What User doesn't like about Hippo:
We stopped at Hippo for drinks on a Saturday night with friends. Cocktails were $18 and not very good at all. Either poor quality spirits of inexperienced bartender. The place was absolutely packed, so not comfortable to sit and we were constantly jostled. A poor experience. View all feedback. What User likes about Hippo:
Probably my favorite little bar in Canberra. It's the perfect place to go if you're over the clubby/messy drinking scene and just want somewhere to sit and drink delicious cocktails and whiskeys. View all feedback.

Cool little whiskey bar upstairs with moody lighting and a huge range of whiskies. Also cocktails, beers and wines and also toasties if you’re snacky.
