So, now that we have all been converted to Canberra-ism, where's the best place to go out? I missed out on most of the o-week festivities since I was 17, now that I'm finally 18 I want to go out and celebrate. I keep hearing about Moose (in both good and bad ways).

 

[loquasagacious]

Mooseheads = johns jocks = bad

 

[gemita]

So I'd heard...but then isn't that Ursie's sponsor club?

 

[rumour]

The club just round the corner from moose......past shooters.....I don't remember the name, but they have good music!!!

 

[gemita]

What's your idea of good music? It's backstreet boy-free?

 

[MissSavage29]

lol ok mooseheads is really really good ignore anything that Ziff says about it. If u get urself a moosecard you get $2 drinks which is good.

Um shooters is okay - apparently its a bit sleezy but it depends how many people u have there with you.
Echo bar not far from that - its pretty crap music wise
In Blue - it was really good actually - nice dance floor good music
Holy Grail - hum i wasn't to impressed with it but apparently its okay

i think that is all we did on our pub crawl

gemita: A belated happy bday then. A while longer to go for me, fortunately or unfortunately...

Mostly, ppl here at Fenner seem to head for ICBM (I believe they sponsor us or something), or Academy. No idea where they are or what they're like.

Meh...if anyone finds a place which does jazz, let me know. I'm not holding my breath, though, and I'm not even bothering to ask about anywhere that does classical music...

Ballroom dancing hall?

 

[alphatango]

Not a bad idea, not a bad idea at all...

 

[Ziff]

Southpac!!!

$3.50 for two beers. Yay! $5 for two basic spirits! Yay!

Cheaper than ICBM (who sponsor B&G).

 

[withoutaface]

ICBM, what an awesome acronym.

Ahh so we have another man who likes the pac eh? They're under new ownership... so they don't even put metho in their drinks anymore!

Though to be honest, it IS a bit of a dive.

 

[alphatango]

So what are they calling the metho instead now?

from memory Hippo bar has live jazz every wednesday night, be warned though it is pretty pricey and just a tad more classier than moose (i freaking hate that place- sleazy ADFA and Johns boys grabbing me- actually who am i kidding i love that place when i am in the mood ) but my fav place to club in canberra is Academy. It is the only club that even closely comes to hinting at a Syd feel, oh how i miss the big city

 

[mcdickpants 2.5]

hippo does have regular jazz.
king o malleys had jazz every monday as well.

as for classical music, the school of music is always holding concerts that are free for ANU students. not in clubs though.

 

[alphatango]

Mmm, I know, but it would be nice to have a bar with decent classical.

< begin shameless off-topic plug > Canberra Youth Orchestra will be doing a couple of concerts towards May/June, probably at Wesley Uniting Church in Forrest and a couple of other venues...I'll post info closer to the concert for anyone interested. < end shameless off-topic plug >

Thanks for the pointers though...appreciated. I'll remember when I'm dragged out into Civic in a month or so.
