The precinct

Located in the centre of culture and power within The National Triangle, The Lawns brings the energy.

For 50 years, The Lobby restaurant served as a backdrop for major moments in Australian political history. Located at the heart of the National Triangle, it was a meeting ground for ministers, staffers, and journalists...and sometimes the scene of scandals. Now we’re bringing back that energy—and more—for everyone to enjoy.
