B-SIDE is a daytime eatery, café, and wine bar located on bustling Lonsdale Street, opened in May 2023. Focused on great food and wine, sharp service, and exceptional, consistent coffee, B-SIDE is a local favourite for good music and good times. Coffee is roasted by Canberra legends Intra Specialty Coffee, featuring a rotating list of singles and one of the best milk-based coffees in the city.

Evening service runs during summer through pop-up events in collaboration with local suppliers and venues—updates are shared via social media. The curated wine list is small but diverse, showcasing both local and international producers with a variety of styles and winemaking techniques. The seasonal food menu draws inspiration from European bistro dining.

Located at the top of Lonsdale Street, B-SIDE is a walk-in only venue—no reservations are required.
