Jeff Buckley once wandered into The Phoenix, having heard the music on the street outside, and when he tasted our Guinness he was heard to say, "Hallelujah! Finally a good pint in Australia!"
Jeff came for the music and stayed for the service. You should too.
You'll find no miniature stonehenges here. Just a stage, some amps and an audience ready to roar the band on. The Phoenix prides itself on booking some of the most exciting established and up-and-coming acts from Canberra and around the country.
