Pub in Canberra

[MYOB]

Flying to Canberra on Friday.

So Canberians, where should we go for a drink both pre and post game.

Eastlake Hotel is close to the ground but is more of a club/RSL vibe with pokies and tab, etc. There's also the Kingston Hotel, slightly seedy but does the job. Another option would Public Bar in Manuka, which is more like a done up pub you'd see in Melbourne.

Bent Spoke Brewery in Civic would be good after the game, great range of different brewed beers plus close to the other bars in town, Manuka is pretty quiet and out of the way for after the game unless you are staying out that way.

The Durham! A block or two further away from the ground compared to Kingston Hotel and Public Bar suggested above, but I reckon we could claim it as Bulldog HQ for the night.

Yep, I'm staying in Manuka, 100m from the ground

The Caribou Bar in Kingston and the Dock on the Kingston Forshore are also good options and easy walking distance to Manuka Oval.

Looks like the Kingston is across the road from where I'm staying.
With it being a freezing night, I may settle for that after the game.

Best pub in Canberra is actually The Old Canberra Inn. It's nowhere near Manuka Oval though, but worth a visit if you like pubs haha.

I quite like going to Walt and Burley on the Kingston Foreshore. Kingston Hotel is close but a bit of a s-hole. Believe it or not I haven’t gotten to any of the dogs games yet since I moved to Canberra in 2016. Think I’ve got a baby leave pass for this Friday!

I'm heading up. Keen for pregame drinks if folks agree on a pub.

With the description above of The Kingston Hotel as "slightly seedy but does the job" sounds like the perfect pub for Footscray supporters.

It is also very close to the ground.

Also going. Maybe see you in Public Bar in Manuka. It is close to the ground.

Righto. Dogs fans, hit up Public Bar in Manuka. BigFooty hangs before playing the GWS, shades of 2016 prelim weekend..

Public is very much a GWS pub.
I'm staying near it and when i went to the Dees game the other week, it seemed to be the GWS hub.

Should we bring 2016 premiership memorabilia and do a "show and tell"?

I thought that as well

it all just depends on how tense you want the pregame warm up to be.
but it was balloons of orange and charcoal as far as the eye could see the other week.

The tenser the better as far as I am concerned. I want as much needle as possible against that focus group created entity they mistakenly call a football club.

see me being the pessimist i am, i reckon this game is ripe for the losing.
First dogs game i've seen live since the 2016 GF.
it has disappointment written in the stars.

Therefore guaranteed to run out of beer

I'll be driving 6 hours from the Western Suburbs of Melbourne on Friday morning to go watch this game and then 6 hours home the following morning.

I'm bloody excited.

Moved up to Canberra this year from Melbourne and stoked that we're playing GWS here, can't wait for it!!!

I'm doing an up and back from SW Victoria. 9hrs each way. Hope many others are making the trip up.
