Rizla

Rizla sits on Lonsdale Street in Braddon, Canberra's busiest eating-and-drinking precinct in the inner north. A stylish, much-loved bar, it's earned a strong reputation — the kind of characterful, in-the-know spot that's become a genuine favourite for a well-made drink in a great atmosphere on a buzzing strip.

The appeal is that combination of quality drinks, a relaxed yet stylish setting and a prime Braddon location, ideal for a catch-up, a special drink or settling in for the evening. As Braddon continues to thrive as the capital's go-to precinct for going out, venues like this with genuine character and quality drinks have given it real appeal.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 350 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Drinks lists, any food offering, opening hours and any events vary, and a popular Braddon bar fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a relaxed, stylish drink in the heart of Braddon, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well rated.
