Hidden inside the Tradies complex (enter via the Quality Hotel reception) you'll find this small, sleek wine bar that feels more Brooklyn than Dickson. All the wines on offer are from the Canberra region, with a rotating selection available by the glass, as well as various tasting flights. Small nibbles – cheese boards, dips and the like – are also available.

For added quirk factor, sup your drink inside the restored tramcar that sits in the bar's indoor courtyard.
