Pretty darn hip y'all. Eighty Six is definitely one to hit while you're living/visiting Canberra…read more Its a small but well formed space and the best seats in the house are for sure over the kitchen. Order one (duck bun) or two (another duck bun) starters and watch young chefs show off their skills. Eyeball their creations and let that help you decide what to order next. At a glance the menu could be Italian - scratched onto a dark wall in white chalk - but when you read (el loco hot dogs, ceviche taco) its more City of Angels (Ghetto Beef) meets mod Euro (sangria ragu parpadelle). My one dish recommendation is the Lemon Ricotta gnocchi with asparagus. *Drool* . I just need to get over the prices! Is all Canberra this way?? EightySix feels like a passion project of the new school cool. Dude chefs. Dude food. Dude music. Dude, it's good.

Tortellini, lamb and cauliflower were brilliant. Lamb shoulder best dish I've had this year!! Wine list need a surgeon unfortunately But still some good by the glass Bottled wine is far too OS focused. 3 or 4 more reliable rock star Aussie wines by the glass and I would fly here to eat. Service - fun+professional+ young=right on the money. Well done.

Menu average pub food with a bit of seafood chucked in. The prices were not that expensive but for the food that we got I found it to be over priced. The servings were of a reasonable size. The garlic bread was terrible it was over cooked and dripping in oil just too much. You had to go and get your own cutlery as there was no table service. I've definitely had worse but I've also had a lot better pub meals for the same price but if u just wanted a simple meal and a drink it's fine. Sorry no photos.

My wife and I found this place during a weeklong stay in Canberra. It is near the Central Bus Stop…read moreand City Central, surrounded by many other eateries, shops, etc. This is your typical Irish bar, featuring Giuness beer, but they have plenty of other beers on tap including our favorite: BentSpoke Crankshaft. 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.

There are very few nice things to say about this place situated in the Belconnen mall…read more Ambience- the music was loud and the songs were covers of mainly classic rock by ne'er do well performers. The covers were of standard songs for those familiar with the classic rock genre and the mutilated version of a Crosby, Stills and Nash song was particularly grating. The decor was standard chain restaurant. And frankly if you live in Australia the charm of an Australian themed restaurant seems over contrived an pathetic and would work better for stupid Yankees and tourists who think that this is what Australia is about. Service- What an absolute joke!!! I told the waitress that two of us would be sharing the prime rib. Only one plate came out. No water. No drink refills. No one asked us how our overpriced steak was (overcooked). And we had to leave the table to pay the bill because the waitress couldn't be bothered to bring it to us. The waitress seemed young, inexperienced and poorly trained. I asked her manager about it when we left and I got a pretty pathetic "Yeah we know the service can improve. Sorry". If they are going to charge outrageous amounts for what is basically a chain steakhouse the service had better be a lot better than this. I've met friendlier staff at McDonalds! The manager was unapologetic for the overcooked steak and the poor service. I doubt they'll stay in business long with their attitude. Food- Let's be honest here... My half blind uncle missing his taste buds due to agent orange exposure in Vietnam could cook a better steak. Who on earth charges $30 for an overcooked steak / "prime rib". It wasn't prime rib. It was an overcooked steak and if you want prime rib I suggest hog's breath and not this place. The coleslaw was a meager portion but had some nice crunch. The house salad was a paltry small handful of mixed leaves overdressed with balsamic dressing (no choice on what the salad comes dressed with). The chips were pretty much standard for a frozen and par cooked product. They weren't fresh cut nor were they anything resembling crispy and they were hidden under the streak and became even soggier. $4 for a sasparilla and almost $4 for a coke and no refill. Even my local club can manage a couple of refills for that price. The BBQ sauce was average at best and the "caramelized" onions had barely seen a couple of minutes on the flat top. They still were rather firm and lacked any color to suggest actual caramelization. There is a nice play area for little ones to enjoy whilst parents eat and that is the only reason this place manages one star. Final verdict- Don't bother. There are less expensive places to sit down and enjoy in Belconnen Mall. If you want a nice prime rib done right go to that other place in Civic. And as far as the service goes my cranky 113 year old Nanna with one eye who is hard of hearing could give better service!
