About The Embassy CBR
The Embassy CBR is a two-part venue in Civic's Sydney Building: a cocktail bar and a nightclub. HerCanberra gives the address as 38 Northbourne Avenue and calls it a late-night bar with nightclub energy and DJs.
The venue's website says it runs from dusk till dawn, with globally inspired cocktails in the bar and music events in the club. It mentions R&B nights, drink specials and reserved areas for small and large groups, including drink and platter packages. HerCanberra's February 2026 guide lists themed nights, live performers and DJs, with early-morning trading on event nights.
The website did not show a night-by-night timetable when checked, so use its Events page or social channels for the line-up and any cover charge. It is next to ChiChiz on Northbourne Avenue, which makes the two easy to combine.
