Why it's worth checking out
The Jetty enjoys a lovely lakeside position on Queen Elizabeth Terrace at the Kingston Foreshore, by Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra. A 4.4 rating from 485 reviews shows it has built a loyal following as a relaxed spot for a drink with a view.
The appeal is the setting above all — a waterfront bar perfect for a drink, a meal or watching the sun go down over the lake. The Kingston Foreshore's buzzing dining-and-bar precinct, close to the city, makes it easy to fold a visit into a wider day or night out.
Menus, drinks, events and trading hours change over time, and it can get busy on weekends and in fine weather. To be sure of a spot and the latest details, it's worth checking directly with the venue before you go, and booking where possible.
