Smiths Alternative

Good coffee, array of snacks (which are frequently vegan!) and cozy. Versatile array of performances and musicians frequent the place. Not bad but not my cup of tea overall, some damn strange and slightly creepy people visit this place at times and it can get very crowded when a show is on. The owners are nice enough, although whilst not necessarily a negative I should note I can never figure out if Nigel is sincere or trolling us with his mannerisms.

An important alternative little location in Canberra. Always friendly.

Came in the the first time and watching and listening to a great jazz band named Key Grip. These guys are terrific.
I heard about this place recently.
The boss was on the door...Nigel.
The atmosphere is intimate, cozy and this old heart is finally glad I am among persons of my own ilk.
Am new to Canberra. Long may you reign.

Great place to see art shows. Performers. And get a but to eat and have a drink.

Very chilled space for a lazy Sunday afternoon of cool jazz and quiet drinks

My go to place in Canberra. Comfortable, friendly staff, coffee; bar food. Best atmosphere

Came to see the @brassknucklebrassband and they were amazing! The venue is cosy and inviting. Such an amazing night!
Loved their version if 'green light' and 'I used to love her but it's all over now'

A very comfortable chic place with delicious veggie options, free wifi and friendly staff - great place to relax during the day and get some work done.

Lovely people. Lovely place. So relaxing and fun!!! Will be back and will tell everyone.

One of my favourite live entertainment venues in the ACT. Check out the Facebook Page for information about upcoming gigs.

As well as often having fun and interesting gigs, this place has a gorgeous vibe even in the day with cozy nooks inside and a lovely little outside area to take in the sun in good weather while eating a delicious vegan lunch or snack - the pumpkin toastie and the peanut butter drizzle brownie are favorites with me.

Holy crap go grab a bit of the ANZAC slice. Do it now. It's amazing.
