Seven Canberra bars slinging cocktails for takeaway + delivery
Posted on
Hands up if you’re missing Canberra’s nightlife?
The pulse of Kingston Foreshore on a Friday after work, the crowds and chatter of Lonsdale Street on a Saturday night, live jazz at Molly, the cosy crackle of Bar Rochford’s fireplace…sigh.
Until we can revel in Canberra’s nightlife once more, it’s up to us to make sure our beloved venues make it through these tough times. And really, buying takeaway or delivery drinks is surely not too much of an ask…

With an Insta-worthy line up of sleek single-serve cocktails and boutique wines and spirits, it’s simple to get fine times happening at your place.
Our pick: Obviously the four-pack of signature cocktails. Almost too pretty to open…almost.

It’s never been easier to get that 1920s, speakeasy vibe at your place because Molly is serving up not just bottled batch cocktails via Amici’s online deli, but also online whisky masterclasses, with the tastings shipped to your door!
Our Pick: A Manhattan. Classic and potent.

Rizla

Okay, so you can’t technically order cocktails from Rizla at the moment. But because we’re pining for the day we can slide into a seat at this sleek, intimate wine bar and order a cheeky crisp Rizla (that’s hospo for Riesling), we couldn’t resist including them.
Until then, hit up Andy and the team for a glass of something good via Canberra Eats.
Our pick: Make a night of it and order their Deluxe Night In package—Dinner for two plus tuna tartare to start and cheese plate to finish for $125.

Zaab Street Food

One of the first bars to pivot to a (very cool, might we add) takeaway menu of cocktails, Zaab is offering bags (yes, really) of excellent booze—perfect for pairing with their fiery Thai-Lao menu.
For lovers of all things local—Zaab just dropped a cocktail collab with neighbours Lonsdale Street Roasters—an Espresso Martini to go.
Our pick: Definitely the Watermelon Massacre—with house-made citron vodka, watermelon, vanilla, apple and lemonade.
