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!

We had an amazing experience here on a busy Friday night. The wait staff were incredibly friendly and hospitable, delivering excellent service. The manager or owner (we assume) was also very friendly and made sure everything was going well for us. We were there for the belly dancing entertainment which was a nice touch. Every plate of food we ordered was delicious and we left very full and satisfied. Would definitely recommend and will return!

Great night out at Bar Beirut. What’s not to love? We selected a number of dishes, which were all very tasty. The cocktails were also delicious, but it was the burlesque performance which made our night. BB has great atmosphere and exceptional staff, who were welcoming and attentive. We will definitely be back and next time, we look forward to seeing the belly dancer.

Food was great as usual. There is room for improvement with service. Due to delay in clearing our table after the mains, we were asked to rush our dessert, so we did a take away of the dessert to enjoy it better.

I planned a date night for my husband and I wanted to try something new. I chose bar beruit and I was so amazed by the exceptionally good food/drinks and amazing atmosphere of the restaurant. The food was out promptly as were our drinks. The attention to describing every part of the meal and drink were going above and beyond. My favourite meal I had would have to be the kingfish. Delicious. I would high recommend this restaurant to everyone. We will be back again.

Delicious lamb shank and grilled chicken on top of the amazing ambiance. Service was 10/10 and the owner taking time to chat with all the customers was a great touch.
