Belgian Beer Cafe
With 33 bottled Belgian beers and five on tap, this is the place to quench a thirst and educate a palate.
For a Guinness and Irish-themed schmaltz head to PJ O'Reilly's, endearingly referred to by the locals as Plastic McPaddy's; the Durham Castle Arms, a cosy village-pub wannabe in the middle of cafe-filled Kingston; or King O'Malley's, where there are cheap, hearty meals and free live music nearly every night.

Wig & Pen
This little brewery and pub has its two-room interior packed out on Friday nights by thirsty office workers who also enjoy the hearty pub meals ($10 to $12). It produces several styles of beer, including real English ale.

C
Kingston Hotel
The Kingston is a blue-collar pub with very basic pub rooms (each with a double bunk and shared bathrooms). It's a noisy and lively venue where you can throw a steak on the grill in the bistro, wrestle a poker machine or join the crowd at the bar.

Phoenix
Regulars don't think twice about coming back to this pub after rising from the ashes of the night before, and we love it too. It's a staunch supporter of new local musos, and has a mellow atmosphere, rustic decorations and armchairs that incline you towards pondering life for the night.

ANU Union Bar
A mainstay of Canberra's music scene, the Uni Bar (on the ANU campus) has energetic live music bouncing off its walls and into the ears of sozzled students up to three times a week during the semester. Significant student discounts usually apply to gigs. It's also a good place for a game of pool and a drink.
