About Walt & Burley
Walt & Burley is a pub on Eastlake Parade at the Kingston Foreshore, looking straight across Lake Burley Griffin. Barton and the Parliamentary Triangle are close by, and there are several parking options around the precinct. The venue is split into distinct areas that can be booked on their own or joined together. The outdoor garden takes 100 standing or 50 seated, the dining area holds 120 for cocktails or 70 at tables, and the Canal Bar fits 50 standing or 40 seated. The Fireside Lounge is the smallest option, with lounge seating and high tables for about 20 guests around the fireplace. A lakeside patio can be added to the dining room or lounge, and the floor plan stretches to around 150 guests in total. Food runs from function breakfasts and morning or afternoon tea through to stand-up grazing with smalls and substantials served on towers and platters. Seated groups can choose a shared feast with mains, sides and an optional dessert course. Drinks can be handled with a bar tab on consumption, where you set the limit and the drinks list, or a timed package of wine, beer and non-alcoholic options. Welcome cocktails and champagne on arrival are available as extras. Bookings of 40 or more need a $500 deposit soon after confirmation. Menus, final numbers and dietary needs are locked in a week before the event, when final payment is also due.
