About Hunter & Barrel

Hunter & Barrel is a steakhouse at 20 Scotts Crossing, beside the Canberra Centre in Civic. Everything on the menu revolves around open-flame cooking, with steaks and skewers grilled over hot coals. The dining room is lined with red oak and finished with leather, stone and soft lighting, and a large panoramic artwork runs along one wall. The restaurant seats up to 151 guests across open dining areas and booths around the central grill. Two private dining rooms sit off the main floor. The Den has a fixed long table for 8 to 10 guests, and The Fire seats 12 to 14 at two joined tables, with a TV and HDMI connection. The two rooms open into an L-shaped space for up to 25 guests, which suits speeches and presentations. Larger groups can hire the entire restaurant for a function. Groups of 12 or more dine from set menus built around shared plates of grilled meats and sides. Beverage packages, house barrel-aged cocktails and a long wine list cover the drinks, and the team handles birthdays, engagement parties, Christmas functions and corporate events.
