Artsy cafe and venue
Why locals love it
As far as I can tell there are no longer any books at Smith's, but probably more things than ever are going on there. It's open a lot of the time, cafe by day, bar by night.. and eclectic entertainment venue in between
Why you should visit it
One of the most interesting and quirky places in canberra. Recently I saw a one man show about a pennyfarthing crime hunt, old string jamming, and a night of physics talks - to demonstrate how varied it is! They also host art, cinema, comedy, etc events - look at website for latest
Special tip
Best place to jig on a Tuesday night
