Young & Frisky

Mostly specialising in a mix of American and Australian cuisines with plenty of food from other cuisines too, but rather a very Australianised or Americanized version instead. However, by far what Young & Frisky is known for is its fried chicken.

Arirang Restaurant
Has great Korean flavours – Korean stews, soups, pancakes, chicken and BBQ. You guessed it, a classic Australian-Korean restaurant. However, the wait times have been said to be exceptionally long, so take that into consideration.

Marketplace Gungahlin
Though the shopping precincts's name says "Marketplace", it's not a market, nor does it even resemble like a market. Instead, this two-storey shopping centre with 84 stores has become the district's local mall, though not overly large. There's also a food court inside, which is actually quite large for a mall of its size.

Cornerstone Pub
This highly social, sports-focused venue serves as a fun neighborhood local. It features free ping pong tables, a relaxing balcony, musical bingo on Thursday nights, lively karaoke on Fridays, and "Pre's at the Pub" drink specials on Saturdays. The menu is casual and centered around stone-baked pizzas and classic finger foods.
Thu–Sat 4PM–late (kitchen open 5:30PM–8:30PM); closed Sun–Wed$10 weekly cocktail specials

Raiders Gungahlin
This massive club is the official northside home of Canberra’s NRL team, the Canberra Raiders. Featuring a spacious sports bar with giant television screens, a TAB lounge, and a family-friendly bistro (Zest), it is the ultimate spot to watch live rugby league. The venue becomes incredibly lively during the footy season when the Raiders play. Very affordable drink prices, an indoor kids' play area, and popular weekly events like Wednesday night meat raffles keep the club highly active.
