This is a goodie...
A great short drive north of Canberra (20+ mins), down a small road and along another lies this gem. Poachers packs a culinary punch, local wines, cheese, smoked meats and an amazing cafe set in the stunning rural setting of limestone plains and sheep paddocks complete with hens and horses. A total package, book a table, sink a bottle over any one of the platters on offer with a good mate.

Knightsbridge is a small bar tucked away in the suburb of Braddon. It pulls a diverse crowd and is part of a selection of bars in Canberra taking drinking venues to a new boutique level. Previously a bar themed around a morgue, Knightbridge is inviting, intimate and friendly along with having a very decent drinks list.

Live music - usually Thursdays + Fridays. DJs, electronica and local indie musicans in a relaxed and unpretentious location. Slightly hard to find but this doesn't mean it's exclusive by any means.

Tilley's is a Canberran institution, essentially operating as a café, bar, gallery and live music venue.

The interior is dark and moody, crowned by a semi-circular stage and surrounded by booths. A rich and progressive history awaits anyone willing to ask. Best visited for a late breakfast on Sunday or for any live performance.

Trinity is a small hidden bar found in the back streets of Canberra's China town, in the suburb of Dickson. Most Travellers would never find it as they never stay long enough to truely discover the city.

Trinity serves a seasonal cocktail list, excellent local wines and a selction of local and international beers, the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, DJs play most nights, no cover, and is great on chilly nights when it's a full house. Perfect place to have an injection of city life (without the wank) after a day in the wilderness.
