Assembly The People's Pub - Braddon, Australian Capital Territory

Louise

Phenomenal local pub/restaurant that fits loads of people and has a welcoming loud buzzing vibe.
FOOD: 10/10 Fresh, high quality ingredients. Dishes are plated up well and there's a variety of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free dishes to choose from, with several really healthy options. The salmon was to die for, as were the steamed vegetables it came with.
Very reasonably priced dishes between $12-28 on average.
SERVICE: Super friendly, accommodating staff who are efficient. They made some dietary accommodations and our meals came super quicky.
ACCESSIBILITY: Plenty of on street parking available and the place is wheelchair, pram and walker friendly.
OVERALL: Would definitely come back, when I'm the area. It's ideal for friends gatherings, Birthdays, events and even business meets with some dedicated quieter areas available.

This was by far one of our best experiences in canbera. We visited this place early in the morning for breakfast. The staff are super friendly and very welcoming. They have a lot of options on food items at a reasonable price and great quality. The coffee absolutely tastes amazing and they can even make it extra hot which is a good option in a cold morning in the city. They have a wide range of cocktails in the morning as well. The atmosphere is great and we really enjoyed our time. I highly recommend it to everyone visiting Canberra.

Over from Adelaide for ANZAC day, quick google search to see what's open and happened across this place. Looked alright so group of 7 came in for breakfast.
Greeted by staff and grabbed a seat, already better than my last dining experience on this trip.
Hostess kindly explained that we could order at the table or the bar, and I was surprised the ease of ordering and the speed at which the orders started coming out.
This is what hospitality is all about! Efficient, friendly, well priced, and the food... the food was amazing.
Bacon and egg roll seems like a simple dish, yet so many places get it wrong; not here though 10/10
Roti stack is as good as the picture, pesto had a great flavour, eggs and mushrooms all cooked perfectly. After the first bite my mate said "yep, the chef knows what he is doing"
Breakfast burrito went down well, again comments that the flavours were great and the dishes here are worth what you pay for them.
Highly recommend you call in try for yourself.

My colleague chose the place for a late afternoon client catch up. The name had a vibe and the place didn’t disappoint either. Nicely laid out zones for quick catch ups, round table chats and cozy looking backyard for longer chats and parties. Didn’t get time to order food, but sure it will be ok. The bar looked well stocked, and service was prompt. Surely a good place for more catch ups.

Assembly The People's Pub is a fantastic venue in the heart of Canberra, offering a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere for both locals and visitors. Whether you're looking for a casual drink after work or a lively weekend gathering, this pub has plenty to offer.

One of its standout features is the ample seating inside, ensuring there's usually space to sit and enjoy a great selection of beers on tap. If you prefer to drink outdoors, the large outdoor seating area at the front provides a great spot to soak up the atmosphere. However, be aware that on weekends, both indoor and outdoor seating fills up quickly, so it’s best to arrive early if you want a prime spot.

For those looking for a more relaxed setting, Assembly also boasts a spacious beer garden out the back, perfect for enjoying a drink with friends away from the hustle and bustle of the main area. The pub’s central location makes it an ideal choice for a night out, with plenty of other pubs, restaurants, and a variety of street food options nearby.

Whether you're after a laid-back afternoon session or a buzzing evening vibe, Assembly delivers on all fronts. With its friendly service, great drinks selection, and prime location, it’s a must-visit when in Canberra. Highly recommended!

Nice pub with a lovely atmosphere and good for groups of around 6 people if wanting to sit inside. Food was good - the nachos and garlic bread are a must on the menu. However, their pasta is super watery and a let down. Other than that, great place for catching up with friends.
