"Licensed Clubs" Top 5 Page for this destination Pubs/Clubs/Bars Tip by tiabunna

Many visitors to Canberra wonder where people go for nightlife, because there are so few licensed hotels and relatively few other nightspots. For many locals, the answer is in the licensed clubs. These are to be found throughout the city and welcome visitors – you don’t need to be a member, but you will need to register on entry to comply with the local licensing laws. Many clubs feature entertainers or dance halls, though the entertainment often requires pre-booking. Typically the restaurants offer quite reasonable food providing some of the best value meals you will find.

We recently visited the Southern Cross Club in Tuggeranong for a friend’s wedding reception: overall this is a fairly typical club. Once you check in at the entry foyer, you have a choice of gaming rooms (endless poker machines), restaurants or function rooms.

The following address and phone details are for the Southern Cross Club, but I have listed below the websites for several of Canberra’s main licensed clubs (NB – most of these clubs operate at several venues):
Southern Cross Club
Vikings Club
Canberra Labor Club
Hellenic Club of Canberra
Canberrra Club
Canberra Tradesmen’s Union Club
