Live large at Louis with teensy cocktails for teensy prices. Meet Louis Social Club.

From 5 pm until 7 pm every Friday night on the heated Louis terrace (trust us, you’ll feel like you’re in Paris), enjoy Teeny Martinis, pocket-sized Negronis and other small cocktails for just $12 alongside cheeky 100ml wine pours from Louis curated wine selection for a mere $10.

Naturally, these will be paired with bar snacks and decadent bites from the Ben Willis-helmed menu – all at petit prices.

Fridays from 5 -7 pm | Louis, 18 National Circuit, Barton | louisdining.com.au

Head to NewActon for the happiest of hours each Friday from 4-6 pm at Parlour. Our recommendation? Nab (or book!) a table or lounge on their terrace and get cosy with a glass of vino from their extensive menu.

Naturally, there are plenty of snacky bites to be ordered from their food menu and hey, why not just kick on into the evening with dinner and more drinks and hey, dessert, anyone?

If you like your Fridays fiery, Garema Place Mexican joint Loquita is your destination.

With Happy Hour from 5-7 pm, grab some $15 frozen margs, $6 house spirits and three tacos for $15. That’s what I’m taco bout.

Fridays feel better at Barton’s Leyla Bar, where you can pair stunning sunset views with their Sunset Hour specials. Think: martini and a bowl of fries.

With plenty of seating and some of the best views in Canberra, start your night right with cocktail specials from 4.30 – 6.30 pm every Tuesday to Friday.
