What Akeem Nitzsche likes about Kingston Hotel:
A cosy place to meet friends with kids and watch the rugby. The Steakhouse is a grill-your-own bistro where you purchase your rump, t-bone etc from the counter and cook yourself on a fiery hot grill. Meat was delicious. However if you don't fancy cooking your own you can have burgers, pasta or pizza. I had the Lime Pork Belly burger on the specials board which was very tasty. Salad bar (Greek, potato, pasta, green) i... View all feedback. What Benedict Lynch doesn't like about Kingston Hotel:
OK. That is all that it was. OK. Heavily overrated chunks of meat. You can cook yourself around a neanderthal-like fire grill talking with the bros about bro things. Or something like that. You can also get the chef to cook it for you. The menu was limited to either big meats or big carbs. With a token salad mixed in the menu. Oh yes, and there was a salad bar... There was a bunch of us there, and everyone had a plat... View all feedback.

On a recent trip to Canberra we stayed within 300 meters of the Kingston Hotel. I had received advice that it was a good, reliable place for pub fare. This was...

The Kingo restaurant in Canberra offers a variable experience, with a pleasant outdoor dining option for beers and burgers, but a dreary interior inside. The menu focuses on big meats and big carbs, with friendly staff and a convenient adjoining bottle shop. The food is decent but lacks memorability, with some patrons enjoying the steak and salmon dishes. The restaurant is known for its generous portion sizes and traditional Australian pub charm. Overall, The Kingo is a reliable choice for pub fare with friendly staff and a low-stress environment.
