Picture this: It’s a sunny day in February and you gather your mates, free from the clutches of work and life. You’re looking for fun, a break from the norm and a place to relax.

It doesn’t have to be a daydream, fellas. We have rounded up some awesome ideas for mid-week nights out so all you need to do is gather the crew.

Power Kart Raceway
Is there anything better than hooning around on a go-kart to blow off some steam? Head down to Power Kart Raceway in Kingston and jump in a world class electric go-kart on an F1 style indoor circuit. After hours of some healthy competition head across to the Dock at Kingston Foreshore for a burger and a beer or two.

Men Inc
For a sophisticated evening of gentlemanly pursuits, Wednesday nights see Men Inc hit Lucky’s at QT Canberra. Get groomed at the Barber Shop with Late Night Cutz, then head next door to Lucky’s for awesome beer and cocktail specials, great tunes and a ping pong table to practice your forearm. This is the ultimate mid-week pick-me-up.

Take seat, @barberkris will be with you in a moment ⚔️

Twilight Golf
Hit the green after hours for at Capital Public Golf Course for some twilight golf. Not only is it perfect for an after-work game with your mates but if you come after 4pm you get unlimited holes for only $15 at daylight savings. After a birdie or two you will have worked up an appetite to head down to Public in Manuka for a bite to eat and still make it home at a decent hour for a school night. Sorted.
