A much-loved pub, it's a genuine local fixture — combining a relaxed, characterful pub atmosphere with quality food, good drinks and a lively, welcoming feel, the kind of crowd-pleasing local that's right at home on one of the capital's best strips.
The appeal is that combination of a great pub atmosphere, quality food and drinks and a prime Braddon location, ideal for a relaxed meal, a drink, a catch-up or a night out. Braddon's vibrant mood pairs perfectly with a characterful pub that does its food and drinks well, and the Civic Pub has clearly won over a big, loyal following.
With a 4.3 rating from more than 2,000 reviews, it's clearly a popular, well-loved spot. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a meal, a drink or a relaxed night out in a characterful pub, it's often just a matter of dropping in at the Civic Pub in Braddon.
