Nominated as one of Australia’s best cocktail bars, Knightsbridge Penthouse is simply cool, blending the best of modern and old-time Bohemian style. Seating is ample and cosy, mirroring the feeling of a stylish lounge room. Chandeliers, candles and fibre optics lighting is intimate and equally eclectic. Knightsbridge Penthouse also features a funky and intimate back courtyard. Spray painted by some of Canberra’s best graffiti artists, it is perfect for a sunny afternoon or a warm evening. Quality is the essential ingredient in all drinks, with top shelf or boutique spirits, and cocktails based on fresh ingredients. Australian wines also feature, including some of Canberra best drops. With tunes being spun from an upright piano converted into a DJ booth never too loud, funk and soul - from Nina Simone and James Brown to the latest tunes - are delivered with excellence by some of Canberra’s and Australia's best DJ's. Thursday night sees $10 cocktails, while Friday Happy Hour boasts a free barbecue from 5pm-8pm. Check out “Silver Sundays” for a chance to view locally produced films and discuss industry topics with film industry experts, free of charge. Starting at 5pm, here is a great way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon.
