About Kingston Hotel
The Kingston Hotel, nicknamed the Kingo, is a pub on Canberra Avenue in Griffith in Canberra's inner south. Under one roof it runs a public bar, two dining rooms called The Grill and Maddies, a bottle shop and a takeaway counter. For group events the hotel has a semi-private function room that takes up to 100 people standing or 70 seated. It can be laid out for a sit-down meal or left open so guests can move around with a drink. The Garden Bar is the outdoor choice, a planted courtyard with umbrellas and its own servery that can be reserved for a gathering. It comes into its own in the warmer months, when groups would rather sit outside. Function food is served as platters for at least 20 people, ordered in steps of five. Canapé selections start at four items for $15 per person and go up to twelve items for $42 per person, with choices like spring rolls, beef skewers, arancini, salmon crostini and satay chicken. Cheese, fruit and antipasto plates can be added for light grazing, and house-made dessert pieces cost $4 each with at least 20 of each kind. Drinks come from the pub's own bar, wine list and cocktail list.

Dropped in for dinner on a work trip. It was busy for a Wednesday night so might be worth booking in advance. Great steak dinner and friendly staff. Guinness on tap would have made it a 5 star!
