Beer, burgers, live music and trivia are the main attractions at this Belconnen spot. There's also an open-mic night for aspiring musos who want to let their talents rip.
Set in the suburban backwater of Belconnen, the Pot Belly is a laidback local instutution. This place serves up the kind of staples that down-to-earth barflies truly appreciate.
Sidle up to the bar and you'll find VB, Carlton, Guinness and Cascade Light all on tap and a kitchen menu that includes classic burgers, steaks and salads. Pleasures are simple here.
Aside from its booze and nosh, the Pot Belly's other main drawcard is its jam-packed events schedule. Come on Tuesdays if you want to put your brain power and general knowledge to the test. Small prizes are awarded during every round, and besides the sheer glory of victory, the night's overall winner can also expect to win a $50 bar tab which they can sozzle away with their mates.
Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays see live bands belt out cover hits and originals that cross all sorts of genre borders. Meanwhile, Thursdays offer open-mic opportunities for fledgling bands and soloists who want to cut their teeth on the live music circuit and strut their stuff in front of a crowd.
