Canberra / Kingston & Griffith
Canberra
Kingston & Griffith
South of the lake, the Kingston Foreshore and the old Kingston shops trade more in pubs, live acoustic sets and long nights at the bar than big clubs.
Getting there
No light rail. Buses run from City Interchange (check Transport Canberra for the route and the last service), and after about 11pm most people use a taxi or rideshare. It is not a walk from Civic.
