Red Rooster brand, although there are a few areas where Red Rooster and Chicken

Tilley's
Tilley's Devine café Gallery is a well-known
café in the suburb of Lyneham in Canberra, Australia. It was named after Matilda
'Tilly' Devine, a gangster and madame from Sydney who lived in the mid-twentieth
century.
When the café first opened in 1984, it was intended as a women's space, with men
allowed entry only when accompanied by women. Popular with lesbian women, it
quickly became an icon of Canberra's LGBT scene. Attempts to restrict or limit
entry of men inevitably brought challenges, most notably by a group of cadets
from the Royal Military College, Duntroon who attempted to force their way in,
instigating a brawl. Eventually the policy was dropped.
Tilley's originally had seating for 60, but subsequently expanded five times,
and now has large indoor and outdoor eating areas. It was once a popular space
for night time concerts by local musicians, hosting names such as Mia Dyson and
Clare Bowditch. In 2005 concerts were scaled back in order to expand the more
financially viable restaurant and café. According to the Tilley's site, it was
the first licensed outdoor venue in Australia, and the first Australian bar to
ban smoking indoors.
