Hidden in the basement of a building in Hobart Place, 88mph is Canberra's favourite nostalgic bar.

True to the 80s, 88mph has karaoke on Wednesday night, arcade games, a light-up dance floor, nostalgic tunes, themed food, and plenty of neon lights.

ABOUT CITY RENEWAL AUTHORITY

As an agency of the ACT Government, the City Renewal Authority is charged with shaping the growth of the central parts of Canberra to make it a great place to live, explore and enjoy.

City Renewal works within a designated Precinct, which spans Dickson, Braddon, Civic, Northbourne Avenue, Haig Park and Acton Waterfront.
