About The Peacemaker Saloon

The Peacemaker Saloon is at 26 Mort Street, Braddon. HerCanberra reported in 2024 that it comes from the team behind the Volstead Repeal speakeasy, with old-fashioned American Southwestern drinks.

VisitCanberra describes a modern take on a Wild West saloon, with hearty American Southwest food, more than 100 American whiskeys and a seating capacity of 150. Walk-ins are welcome and there is a hidden VIP room that can be booked. The listing gives late night as a meal type but does not give opening hours.

HerCanberra's February 2026 guide lists free line dancing on Thursdays from 8pm, and a June 2025 HerCanberra round-up also noted free Thursday line-dancing lessons with no experience needed. Because opening times are not published in the sources, check the venue before you head over on other nights.
