Dissent Cafe and Bar

Lovers of live music have a new go-to in the heart of Canberra at Dissent Café and Bar on City Walk. Small enough to be intimate, but large enough to drum up a lively atmosphere, Dissent oozes a chilled-out vibe ideal for hanging out with mates over a cheeky cocktail or two, while an equally laid-back menu promises mini pizzas, snacks and toasties. Perhaps pair an Espresso Martini with a Reuben sandwich with pastrami, Swiss cheese, pickled cabbage and red pepper sauce; or wrap your hands around a pad Thai toastie with sticky tamarind, chicken, mozzarella, peanuts, carrot and cabbage. Vegetarian options include soy mince Bolognese, Parmesan, rocket and balsamic on garlic-buttered bread, or spicy cabbage kimchi, cheddar, mozzarella, shallots and sesame, washed down with a classic Margarita.
