Yep, went to the oldest pub in Canberra...loved he craft beers, the food was excellent, will be back

The Old Canberra Inn offers a unique dining experience in an authentic, historic setting. The old building adds to the overall ambiance, making it a delightful place to visit, especially in the winter months. However, some customers have expressed disappointment with the food quality, with issues such as inedible burgers and tasteless dishes. Despite mixed reviews on the food, the atmosphere at the Old Canberra Inn receives high praise. Customers appreciate the live music, craft beers, and friendly staff. The venue is also recognized as a great spot for functions and reunions, offering a warm and cozy setting for all guests. Overall, the Old Canberra Inn is a must-visit establishment for those looking to experience a piece of traditional Australian heritage and enjoy a unique dining and entertainment experience.
