Description:

The unique character of the ANU Bar makes it a very popular setting for students and those from outside the university. Located in the heart of the Australian National University campus, come kick back and relax with us, catch up with friends after class over a game of pool, enjoy a break in the afternoon sun in our vibrant beer garden or make a night of it and head to one of the many gigs. The ANU Bar is renowned for its rich live music history, having hosted some of the biggest names in music for over 30 years including Cypress Hill, Black Eyed Peas, Public Enemy, Bliss n Eso, Hilltop Hoods, Bertie Blackman, Lisa Mitchell, Little Red, Jebediah, The Living End, The Panics, Boy and Bear, The Jezabels, and grunge legends Nirvana, just to name a few. The huge concert space can certainly support a crowd.
