Dive into the bold allure of Bar Beirut, Canberra’s late-night hotspot. Named one of the nation's top cocktail bars by The Australian (2023), and Canberra's Best Cocktail Lounge and Small Bar (2022 & 23), and Favourite Middle Eastern Restaurant (2021, 22 & 23), indulge in daring dishes, top-self cocktails, eclectic beats, and captivating belly dance and burlesque performances.

Nine-to-fivers, local poppers-in, out-of-towners, clocked-off hospo workers, and anyone who knows a good cocktail and bite to eat is knocking on the door from 5pm ‘til late. The vibe is charged with electricity, laughter, and love; everyone is here for the fun.

Whether you’re bringing the whole family to feast, a group to celebrate, a partner to spoil on a date night, or you just want to nibble, drink and ponder the world as you bop your head by yourself into the early hours, the welcome at Bar Beirut is as warm after midnight as it is just before sunset.

Yalla habibi!

The food never disappoints. My other guests were first time diners and they were very complementary. I imagine they will be going again.

Went as party of 5 from interstate. Discovered Bar Beirut on line. What an absolute gem! We went on a Friday night and all tables were occupied but we didn't feel crowded. Each of us ordered something different and all agreed that the food, ambience and friendly staff made this the best dining experience we could remember. Oh, and the belly dancer provided great entertainment! A big thank you to owner, Soumi, who took the time to come and speak to us (and other patrons) and regale us with his interesting life story. Will definitely go back if in Canberra again.

Wow! What a place! The restaurant has an exciting, bustling vibe and is fitted out beautifully. If this place was in Melbourne, it’d be a hit! The food was came out fast and in abundance. The quality and flavours were outstanding and we left extremely full and incredibly happy after our $69 set menu Beirut feast. Highlight was the kingfish and it deserves a special shoutout. Absolutely delicious! The drink pairing was also awesome value. Thank you so much for such a fabulous night out!

food was nice, ambience needs work. Music blaring to the point I could not have a conversation with my dining partner without first asking them to turn it down (which they did obligingly) and a group of what appeared to be staff and their friends smokign directly outside the front entrance so that every time the door opened a big whiff of cigarette come in with the new customer. More than enough food to fill us both, overdid the bread with the dips and service was efficient and friendly.
