Discover the best bars and restaurants in Canberra with magnificent views, from lakeside drinks with live music sessions to rooftop bars with unbeatable panoramic vistas.

The Howling Moon
Sit back and enjoy at The Howling Moon as you watch the sun slip down past Black Mountain during one of their relaxed sunset sessions. Adventure into the night with their mouth-watering cocktails and bar snacks that’ll make your palate howl with pleasure.

Leyla Bar
Be greeted by sweeping skyline views of the leafy city, Lake Burley Griffin, and beyond from one of the Inner South’s nicest rooftop bars, Leyla Bar. And with breezy, coastal vibes and a menu packed full of delicious Spanish tapas, it’s (literally) an elevated drinking experience.

The Inn 
Local favourite Edgar’s in the inner-city suburb of Ainslie has a beautiful secret upstairs that they’ve named The Inn. Stepping into the refined extension from Edgar’s laidback vibe offers a unique panoramic view of Telstra Tower and Mount Ainslie. Grab a drink and soak up the views before indulging in a selection of dishes from their seasonal bistro-themed menu.

Highball
With a private, lush, greenery-filled terrace overlooking London Circuit and City Hill, Highball isn’t just a bar – it’s a destination. With a fresh and fun vibe (and a very, very extensive rum menu), even with the reminder just out the window, you’ll forget you’re in the heart of Canberra’s city.

Walt & Burley
The Kingston Foreshore is a fantastic place to enjoy at any time of the year. One spot not to miss is Walt and Burley; the perfect spot to soak up the vibe of the foreshore as you enjoy a pub feed and a few drinks with your favourite people and take in the beautiful views of Lake Burley Griffin.

Snapper & Co.
With panoramic views of the lake and tasty food, Snapper & Co. is the perfect lakeside spot. Serving local beers from Capital Brewing Co. and local wines from the likes of Lake George Winery and Mount Majura Winery, alongside a delightful cocktail menu, you can sit back and watch the sailboats soar past, taking your worries with them.
