Whether you’ve had an all-day event that continues through to the night, or your evening is about the end but hunger strikes, ditch the kebab shop and hit up one of these restaurants and bars that serve up delicious food later than the average venue.
MOLLY
Late-night jazz, whiskey and conversation is a given on a night out at Molly. Now pairing your favourite tipple with an unbelievable snack menu, cure your late-night cravings in style with their classic American bar menu. Think a Reuben sandwich, burrata and charcuterie platters to match their prohibition-era speakeasy vibes.
Kodiak Bar
A laid-back cocktail bar that makes sure the food is up to scratch, pop into Kodiak Bar for late-night drinks and snacks. If you’ve been out so long that you’re ready for a little snack, eat your way through their delicious share plates such as duck wings and lobster rolls. Or if you’re not up for sharing, their cheeseburger is really as good as they say.
QUEENIES
Take a seat at the cosy Queenies in Kingston, where the glow of the vibrant bar fills the room. Open late, enjoy a glass from their large selection of Australian and Canberra Region wines, spirits, and craft beers, alongside the perfect snack for when you get a little peckish throughout the night. On the menu you’ll find tasty dishes with a native twist (including cocktails) such as crispy fish tacos, a fried chicken burger, crispy eggplant and a decadent cheese board.
HIGH JINKS
Perfectly cosy, dark and intimate, High Jinks has the perfect late-night vibes with a small but delicious food and drink menu. While cocktails are a must, boasting an impressive curated list, the underrated food menu is great for a little late-night snacking. From small tapas style plates, to meat and cheese boards and pizza, they have the perfect sharing plates.
Luna
Combining cocktails with elevated street food, late nights just got a whole lot better at Luna. Next time you’re in if you’re feeling peckish, add goodies like prawn and crab rolls or duck tacos to your order with a signature Luna cocktail.
AMICI BAR
Who says you can’t enjoy an Italian dining experience late at night? Amici Bar offers a ‘Prixe Fix’ set dining menu until late that boasts the best of their menu. Dig into charcuterie and cheese on arrival, pizza and salad to share, with rotating desserts to match! Shaking cocktails all night and pouring an excellent selection of wines, relish the late-night big city vibes in the capital.
B ONE
When the late-night hunger strikes, hit up B One for the ultimate Asian fusion feast. All your favourite dumplings, spring rolls, stir-fry’s, hotpot’s, noodles and fried chicken are available to order from their extensive menu, even in the latest hours of the night. If liquor is still a good idea by then, find an extensive range of highballs, Japanese sake, spirits and wine, plus epic beer towers.
THE DUXTON
Keeping our belly’s full until late, The Duxton is one of the few Canberra venues who offer their full menu all day until close. From must-try steaks, burgers, pizzas and of course epic schnitty’s, get pub food at its finest whenever you feel like it.
