About The District
The District is a relaxed bar and restaurant on Abena Avenue in Crace, part of Canberra's Gungahlin district. It is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with cocktails poured all day. Inside, long timber tables run down a dining room lined with banquette seating, next to a bar stacked with spirits and wine. Live music plays on most Friday nights, and there is a set-aside area outdoors for dogs. Functions start at around 20 guests. Groups of 30 or more who take over a whole area agree a minimum bar tab, or pay a small hire fee where no minimum spend is set. Four food packages cover most celebrations. Family-style sit-down feasts bring entrées, pizzas, pastas, salads, skewers, calamari and schnitzels, while the standing tapas package keeps wings, skewers, bruschetta, pizzas and spring rolls moving. There is a dedicated 18th birthday package, and the venue places no restrictions on 18ths or 21sts. Guests under 18 need to be with an adult throughout. The team will decorate the space if you drop your decorations off beforehand. Large groups who would rather skip a package can order from the main menu and pay as they go.

Really solid feed here. The pork belly was the standout – crispy on top and super tender underneath. The schnitzel was huge and hit the spot, a classic pub-style dish done well. The surprise, my favourite though, was the…
