About The Lighthouse Pub

The Lighthouse Pub sits on Emu Bank in Belconnen, right on the edge of Lake Ginninderra. It is a relaxed local with weekly trivia, live music on Friday nights and big screens for sport. Three areas are offered for functions. The beer garden has a covered pergola, high and low seating and lake views, with room for up to 150 guests. The Sports Bar is fully closed off from the rest of the pub and holds up to 70, with its own pool table and a pair of big screens. The main bar takes up to 80 among high tables, low tables and booths, opens onto the beer garden and stays open to the public during your event. Food comes as one of three share-style packages, Standard, Premium or Gold, each with a choice of three items. Options run from arancini, party pies and sausage rolls to calamari, wagyu sliders, dumplings and tempura prawns. The in-house sound system takes playlists, and bands or DJs are welcome as long as they finish by midnight. Screens in the main bar can show slideshows as well as sport. Menu and drink choices are confirmed a week ahead and food is paid in full beforehand, with the bar settled on the day. Confetti and party poppers are not allowed, and decorations need the functions manager's approval.
