Riesling Bar & Restaurant
Your Canberra Hens Party Starts with at Rizla
Celebrate with Riesling, Share Plates & Your Favourite People
Planning a hens party that Canberra brides will actually remember? Welcome to Rizla.
If you’re a bride-to-be, maid of honour, or best friend on planning duty, you want somewhere that feels special without feeling stiff. Somewhere with incredible wine, generous plates, and an atmosphere that makes everyone relax the moment they sit down. That’s exactly what we do.
Located in the heart of Braddon, Rizla is Australia’s only Riesling-focused wine bar – and the perfect hens party venue for women who love great food, good conversation, and a little sparkle in their glass.
Whether it’s a long lunch, sunset drinks, or a full evening celebration, we host Canberra hens party gatherings that feel effortless, fun, and genuinely memorable.
Why Choose Rizla for Your Hens Party in Canberra?
A hens party should feel joyful, relaxed, and just a little indulgent. At Rizla, we make that easy.
With 10+ Rieslings by the glass and up to 70 bottles on the list, there’s something for every palate – from bright and zesty to layered and textured. Not everyone in the group drinks the same way, and that’s the beauty of hosting your hens party Canberra celebration here at Rizla. Whether your crew loves crisp whites, elegant reds, or sparkling wines, we’ve got the glass for you.
Our seasonal share plates are made for the middle of the table – designed to spark conversation, encourage tasting, and keep the energy high. Fresh seafood, vibrant small plates, indulgent cheeses, and comforting dishes in cooler months mean your Canberra hens party isn’t just drinks… it’s a full experience.
And because we’re a small, intimate space seating up to 40 guests, your celebration will always feel personal.
The Hens Party Venue That Feels Fun (Not Formal)
Some venues feel too rowdy. Others feel too rigid. Rizla sits comfortably in between.
We’re known as a leading wine bar and restaurant in Braddon that locals love. That balance is what makes us such a popular hens party venue.
You can dress up, pop a bottle, and toast the bride – without feeling like you’re in a function hall. Our mostly enclosed alfresco area is ideal for sunny afternoons and golden-hour drinks, while our indoor space keeps things cosy and intimate when the evening rolls in.

Our team are passionate guides. If someone in your group says, “I don’t think I like Riesling,” we’ll change their mind (gently). If someone wants to explore something new, we’ll guide them there.
From the first toast to the final pour, your hens party in Canberra feels easy, joyful, and a little indulgent.
