The new Pol Roger Sculpture Bar launched last week and is now open every Friday and Saturday.

Canberra’s newest addition to the nightlife scene, the bar is a summer oasis, perfect for Friday after work champagne and Saturday afternoon socialising.

Make the most of warm summer nights and and enjoy some of Canberra’s best DJ’s spinning hot sounds and full bar service.
