Walt & Burley

Walt & Burley is a lakeside pub on the Kingston Foreshore, with views across Lake Burley Griffin and Canberra’s centrepiece. Its setting makes it a natural choice for a relaxed meal, a few drinks or an easy catch-up by the water, with the activity of the foreshore close by.

The venue has several spaces to choose from, including the casual Canal Bar and a more intimate dining room. You can book a table or walk in, while private functions can be arranged with the lake as a backdrop. The atmosphere and flexible spaces suit everything from a low-key solo visit to a meal with friends, a family outing or a more intimate occasion. A kids menu is also available.

The food offering covers smaller plates for sharing through to dinner, with seasonal flavours guiding the menus. Feasting menus are available for bigger appetites, and the food can also be ordered for takeaway and delivery. On weekdays, an express lunch is available without bookings, designed for a quick lakeside break. The venue also promotes regular activities including live music, weekly trivia and hosted events, with Tuesday trivia listed among its ongoing offerings.

Walt & Burley trades from 11am until late on weekdays and weekends, while Marion’s takeaway service starts from midday daily. It is located at 70/17 Eastlake Parade, Kingston, making it an accessible option for locals and visitors looking to eat, drink or gather beside the lake.
