Why it's worth checking out
Caribou sits on Jardine Street in Kingston, one of Canberra's most popular inner-south precincts. A relaxed pub and bar, it's earned a strong reputation for its good drinks, quality food and welcoming, characterful atmosphere — the kind of beloved local that's become a genuine fixture for a drink, a feed or a relaxed night out.
The appeal is that combination of a great bar-and-pub atmosphere, quality food and drinks and a convenient Kingston location, ideal for a relaxed meal, drinks with friends, a catch-up or settling in for the evening. In a popular dining-and-drinking precinct like Kingston, a venue with genuine character and a good offering really stands out, and Caribou has clearly won over a loyal crowd.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 900 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a relaxed drink, a meal or a casual night out in a characterful setting, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well loved in Kingston.
