What you need to do is walk through QT's in-hotel barber shop, let your eyes adjust to the VERY dark venue and then make your way to bar. YaY! I suggest you look at the cocktail menu, laugh at the hilarious names and then choose a Cucumber Dill Collins. I then suggest you buy a bowl of popcorn chicken, high five your best mate and sit yourself down on one of the comfy couches. The staff are friendly and beautiful. The soundtrack is all types of good. Everything tastes delicious. Hooray for Lucky's Bar!

THE TIPSY BULL. CANBERRA we stopped here for a…read moredrink after a day of sightseeing. Had read about it and it had good reviews. I see why. Hard to describe as it appeared more likely to be a BBQ/Burger/ Beer venue. We found that outdoor ambiance on a Friday, after work, happy hour type time.. But we found tons and tons of Gins. Who would ever believe there could be so many! Seems Gin distilleries are the new Brew Pubs of Australia At any rate, how do you choose from 50/60 gins? Well, you have one of the incredibly knowledgeable staff ask what you usually drink, suggest similar choices and some different tastes you might like. I chose one for its shock value. It was made with ants only found in one place in the world, Northern Australia, of course. I was told the ants tasted like lime. Yeah right, but damn if they didn't. As a snack we had some incredible Sourdough Bread with a whipped concoction of Ricotta Cheese. Really great. The place was filling up with others coming for early dinner so we left, quite satisfied, happy with our find. Can't address the actual food here, but judging by the increasing crowd it must be good. Strongly suggest making a reservation. I do have a question, though. Just how cold does it have to get in .Australia for you guys to actually light all those outdoor heaters you have?

My friends and I had a great new years 2021 here. Service is very friendly and they recognise your face if you are a regular. We've also had a few work functions here over the years and the nibbles are tasty. All my reviews are standardised to the following star ratings: 1. Customer service I.e. friendly, easy to book, etc. 2. Accessibility I.e. location, decor and scenery, easily assessable or flexible, etc. 3. Work, health and safety I.e. clean, safe, etc. 4. Quality of goods and/or services I.e. good food, good movers, etc. 5. Comparison to similar for location - I.e. would I recommend this above other places

Canberra is a boring public service-inspired grey wasteland of nothingness! NOT!…read more This little hidden gem is precisely what the doctor ordered. I and her majesty went there for our wedding anniversary last Christmas Eve and today for a get together pre-Mothers day. It's a spectacularly cozy cocktail lounge with superb staff, premium drinks menu, awesome 'light' food menu and quirky Alice in Wonderland-inspired decor. Staff are always ready with excellent advice on drink choices. My favourite is the Diplomatico Reserva Rum Old Fashioned. "Tipsy Tea" is a high tea with a cocktail twist served every Saturday afternoon. Awesome couple of cocktails served with a course of savoury nibbles then a course of sweets (oh, so sweet). All for a very reasonable per person price. Suits a more mature clientele. In a hidden but nice position right in the centre of town.

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.
