Wow the worst breakfast ever. Bacon was leftover and was reheated in the microwave which turned it to cardboard which wouldn’t even cut it had to be torn apart. Chorizo was cold and smelled sour unfortunately I did bite it before I smelled it and it tasted off so had to spit it out. Hash brown was a little bigger than a 50c coin and my sunny side up eggs weren’t runny. Spinach seemed fresh it was the warmest and nicest thing on my plate. My partner ordered poached eggs on smashed avo and one of the eggs came fully cooked so we took it back to get remade and they were acting like nothing was wrong. Offered me a free beer at 10am for my rotten chorizo, unfortunately I’m not a morning drinker so I turned it down. Coffee was ok and my partners hot chocolate was the best part of her meal she tells me. Do better guys maybe have a chef do the cooking with fresh ingredients, not the wait staff reheating food in the microwave.

When we lived in Gungahlin Siren was our bar of choice for wine degustation dinners and ANZAC Day. It’s a great venue with friendly staff and a wonderful hard working manager. Now we go back to visit our son, we enjoy breakfast at Siren. They are so delicious and filling that they will last you until dinner. Siren is a local bar and restaurant for locals who like great food and service to support.

What a lovely pub!
We visited twice during our last trip to Canberra and will be back.
Super friendly and helpful staff, great food and atmosphere and dog friendly to boot!
Highly recommend 😎

We’ve eaten here for dinner a handful of times and have taken out twice. The food is always delicious and hot and portion size is just right, we’ve never left hungry. Siren has a great vibe with both an indoor and outdoor seating area. The bartender was very friendly and welcoming. Table wait staff was adequate; delivered the food.

Went for breakfast. Food was great, and served fairly quickly. Pretty wide range of options, brekky bruschetta was heccin tasty.
Coffee was maybe a tad mediocre, but they serve it with a chocolate, so I can't complain too much.

Very standard pub meal for a terrible price.
Bar and serving staff were great.
Started with my snitty paid $30 .
Snitty was just above a microwave pub snitty. Not worth the price.
Diane sauce. It was a diane nothing more.
Tasted the gravy from another plate. It was junk.
Beers were overpriced however the choices on tap encourage that.
Veggies on another plate were raw.if ya like that.
Salad was just lettuce and rocket with a bit of onion.
Door from bar to beer garden with tv swings in. Which is a prick when you are carrying drinks.
Overall there are far better feeds in walking distance.
There is a reason the place was empty at dinner time.
Dog friendly

Terrible experience table had been booked 2 weeks ago and confirmation received only to be told that the booking had not been confirmed despite being showed email confirmation. The white wine that we ordered was not available, cocktails were short poured and the meal was overcooked and dry. The staff were very unprofessional and rude. Would not recomend.

Still a fun place to unwind with friends. Beers are getting expensive, but really that's everywhere. The staff were friendly and welcoming. My party enjoyed the time at Siren Bar, we'll be back

Since moving to Gungahlin in April 2023, Siren Bar and Restaurant has become a favourite place for a lovely meal out, or a quiet catch up with friends for a drink. Have also enjoyed some lovely breakfasts there when we have had family visiting.
I did want to send a HUGE thankyou to all the team for being so accommodating and looking after us for my Grandmother's 100th birthday drinks. Her big night was an early dinner at a restaurant close to her home in Emu Bank, so that she and some of her elderly friends could go home early. We organised for all our family and friends visiting to stay in Gungahlin and suggested drinks after dinner at Siren Bar. I phoned Siren and asked if about 20 of us could come back there at 9pm, following the dinner and they said it was no problem.
Well there was no way in the world that my Grandmother was going to go home early and miss all the fun. She suffers FOMO - in fact it runs in the whole family.
We brought with us to Sirens a Bluetooth speaker and microphone to sing some of the good old Irish and English songs, and everything else that took our fancy. The team had set up a private little space out on the side veranda and we drank our fill, sang, and had a fantastic time. The staff were incredible. We could not imagine a better night for her special occasion, and everyone there is still talking about it three months on. Thank you so much Siren Bar for always being so fantastic with your customer service, food quality, great atmosphere. You made my 100yr old Grandmother very happy, although she was a bit sad when we had to drag her away at 1am.........lol

Overpriced and underwhelming food with poor service as the cherry on top. Had to wait for 45 minutes for the drinks despite everyone else walking away with their drinks from the bar as they ordered. My partner and I had to ask twice for our drinks. When the drinks finally came it was again one of the worst margaritas I have ever had. I guess never coming back to this one and will advise friends and family to do the same.

Ordered take away last night for three people. They were the smallest portions I have ever come across. The plastic container was around 20% filled. The butter chicken was average. On a good note the Naan bread was very good for a gluten free bread. $91 for very small portions is only good for the waist line.

Nice food and pleasant seating. Unfortunately the day I was there I could not go out to the back area as they had a function and when they gave me my table they moved me straight away. The waitress was surprised I ordered a pizza or that's the impression I got. All in all it would be a nice place to take a date and reasonably priced. $29 for a reasonable sized chicken pizza and a schooner of coke. I will be back again.

My partner and I live in Gungahlin and we are new to the area.
We always kept driving past this place on the way to the shops and we kept saying we need to go there and dine in to check it out.
Today we did after our couples massage. I said to my partner for our anniversary we are going there to have late lunch and an alcoholic drink.
It was the best decision I made today. My partner and I absolutely loved the food, atmosphere with the upbeat music and being able to sit outside on the lounge was relaxing.
My favourite alcoholic drink is cosmopolitan and the bar staff made the two beautifully delicious.
The service was amazing and friendly. It was like talking to your friends.
We will definitely being coming back within the fortnight for our regular date if we aren't too broke. 😂😂
Thank you for creating and continuing this wonderful services and experiences.

Me and my Fiance went to Siren for breakfast and dinner and it was amazing both times! Very accomodating to a fussy person such as myself (which I'm very grateful for!). Breakfast was fresh and delicious, serving sizes were perfect!
Dinner was so good! We had the bruschetta entree, it was really yummy, however we thought it could of had another piece for the $ paid. It was quite a busy night and they still were happy to customise a meal for us! Tomato and Bocconcini pizza with added pancetta, I was in heaven! Seafood Linguine was fresh, the calamari just melted in your mouth.
We then got dessert as takeaway and my god, they were just to die for!
The service was amazing, everyone was so friendly and helpful.
We're not from Canberra, but we can definitely say that next time we're up, we'll be back for sure!! 😍
Cocktails were delicious too, definitely recommend!

Having been to quite a few functions at Sirens, I can safely say these people know how to put on a party! Great choice of finger foods and beverages, and occasionally a decent duo on the corner, crooning for the crowd. Love the flame effect of the heaters in winter.

Great food & great drinks!
Really tasty & filling pizzas full of flavour! Highly recommend trying the Greek lamb pizza.
Really nice to sit next to outside heaters.

Fillet steak with chips and a pepper sauce. Perfectly cooked and delicious. Serving size was generous too. Garlic pizza-bread was a bit pedestrian. A good experience over all 👍

Chicken Supreme (more like underwhelming) was comically small (single drumstick with a few veggies underneath) for the price of a main.
Burger was decent (would have been better with beer batter steak cut chips in photo) so might try again for pizza or breakfast.

Arrived around 5 and ordered within the first 10 minutes of sitting. Even with no one ordering it still took 10-15 minutes to be served at the bar. We didn’t start eating till 6:40 as part of the order ticket “didn’t print”.
Food was average, and should have costed %40 less than paid. Not a nice experience
