Named affectionately from the lyrics of the AC/DC song ‘Let There Be Rock’, The Shaking Hand aka Shakes is Canberra’s newest dive bar showcasing local and international live music, DJs, late-night rock and roll, fast drinks and pizza.
Led by the team that runs Sydney’s iconic live music pub The Lansdowne Hotel, Shakes specialises in pizzas for just $5 a slice or $16 per pie, as well as batched cocktails, local craft beer, natural wines and delicious frozen margaritas.
“We know there’s some amazing young bands in Canberra, our goal is to get ‘em out of the garage and onto the stage. Serving frozen margaritas, cold beer and hot pizza until 2am every weekend. Come get a slice of somethin’ real… Let the beer and shots flow like a river of pure chaos,” says Group Venue Manager, Tim Keown.
Situated underground, the atmosphere is soaked in dim lighting, eclectic furniture and a whole lot of red, influenced by grungy 90s punk and rock n’ roll. Set to be a staple for local musicians and music lovers, The Shaking Hand will be the place to showcase talent as well as bond over a few beers and great pizza.
The Shaking Hand is now open Wednesday to Saturday from 5pm https://theshakinghand.com.au/
