Hunter & Barrel Canberra CBD Function Spaces
Hunter & Barrel Canberra offers a refined environment for venue hire, perfect for corporate functions and milestone celebrations alike. Set in a central location, it’s a short stroll from a range of key landmarks and nightlife hotspots, making it a great party venue in Canberra. Together with a superb range of menu items, a stunning wine list, and a space designed to soothe the soul, it’s the perfect place to hold an event.
Our fire-grilled cooking not only adds to the atmosphere but also acts as the foundation for our menu. With an array of premium cuts of beef, skewered meats, and plenty of other indulgences, we aim to display just how incredible flame-cooked food can be. It’s the kind of food that goes hand in hand with sharing, passing around plates, connecting with those around you, and letting the night be carried away by the magic of the feast.
Venue Info
Located at 20 Scotts Crossing in Canberra Centre, the venue is within reach of the city’s key retail, dining, and entertainment areas such as Bunda Street, Garema Place, and the Canberra Theatre Centre. With nearby parking and public transport options, it’s a prime location for hosting events. With an indoor seating capacity of 121, including two private dining rooms, it is one of the prime locations for function room hire in Canberra. The interior aims to reflect that of the hunter-gatherer. Primal, rustic, yet refined. Red oak finishes line the walls, with textured leather and large-scale artwork giving the dining area a grandiose feel, while the open grill acts as the heart of the restaurant, perfuming the air with subtle smoke.
Celebrate with Delicious Food from the Hunter & Barrel Menu
Food is crucial for any event. Our menu is founded on share-style dining, making it perfect for groups. With thick-cut steaks, a range of skewered meats, and plenty of sides to complement, it allows guests to pick and choose what they want to eat, without relying on a strict course-by-course structure.
There’s also a wide range of beverage offerings to match, from local and international wines, craft beers, to our in-house barrel-aged spirits and cocktails; there’s something for everybody.
