Lighthouse Belconnen

Being born and raised in Canberra, you tend to hear the rumours about the places to avoid and the places that have caused the most trouble over the past couple of years. One such place used to be the Lighthouse in Belconnen which was appropriately nicknamed the "fighthouse"long ago. These days though, if you are looking for a nice, casual place to hang out with friends, I'd say go on a Tuesday night and join is with a steak for Tuesday night Trivia.
Because of its increasing popularity, especially among the UC students, you may need to book a table in advance, but if you're willing head down and take your chances with a usual seat by the windows. Most common meals of the night are steak with chips and your choice of gravy, mushroom, pepper or dianne sauce or schnitzel with the same options. Very much pub food but still very popular because I love to opportunity to get a very rare steak without it coming overcooked. Trivia begins at 8 and goes well into the night but with rounds from general knowledge to sports there will be something everyone can answer. (we do exceptionally well in the films, characters and TV section). Drinks aren't pricey - we get jugs and share it between whoever comes and prepare yourself for the eating competition after round 3 which will make many people very very sick. I remember one time I tried to eat 3 subway cookies faster than anyone else and I cant even smell them now without getting sick. I have also seen grown men shove hotdogs into their mouths without a slight hint of a gag reflex and last week...... a tin of sardines...
the mens were out of order for a while after that.
In all - lighthouse trivia is a fun way to spend the night, head down with some friends, see if you can win some bar vouchers, have a casual pub dinner and dont drink and drive.
If you see us, dont hesitate to come and say hi.
