About White Rabbit Cocktail Room
White Rabbit Cocktail Room is an Alice in Wonderland-themed bar at 65 Northbourne Avenue. VisitCanberra describes it as hidden beneath the city streets, with creative cocktails, share-style dining and a tea service.
Its website lists opening from 5pm on Wednesday and Thursday, 4pm on Friday and 11:30am on Saturday, all running till late, with a shorter Sunday session from 2pm to 5pm. Weekend sessions include Tipsy Tea, a high tea with cocktails or sparkling wine, and Shaken or Stirred cocktail-making classes on Friday and Saturday. Bookings are recommended for those. The venue takes group functions of up to 100 guests.
HerCanberra's March 2026 night-out guide mentions DJs on Saturdays and zero-proof drinks. The venue's own site does not mention DJs, so treat the Saturday DJ set as something to confirm before you go.
