been able to find a table to sit or stand, again even at peak times. The beer selection is also good, with a rotating draft selection featuring some local, local-ish, and not-so-local beers. The beer always tastes fresh and the service at the bar is always friendly. The place has a classic pub feel to it, with exposed brick walls and a fireplace, nicely lightened up by the backlit bar with its white subway tiles. Good vibes all around!

Food is good and the seating, inside and out, is pleasant. One thing to watch for are the homeless and beggers. During one afternoon we saw several people trying to beg for money; one woman was brazen enough to ask specifically for A$2, then proceeded to walk throughout the outside eating area, drinking what was left in abandoned glasses and eating what food was left behind. This is a minor annoyance but something to be aware of and expect. If we ever make it back to Canberra you can expect us to visit this pub again.
