Squeaky Clean

Squeaky Clean sits on Verity Lane in the heart of Canberra's Civic, tucked into one of the city's laneways. A much-loved bar, it's earned a near-flawless reputation — combining a great drinks offering with a fun, characterful laneway atmosphere, the kind of in-the-know spot that's become a genuine favourite for a quality drink and a sociable night out in the heart of the city.

The appeal is that combination of well-made drinks, a lively, characterful laneway setting and a central Civic location, ideal for a drink with friends, a date or a sociable evening. A laneway bar that's nailed both its drinks and its vibe really stands out, and the near-perfect feedback speaks to a spot that's genuinely delighting everyone who visits.

A 4.9 rating from more than 100 reviews is an excellent result and a strong sign of a well-loved, well-run bar. The drinks list, any food, opening hours and events vary, and a popular city bar gets busy on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a quality drink and a great laneway atmosphere, it's often just a matter of finding Squeaky Clean on Verity Lane in Civic.
