    Greasy burger and Hawthorn Pilsener. Beer good. Burger average.
    Susan M.

    It's not a burger joint. It's a very tiny and noisy bar. You cannot take drinks to the outdoor area which is much quieter with heaters (it's the dead of winter). Overpriced average quality. Need to ask for no spice in the chips. Yuck.

    Burger as it was presented, little underwhelmed with a squashed bun and a patty that doesn't touch the sides.
    Ryan M.

    For a burger joint, I expected taste but I was let down. A $15 burger should be awesome not average and what is with the packet bag chips. These guys should check out In and Out burger. Staff need to smile more. Since my last review this place has picked up its game, burgers are better presented and staff are more attentive.

    A decent selection of burgers and drinks. It is pretty popular place so gets loud, but overall a good place to grab a burger and a beer

    Chicken burger is the choice for me though have had the vegetarian mushroom burger before and was so full of flavour.

The cocktail menu was pretty extensive and every drink sounded amazing. They all cost $15 which isn't bad compared to drinks in Sydney. For my first round, I got the So Ho Lychee flavored drink - YUMMO! And the thing with the cocktails are, you can actually taste the alcohol, they don't skip. I tried my friend's Cherry Blossom drink, very yum and very strong! My next drink with the Japanese Geisha Drink which had midori and sparkling champagne - very tasty as well. Later in the evening, an R&B singer started performing and she was really talented. This is a very cool place to hang out and have a cocktail!

I spent an evening drinking whisky, eating cheese and listening to jazz. Hard to beat. If you like whiskey or mixed drinks, this is the place to go. I'm an American and I arrived in Canberra on a Wednesday afternoon. The first thing I did when I got to my hotel was Google "Canberra jazz" and Hippo Bar was the top hit. It's located right in the heart of the city center, but its vibe is very different than the touristy stuff around it. It was dark and cozy with a film noir atmosphere. If a complex murder mystery had erupted in front of me, I would not have been surprised. They are skilled mixologists too. One bartender made a drink where he filled a rocks glass to the brim with water. Then half-filled a small brandy glass with some brown liquor, lit it on fire, began spinning the brandy glass on top of the water glass, then started shaking in something from what looked like a pepper shaker, causing sparks to fly within the brandy glass. He did this for a lot longer than I expected. It was quite a show. He finished by pouring the singed brown liquor into a new glass and grating what smelled like cinnamon on top. I was impressed. The only disappointments were the wine. I had two glasses to start and both choices were mediocre. They are clearly focused on mixed drinks and whiskey. The food choices were minimal as well. I enjoyed a cheese platter, but it wasn't a meal.
