Why it's worth checking out
Loquita sits on Garema Place in the heart of Canberra's Civic, the central city square that's long been one of the capital's social hubs. With a Spanish accent and a lively bar atmosphere, it's become a go-to for after-work drinks, a catch-up over share plates or the start of a night out in town.
The pull is the energy and the central location — a buzzy, social spot right where the city gathers, equally suited to a relaxed evening or a livelier one. In a precinct full of options, it's carved out a strong reputation as a dependable place to eat, drink and settle in.
With a 4.8 rating from more than 1,300 reviews, it's clearly resonating with Canberra's crowd. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular Civic venue fills up on weekends and around events, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're planning dinner or bringing a group.
